Python : How to use Multinomial Logistic Regression using SKlearn

Question

I have a test dataset and train dataset as below. I have provided a sample data with min records, but my data has than 1000's of records. Here E is my target variable which I need to predict using an algorithm. It has only four categories like 1,2,3,4. It can take only any of these values.

Training Dataset:

A    B    C    D    E
1    20   30   1    1
2    22   12   33   2
3    45   65   77   3
12   43   55   65   4
11   25   30   1    1
22   23   19   31   2
31   41   11   70   3
1    48   23   60   4

Test Dataset:

A    B    C    D    E
11   21   12   11
1    2    3    4
5    6    7    8 
99   87   65   34 
11   21   24   12

Since E has only 4 categories, I thought of predicting this using Multinomial Logistic Regression (1 vs Rest Logic). I am trying to implement it using python.

I know the logic that we need to set these targets in a variable and use an algorithm to predict any of these values:

output = [1,2,3,4]

But I am stuck at a point on how to use it using python (sklearn) to loop through these values and what algorithm should I use to predict the output values? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

You could try

LogisticRegression(multi_class='multinomial',solver ='newton-cg').fit(X_train,y_train)
