Hands-On Machine Learning for Cybersecurity

Voting ensemble method to detect cyber attacks

In the voting ensemble method, every model gets to make a prediction about the results of the model, and the decision on the model result is made on the majority votes or predictions made. There is another advanced level of the voting the ensemble method known as weighted voting. Here certain predictor models have more weights associated with their votes and thus get to make more privileged predictions:

1. We start by importing the respective libraries:

import pandasfrom sklearn import model_selectionfrom sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegressionfrom sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier

from sklearn.svm import SVCfrom sklearn.ensemble import VotingClassifier

2. We detect a cyber attack ...
