====================================
Plotting Cross-Validated Predictions
====================================
This example shows how to use
:func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict` together with
:class:`~sklearn.metrics.PredictionErrorDisplay` to visualize prediction
errors.

# We will load the diabetes dataset and create an instance of a linear
# regression model.

X, y = load_diabetes(return_X_y=True)
lr = LinearRegression()

# :func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict` returns an array of the
# same size of `y` where each entry is a prediction obtained by cross
# validation.
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_predict
y_pred = cross_val_predict(lr, X, y, cv=10)
# %%
# Since `cv=10`, it means that we trained 10 models and each model was
# used to predict on one of the 10 folds. We can now use the
# :class:`~sklearn.metrics.PredictionErrorDisplay` to visualize the
# prediction errors.
#
# On the left axis, we plot the observed values :math:`y` vs. the predicted
# values :math:`\hat{y}` given by the models. On the right axis, we plot the
# residuals (i.e. the difference between the observed values and the predicted
# values) vs. the predicted values.

# It is important to note that we used
# :func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict` for visualization
# purpose only in this example.
#
# It would be problematic to
# quantitatively assess the model performance by computing a single
# performance metric from the concatenated predictions returned by
# :func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict`
# when the different CV folds vary by size and distributions.
#
# It is recommended to compute per-fold performance metrics using:
# :func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_score` or
# :func:`~sklearn.model_selection.cross_validate` instead.
