Bucketizer

class pyspark.ml.feature.Bucketizer(splits=None, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, handleInvalid='error', splitsArray=None, inputCols=None, outputCols=None)[source]

Maps a column of continuous features to a column of feature buckets. Since 3.0.0, Bucketizer can map multiple columns at once by setting the inputCols parameter. Note that when both the inputCol and inputCols parameters are set, an Exception will be thrown. The splits parameter is only used for single column usage, and splitsArray is for multiple columns.

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

getHandleInvalid()

Gets the value of handleInvalid or its default value.

getInputCol()

Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

getInputCols()

Gets the value of inputCols 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.

getOutputCols()

Gets the value of outputCols or its default value.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

getSplits()[source]

Gets the value of threshold or its default value.

New in version 1.4.0.

getSplitsArray()[source]

Gets the array of split points or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

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.

setHandleInvalid(value)[source]

Sets the value of handleInvalid.

setInputCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of inputCol.

setInputCols(value)[source]

Sets the value of inputCols.

New in version 3.0.0.

setOutputCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of outputCol.

setOutputCols(value)[source]

Sets the value of outputCols.

New in version 3.0.0.

setParams(self, splits=None, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, handleInvalid='error', splitsArray=None, inputCols=None, outputCols=None)[source]

Sets params for this Bucketizer.

New in version 1.4.0.

setSplits(value)[source]

Sets the value of splits.

New in version 1.4.0.

setSplitsArray(value)[source]

Sets the value of splitsArray.

New in version 3.0.0.

transform(dataset, params=None)

Transforms 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.

Returns

transformed dataset

New in version 1.3.0.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes Documentation

handleInvalid = Param(parent='undefined', name='handleInvalid', doc="how to handle invalid entries containing NaN values. Values outside the splits will always be treated as errors. Options are 'skip' (filter out rows with invalid values), 'error' (throw an error), or 'keep' (keep invalid values in a special additional bucket). Note that in the multiple column case, the invalid handling is applied to all columns. That said for 'error' it will throw an error if any invalids are found in any column, for 'skip' it will skip rows with any invalids in any columns, etc.")

params

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