ColumnTransformer#

class ColumnTransformer(transformers, remainder='drop', sparse_threshold=0.3, n_jobs=1, transformer_weights=None, preserve_dataframe=True)[source]#

Column-wise application of transformers.

Applies transformations to columns of an array or pandas DataFrame. Simply takes the column transformer from sklearn and adds capability to handle pandas dataframe.

This estimator allows different columns or column subsets of the input to be transformed separately and the features generated by each transformer will be concatenated to form a single feature space. This is useful for heterogeneous or columnar data, to combine several feature extraction mechanisms or transformations into a single transformer.

Parameters:

transformerslist of tuples

List of (name, transformer, column(s)) tuples specifying the transformer objects to be applied to subsets of the data. name : string

Like in Pipeline and FeatureUnion, this allows the transformer and its parameters to be set using set_params and searched in grid search.

transformerestimator or {“passthrough”, “drop”}: Estimator must support fit and transform. Special-cased strings “drop” and “passthrough” are accepted as well, to indicate to drop the columns or to pass them through untransformed, respectively.

column(s) : str or int, array-like of string or int, slice, boolean mask array or callable

Indexes the data on its second axis. Integers are interpreted as positional columns, while strings can reference DataFrame columns by name. A scalar string or int should be used where transformer expects X to be a 1d array-like (vector), otherwise a 2d array will be passed to the transformer. A callable is passed the input data X and can return any of the above.

remainder{“drop”, “passthrough”} or estimator, default “drop”

By default, only the specified columns in transformations are transformed and combined in the output, and the non-specified columns are dropped. (default of "drop"). By specifying remainder="passthrough", all remaining columns that were not specified in transformations will be automatically passed through. This subset of columns is concatenated with the output of the transformations. By setting remainder to be an estimator, the remaining non-specified columns will use the remainder estimator. The estimator must support fit and transform.

sparse_thresholdfloat, default = 0.3

If the output of the different transformations contains sparse matrices, these will be stacked as a sparse matrix if the overall density is lower than this value. Use sparse_threshold=0 to always return dense. When the transformed output consists of all dense data, the stacked result will be dense, and this keyword will be ignored.

n_jobsint or None, optional (default=None)

Number of jobs to run in parallel. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors.

transformer_weightsdict, optional

Multiplicative weights for features per transformer. The output of the transformer is multiplied by these weights. Keys are transformer names, values the weights.

preserve_dataframeboolean

If True, pandas dataframe is returned. If False, numpy array is returned.

Attributes:

transformers_list: The collection of fitted transformations as tuples of (name, fitted_transformer, column). fitted_transformer can be an estimator, “drop”, or “passthrough”. In case there were no columns selected, this will be the unfitted transformer. If there are remaining columns, the final element is a tuple of the form: (“remainder”, transformer, remaining_columns) corresponding to the remainder parameter. If there are remaining columns, then len(transformers_)==len(transformations)+1, otherwise len(transformers_)==len(transformations).
named_transformers_Bunch object, a dictionary with attribute access: Access the fitted transformer by name.
sparse_output_bool: Boolean flag indicating whether the output of transform is a sparse matrix or a dense numpy array, which depends on the output of the individual transformations and the sparse_threshold keyword.

Panel scitype = collection of time series. pd.DataFrame with 2-level row MultiIndex (instance, time), 3D np.ndarray (instance, variable, time), list of Series typed pd.DataFrame
Hierarchical scitype = hierarchical collection of time series. pd.DataFrame with 3 or more level row MultiIndex (hierarchy_1, ..., hierarchy_n, time)

For further details on data format, see glossary on mtype. For usage, see transformer tutorial examples/03_transformers.ipynb

Using reset, runs __init__ with current values of hyper-parameters (result of get_params). This Removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__

object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

Class and object methods, and class attributes are also unaffected.

Returns:

self: Instance of class reset to a clean post-init state but retaining the current hyper-parameter values.

Notes

Equivalent to sklearn.clone but overwrites self. After self.reset() call, self is equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))

save(path=None, serialization_format='pickle')[source]#

Save serialized self to bytes-like object or to (.zip) file.

Behaviour: if path is None, returns an in-memory serialized self if path is a file location, stores self at that location as a zip file

saved files are zip files with following contents: _metadata - contains class of self, i.e., type(self) _obj - serialized self. This class uses the default serialization (pickle).

