MaxAbsScaler

class pyspark.ml.feature.MaxAbsScaler(inputCol=None, outputCol=None)[source]

Rescale each feature individually to range [-1, 1] by dividing through the largest maximum absolute value in each feature. It does not shift/center the data, and thus does not destroy any sparsity.

>>> from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([(Vectors.dense([1.0]),), (Vectors.dense([2.0]),)], ["a"])
>>> maScaler = MaxAbsScaler(outputCol="scaled")
>>> maScaler.setInputCol("a")
MaxAbsScaler...
>>> model = maScaler.fit(df)
>>> model.setOutputCol("scaledOutput")
MaxAbsScalerModel...
>>> model.transform(df).show()

>>> scalerPath = temp_path + "/max-abs-scaler"

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.

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.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

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.

setInputCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of inputCol.

setOutputCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of outputCol.

setParams(self, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)[source]

Sets params for this MaxAbsScaler.

New in version 2.0.0.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes Documentation

inputCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='inputCol', doc='input column name.')
outputCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='outputCol', doc='output column name.')
params

Returns all params ordered by name. The default implementation uses dir() to get all attributes of type Param.
