# Usage
The application is compatible to [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) and can be used like every other classifier from the scikit-learn library. In order to use the Choquet classifier, import the class **ChoquetClassifier** from the module **choquet_classifier** from the package **classifier**. Some examples are shown below:
## Default example
Use the contructor and the function **fit** to initialize the Choquet classifier for a given dataset.
```python
>>> from classifier.choquet_classifier import ChoquetClassifier
>>> X = [[1, 3, 2],
... [1, 0, 3]]
>>> y = [1, 0]
>>> cc = ChoquetClassifier()
>>> cc.fit(X, y)
```
Use the function **predict** to classify samples.
```python
>>> Z = [[1, 1, 2],
... [2, 1, 3]]
>>> cc.predict(Z)
array([0, 0])
```
## Examples with hyper-parameters
```python
>>> from classifier.choquet_classifier import ChoquetClassifier
>>> X = [[1, 3, 2],
... [1, 0, 3]]
>>> y = [1, 0]
>>> cc = ChoquetClassifier(additivity=3, regularization=1)
>>> cc.fit(X, y)
```
Again, the function **predict** can be used to classify samples. Note the different output compared to the first example.
```python
>>> Z = [[1, 1, 2],
... [2, 1, 3]]
>>> sc.predict(Z)
array([0, 1])
```
## Example with different class labels
The classes do not have to be labeled with 0 and 1; any integer numbers or strings may be used instead. The smaller label in terms of the relation or lexicographic ordering is given to the negative class, whereas the other label is assigned to the positive class.
The first example contains the class labels 2 and 1. Label 2 is assigned to the positive class and label 1 is assigned to the negative class since 2>1.
```python
>>> from classifier.choquet_classifier import ChoquetClassifier
>>> X = [[1, 3, 2],
... [1, 0, 3]]
>>> y = [2, 1]
>>> cc = ChoquetClassifier()
>>> cc.fit(X, y)
>>> Z = [[1, 1, 2],
... [2, 1, 3]]
>>> sc.predict(Z)
array([1, 1])
```
The second example contains the class labels 'one' and 'two'. Label 'one' is assigned to the negative class and label 'two' is assigned to the positive class because 'one' comes lexicographically first.
```python
>>> from classifier.choquet_classifier import ChoquetClassifier
>>> X = [[1, 3, 2],
... [1, 0, 3]]
>>> y = ['two', 'one']
>>> cc = ChoquetClassifier()
>>> cc.fit(X, y)
>>> Z = [[1, 1, 2],
... [2, 1, 3]]
>>> sc.predict(Z)
array(['one', 'one'])
```
