AdWin: ADaptive sliding WINdow algorithm

Based on paper:

Bifet and R. Gavalda. 2007. Learning from Time-Changing Data with Adaptive Windowing

class concept_drift.adwin.AdWin(
    delta=0.002, max_buckets=5, min_clock=32, min_win_len=10, min_sub_win_len=5
)

Parameters
delta	Confidence value
max_buckets	Max number of buckets within one bucket row
min_clock	Min number of new data for starting to reduce window and detect change
min_window_len	Min window length for starting to reduce window and detect change
min_sub_window_len	Min sub-window length, which is split from whole window

Methods

set_input(value)

Set input value to the drift detector - ADWIN.

Type	Input - Output
Parameters	value: Input value
Return	Boolean: Whether has drift

Example

from concept_drift.adwin import AdWin

adwin = AdWin()
for i in range(1000):
    if adwin.set_input(i):
        print("Here is a drift")

)

Parameters
delta_	Magnitude of changes that are allowed
lambda_	Difference threshold
alpha_	Adaption variable for lambda adjustment

Methods

set_input(value)

Type	Input - Output
Parameters	value: Input value
Return	Boolean: Whether has drift

Test

Used the elecNormNew dataset;
Used GaussianNB as based classification;
Used accuracy_score as input date for change detector;
Used the prequential evaluation;
