dask_ml.preprocessing.DummyEncoder¶
- class dask_ml.preprocessing.DummyEncoder(columns: Optional[Sequence[Any]] = None, drop_first: bool = False)¶
Dummy (one-hot) encode categorical columns.
- Parameters
- columnssequence, optional
The columns to dummy encode. Must be categorical dtype. Dummy encodes all categorical dtype columns by default.
- drop_firstbool, default False
Whether to drop the first category in each column.
- Attributes
- columns_Index
The columns in the training data before dummy encoding
- transformed_columns_Index
The columns in the training data after dummy encoding
- categorical_columns_Index
The categorical columns in the training data
- noncategorical_columns_Index
The rest of the columns in the training data
- categorical_blocks_dict
Mapping from column names to slice objects. The slices represent the positions in the transformed array that the categorical column ends up at
- dtypes_dict
Dictionary mapping column name to either
instances of CategoricalDtype (pandas >= 0.21.0)
tuples of (categories, ordered)
Notes
This transformer only applies to dask and pandas DataFrames. For dask DataFrames, all of your categoricals should be known.
The inverse transformation can be used on a dataframe or array.
Examples
>>> data = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3, 4], ... "B": pd.Categorical(['a', 'a', 'a', 'b'])}) >>> de = DummyEncoder() >>> trn = de.fit_transform(data) >>> trn A B_a B_b 0 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 2 3 1 0 3 4 0 1
>>> de.columns_ Index(['A', 'B'], dtype='object')
>>> de.non_categorical_columns_ Index(['A'], dtype='object')
>>> de.categorical_columns_ Index(['B'], dtype='object')
>>> de.dtypes_ {'B': CategoricalDtype(categories=['a', 'b'], ordered=False)}
>>> de.categorical_blocks_ {'B': slice(1, 3, None)}
>>> de.fit_transform(dd.from_pandas(data, 2)) Dask DataFrame Structure: A B_a B_b npartitions=2 0 int64 uint8 uint8 2 ... ... ... 3 ... ... ... Dask Name: get_dummies, 4 tasks
