Using sklearn precision_recall_curve function with different classifiers
This may be an easy question, but I need help understanding how to use the precision_recall_curve function in sklearn.
I have a binary dataset, and am using three classifiers (SVM, RF, LR) to classify it.
The example in sklearn's documentation shows to use the function like this:
y_score = classifier.decision_function(X_test)
precision_recall_curve(y_test, y_score)
In the example, "decision_function" is a built in function for SVM classifiers. However, I don't see a function like that for Random Forest classifiers or Linear Regression.
Can someone help me understand what the y_score and decision function really is, and how I can calculate it for any classifier?
Thanks!

Look at the second param description in documentation of precision_recall_curve:
probas_pred : array, shape = [n_samples]
Estimated probabilities or decision function.
When decision_function() is not present, you may use predict_proba() in its place.

For all the other classifiers that do not have a built in decision_function,
you shall use the predict_proba function, that does esentially the same thing.
y_score = random_forest.predict_proba()
