Best way to combine probabilistic classifiers in scikit-learn

Question

I have a logistic regression and a random forest and I\'d like to combine them (ensemble) for the final classification probability calculation by taking an average.

Is t

Answer 1

Given the same problem, I used a majority voting method. Combing probabilities/scores arbitrarily is very problematic, in that the performance of your different classifiers can be different, (For example, an SVM with 2 different kernels , + a Random forest + another classifier trained on a different training set).

One possible method to "weigh" the different classifiers, might be to use their Jaccard score as a "weight". (But be warned, as I understand it, the different scores are not "all made equal", I know that a Gradient Boosting classifier I have in my ensemble gives all its scores as 0.97, 0.98, 1.00 or 0.41/0 . I.E. it's very overconfident..)
