plot_slice

optuna.visualization.matplotlib.plot_slice(study, params=None, *, target=None, target_name='Objective Value')

Plot the parameter relationship as slice plot in a study with Matplotlib.

See also

Please refer to optuna.visualization.plot_slice() for an example.

Parameters:

• study (Study) – A Study object whose trials are plotted for their target values.

• params (list[str] | None) – Parameter list to visualize. The default is all parameters.

• target (Callable[[FrozenTrial], float] | None) –

  A function to specify the value to display. If it is None and study is being used for single-objective optimization, the objective values are plotted.

  Note

  Specify this argument if study is being used for multi-objective optimization.

• target_name (str) – Target’s name to display on the axis label.

Returns:

A matplotlib.axes.Axes object.

Return type:

Axes

Note

Added in v2.2.0 as an experimental feature. The interface may change in newer versions without prior notice. See https://github.com/optuna/optuna/releases/tag/v2.2.0.

The following code snippet shows how to plot the parameter relationship as slice plot.

plot_slice is experimental (supported from v2.2.0). The interface can change in the future.
