Imputer
(strategy='mean', missingValue=nan, inputCols=None, outputCols=None, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, relativeError=0.001)[source]¶ Imputation estimator for completing missing values, either using the mean or the median of the columns in which the missing values are located. The input columns should be of numeric type. Currently Imputer does not support categorical features and possibly creates incorrect values for a categorical feature.
Note that the mean/median value is computed after filtering out missing values. All Null values in the input columns are treated as missing, and so are also imputed. For computing median,
pyspark.sql.DataFrame.approxQuantile()
is used with a relative error of 0.001.>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([(1.0, float("nan")), (2.0, float("nan")), (float("nan"), 3.0), ... (4.0, 4.0), (5.0, 5.0)], ["a", "b"]) >>> imputer = Imputer() >>> imputer.setInputCols(["a", "b"]) Imputer... >>> imputer.setOutputCols(["out_a", "out_b"]) Imputer... >>> imputer.getRelativeError() 0.001 >>> model = imputer.fit(df) >>> model.setInputCols(["a", "b"]) ImputerModel... >>> model.getStrategy() 'mean' >>> model.surrogateDF.show() +---+---+ | a| b| +---+---+ |3.0|4.0| +---+---+ ... >>> model.transform(df).show() +---+---+-----+-----+ | a| b|out_a|out_b| +---+---+-----+-----+ |1.0|NaN| 1.0| 4.0| |2.0|NaN| 2.0| 4.0| |NaN|3.0| 3.0| 3.0| ... >>> imputer.setStrategy("median").setMissingValue(1.0).fit(df).transform(df).show() +---+---+-----+-----+ | a| b|out_a|out_b| +---+---+-----+-----+ |1.0|NaN| 4.0| NaN| ... >>> df1 = spark.createDataFrame([(1.0,), (2.0,), (float("nan"),), (4.0,), (5.0,)], ["a"]) >>> imputer1 = Imputer(inputCol="a", outputCol="out_a") >>> model1 = imputer1.fit(df1) >>> model1.surrogateDF.show() +---+ | a| +---+ |3.0| +---+ ... >>> model1.transform(df1).show() +---+-----+ | a|out_a| +---+-----+ |1.0| 1.0| |2.0| 2.0| |NaN| 3.0| ... >>> imputer1.setStrategy("median").setMissingValue(1.0).fit(df1).transform(df1).show() +---+-----+ | a|out_a| +---+-----+ |1.0| 4.0| ... >>> df2 = spark.createDataFrame([(float("nan"),), (float("nan"),), (3.0,), (4.0,), (5.0,)], ...

Methods

Methods Documentation
-
clear
(param)¶ Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
-
copy
(extra=None)¶ Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.
- Parameters
extra – Extra parameters to copy to the new instance
- Returns
Copy of this instance
-
explainParam
(param)¶ Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
-
explainParams
()¶ Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
-
extractParamMap
(extra=None)¶ Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
- Parameters
extra – extra param values
- Returns
merged param map
-
fit
(dataset, params=None)¶ Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.
- Parameters
dataset – input dataset, which is an instance of
pyspark.sql.DataFrame
params – an optional param map that overrides embedded params. If a list/tuple of param maps is given, this calls fit on each param map and returns a list of models.
- Returns
fitted model(s)
New in version 1.3.0.
-
fitMultiple
(dataset, paramMaps)¶ Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.
- Parameters
dataset – input dataset, which is an instance of
pyspark.sql.DataFrame
.paramMaps – A Sequence of param maps.
- Returns
A thread safe iterable which contains one model for each param map. Each call to next(modelIterator) will return (index, model) where model was fit using paramMaps[index]. index values may not be sequential.
New in version 2.3.0.
-
getInputCol
()¶ Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

()¶ Gets the value of
missingValue
or its default value.New in version 2.2.0.
-
getOrDefault
(param)¶ Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.
-
getOutputCol
()¶ Gets the value of outputCol or its default value.
-
getOutputCols
()¶ Gets the value of outputCols or its default value.
-
getParam
(paramName)¶ Gets a param by its name.
-
getRelativeError

-
hasDefault
(param)¶ Checks whether a param has a default value.
-
hasParam
(paramName)¶ Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined
(param)¶ Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
-
isSet
(param)¶ Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
-
classmethod
load
(path)¶ Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).
-
classmethod
read
()¶ Returns an MLReader instance for this class.
-
save
(path)¶ Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.
-
set
(param, value)¶ Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
