Get a classification report stating the class wise precision and recall for multinomial Naive Bayes using 10 fold cross validation

Question

I have the following piece of code which uses an NB classifier for a multi class classification problem. The function preforms cross validation by storing the accuracies and printing the average later. What I instead want is a classification report specifying class wise precision and recall, instead of a mean accuracy score in the end.

   import random
   from sklearn import cross_validation
   from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB

   def multinomial_nb_with_cv(x_train, y_train):
        random.shuffle(X)
        kf = cross_validation.KFold(len(X), n_folds=10)
        acc = []
        for train_index, test_index in kf:
            y_true = y_train[test_index]
            clf = MultinomialNB().fit(x_train[train_index],         
            y_train[train_index])
            y_pred = clf.predict(x_train[test_index])
            acc.append(accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred))

If I do not perform cross validation all I have to do is:

    from sklearn.metrics import classification_report
    from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB

    def multinomial_nb(x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test):
        clf = MultinomialNB().fit(x_train, y_train)
        y_pred = clf.predict(x_test)
        y_true = y_test
        print classification_report(y_true, y_pred)

And it gives me a report like this:

        precision    recall  f1-score   support

      0       0.50      0.24      0.33       221
      1       0.00      0.00      0.00        18
      2       0.00      0.00      0.00        27
      3       0.00      0.00      0.00        28
      4       0.00      0.00      0.00        32
      5       0.04      0.02      0.02        57
      6       0.00      0.00      0.00        26
      7       0.00      0.00      0.00        25
      8       0.00      0.00      0.00        43
      9       0.00      0.00      0.00        99
     10       0.63      0.98      0.76       716

    avg / total       0.44      0.59      0.48      1292

How can I get a similar report even in the case of cross validation?

You can use cross_val_predict to generate your cross-validation prediction and then use classification_report.

from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.cross_validation import cross_val_predict
from sklearn.naive_bayes import GaussianNB
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report

# generate some artificial data with 11 classes
X, y = make_classification(n_samples=2000, n_features=20, n_informative=10, n_classes=11, random_state=0)

# your classifier, assume GaussianNB here for non-integer data X
estimator = GaussianNB()
# generate your cross-validation prediction with 10 fold Stratified sampling
y_pred = cross_val_predict(estimator, X, y, cv=10)
y_pred.shape

Out[91]: (2000,)

# generate report
print(classification_report(y, y_pred))
