===========================================================
Plot class probabilities calculated by the VotingClassifier
===========================================================

.. currentmodule:: sklearn

Plot the class probabilities of the first sample in a toy dataset predicted by
three different classifiers and averaged by the
:class:`~ensemble.VotingClassifier`.

First, three examplary classifiers are initialized
(:class:`~linear_model.LogisticRegression`, :class:`~naive_bayes.GaussianNB`,
and :class:`~ensemble.RandomForestClassifier`) and used to initialize a
soft-voting :class:`~ensemble.VotingClassifier` with weights `[1, 1, 5]`, which
means that the predicted probabilities of the
:class:`~ensemble.RandomForestClassifier` count 5 times as much as the weights
of the other classifiers when the averaged probability is calculated.

To visualize the probability weighting, we fit each classifier on the training
set and plot the predicted class probabilities for the first sample in this
example dataset.