Parameters:

pathNone or file location (str or Path): if None, self is saved to an in-memory object if file location, self is saved to that file location. If:

path=”estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be made at cwd. path=”/home/stored/estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be stored in /home/stored/.
serialization_format: str, default = “pickle”: Module to use for serialization. The available options are “pickle” and “cloudpickle”. Note that non-default formats might require installation of other soft dependencies.

Returns:

if path is None - in-memory serialized self
if path is file location - ZipFile with reference to the file

“diagram” = html box diagram representation
“text” = string printout

print_changed_onlybool, default=True

whether printing of self lists only self-parameters that differ from defaults (False), or all parameter names and values (False). Does not nest, i.e., only affects self and not component estimators.

warningsstr, “on” (default), or “off”

whether to raise warnings, affects warnings from sktime only

“on” = will raise warnings from sktime
“off” = will not raise warnings from sktime

“None”: executes loop sequentally, simple list comprehension
“loky”, “multiprocessing” and “threading”: uses joblib.Parallel
“joblib”: custom and 3rd party joblib backends, e.g., spark
“dask”: uses dask, requires dask package in environment

backend:parallel:paramsdict, optional, default={} (no parameters passed)

additional parameters passed to the parallelization backend as config. Valid keys depend on the value of backend:parallel:

“None”: no additional parameters, backend_params is ignored
“loky”, “multiprocessing” and “threading”: default joblib backends any valid keys for joblib.Parallel can be passed here, e.g., n_jobs, with the exception of backend which is directly controlled by backend. If n_jobs is not passed, it will default to -1, other parameters will default to joblib defaults.
“joblib”: custom and 3rd party joblib backends, e.g., spark. Any valid keys for joblib.Parallel can be passed here, e.g., n_jobs, backend must be passed as a key of backend_params in this case. If n_jobs is not passed, it will default to -1, other parameters will default to joblib defaults.
“dask”: any valid keys for dask.compute can be passed, e.g., scheduler

input_conversionstr, one of “on” (default), “off”, or valid mtype string

controls input checks and conversions, for _fit, _transform, _inverse_transform, _update

"off" - input check and conversion are not carried out before passing data to inner methods
valid mtype string - input is assumed to specified mtype, conversion is carried out but no check

output_conversionstr, one of “on”, “off”, valid mtype string

controls output conversion for _transform, _inverse_transform

"on" - if input_conversion is “on”, output conversion is carried out
"off" - output of _transform, _inverse_transform is directly returned
valid mtype string - output is converted to specified mtype

Returns:

selfreference to self.

Notes

Changes object state, copies configs in config_dict to self._config_dynamic.

set_output(*, transform=None)[source]#

Set the output container when “transform” and “fit_transform” are called.

Calling set_output will set the output of all estimators in transformers and transformers_.

Parameters:

transform{“default”, “pandas”, “polars”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

“default”: Default output format of a transformer
“pandas”: DataFrame output
“polars”: Polars output
None: Transform configuration is unchanged

Added in version 1.4: “polars” option was added.

Returns:

set_params(**kwargs)[source]#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

Valid parameter keys can be listed with get_params(). Note that you can directly set the parameters of the estimators contained in transformers of ColumnTransformer.

**kwargsdict: Estimator parameters.

Returns:

selfColumnTransformer: This estimator.

set_random_state(random_state=None, deep=True, self_policy='copy')[source]#

Set random_state pseudo-random seed parameters for self.

Finds random_state named parameters via estimator.get_params, and sets them to integers derived from random_state via set_params. These integers are sampled from chain hashing via sample_dependent_seed, and guarantee pseudo-random independence of seeded random generators.

Applies to random_state parameters in estimator depending on self_policy, and remaining component estimators if and only if deep=True.

Note: calls set_params even if self does not have a random_state, or none of the components have a random_state parameter. Therefore, set_random_state will reset any scikit-base estimator, even those without a random_state parameter.

Parameters:

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pseudo-random number generator to control the generation of the random integers. Pass int for reproducible output across multiple function calls.

deepbool, default=True

self_policystr, one of {“copy”, “keep”, “new”}, default=”copy”

“copy” : estimator.random_state is set to input random_state
“keep” : estimator.random_state is kept as is
“new” : estimator.random_state is set to a new random state,

derived from input random_state, and in general different from it

Returns:

selfreference to self

set_tags(**tag_dict)[source]#
