# `FeatureImportanceClassifier`

### *class* capymoa.feature.FeatureImportanceClassifier[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/feature/_feature_importance.py#L80)

Bases: [`Classifier`](capymoa.base.Classifier.md#capymoa.base.Classifier)

Base class for classifiers that expose feature-importance estimates.

Subclass this when implementing a pure Python feature-importance method.
MOA-backed learners should use [`MOAFeatureImportanceClassifier`](capymoa.feature.MOAFeatureImportanceClassifier.md#capymoa.feature.MOAFeatureImportanceClassifier).

Predict the label of an instance.

The base implementation calls [`predict_proba()`](#capymoa.feature.FeatureImportanceClassifier.predict_proba) and returns the
label with the highest probability.

* **Parameters:**
  **instance** – The instance to predict the label for.
* **Returns:**
  The predicted label or `None` if the classifier is unable
  to make a prediction.

#### *abstract* predict_proba(instance: [Instance](capymoa.core.Instance.md#capymoa.core.Instance)) → [ndarray](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.html#numpy.ndarray)[[tuple](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#tuple)[[Any](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Any), ...], [dtype](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.dtype.html#numpy.dtype)[float64]] | [None](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/base/_classifier.py#L47)

Return probability estimates for each label.

* **Parameters:**
  **instance** – The instance to estimate the probabilities for.
* **Returns:**
  An array of probabilities for each label or `None` if the
  classifier is unable to make a prediction.

#### *abstract* train(instance: [LabeledInstance](capymoa.core.LabeledInstance.md#capymoa.core.LabeledInstance)) → [None](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/base/_classifier.py#L40)

Train the classifier with a labeled instance.

* **Parameters:**
  **instance** – The labeled instance to train the classifier with.

#### random_seed *: [int](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#int)*

The random seed for reproducibility.

When implementing a classifier ensure random number generators are seeded.

#### schema *: [Schema](capymoa.stream.Schema.md#capymoa.stream.Schema)*

The schema representing the instances.
