Suppress scientific notation in sklearn.metrics.plot_confusion_matrix

Question

I was trying to plot a confusion matrix nicely, so I followed scikit-learn's newer version 0.22's in built plot confusion matrix function. However, one value of my confusion matrix value is 153, but it appears as 1.5e+02 in the confusion matrix plot:

Following the scikit-learn's documentation, I spotted this parameter called values_format, but I do not know how to manipulate this parameter so that it can suppress the scientific notation. My code is as follows.

from sklearn import svm, datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import plot_confusion_matrix

# import some data to play with

X = pd.read_csv("datasets/X.csv")
y = pd.read_csv("datasets/y.csv")

class_names = ['Not Fraud (positive)', 'Fraud (negative)']

# Split the data into a training set and a test set
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.33, random_state=42)

# Run classifier, using a model that is too regularized (C too low) to see
# the impact on the results
logreg = LogisticRegression()
logreg.fit(X_train, y_train)


np.set_printoptions(precision=2)

# Plot non-normalized confusion matrix
titles_options = [("Confusion matrix, without normalization", None),
                  ("Normalized confusion matrix", 'true')]
for title, normalize in titles_options:
    disp = plot_confusion_matrix(logreg, X_test, y_test,
                                 display_labels=class_names,
                                 cmap=plt.cm.Greens,
                                 normalize=normalize, values_format = '{:.5f}'.format)
    disp.ax_.set_title(title)

    print(title)
    print(disp.confusion_matrix)

plt.show()

Try something like values_format='d' and see if that suits your purpose. — Sergey Bushmanov
values_format='' just leaves a standard way to display the numbers. '.2g' is the default for this plot function, which displays 153 as 1.5e+02 and is quite weird as default. More info about the formats the Python docs. — JohanC

Just remove ".format" and the {} brackets from your call parameter declaration:

disp = plot_confusion_matrix(logreg, X_test, y_test,
                                 display_labels=class_names,
                                 cmap=plt.cm.Greens,
                                 normalize=normalize, values_format = '.5f')

In addition, you can use '.5g' to avoid decimal 0's
