gators.encoders.FrequencyEncoder¶

class gators.encoders.FrequencyEncoder(inplace=True)[source]¶

Encode the categorical columns as integer columns based on the category count.

Parameters

inplacebool, default to True.: If True, replace in-place the categorical values by numerical ones. If False, keep the categorical columns and create new encoded columns.

Examples

Imports and initialization:

>>> from gators.encoders import FrequencyEncoder
>>> obj = FrequencyEncoder()

The fit, transform, and fit_transform methods accept:

dask dataframes:

>>> import dask.dataframe as dd
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> X = dd.from_pandas(pd.DataFrame({'A': ['a', 'a', 'b'], 'B': ['c', 'd', 'd']}), npartitions=1)

koalas dataframes:

>>> import databricks.koalas as ks
>>> X = ks.DataFrame({'A': ['a', 'a', 'b'], 'B': ['c', 'd', 'd']})

and pandas dataframes:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> X = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['a', 'a', 'b'], 'B': ['c', 'd', 'd']})

The result is a transformed dataframe belonging to the same dataframe library.

>>> obj.fit_transform(X)
     A    B
0  2.0  1.0
1  2.0  2.0
2  1.0  2.0

Independly of the dataframe library used to fit the transformer, the tranform_numpy method only accepts NumPy arrays and returns a transformed NumPy array. Note that this transformer should only be used when the number of rows is small e.g. in real-time environment.

>>> obj.transform_numpy(X.to_numpy())
array([[2., 1.],
       [2., 2.],
       [1., 2.]])

static decompose_mapping(mapping: Dict[str, Dict[str, float]]) → Tuple[List[str], numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray]¶

Decompose the mapping.

Parameters

mappingDict[str, Dict[str, float]]: The dictionary keys are the categorical columns, the keys are the mapping itself for the assocaited column.

Returns

columnsList[float]: List of columns.
values_vecnp.ndarray: Values to encode.
encoded_values_vecnp.ndarray: Values used to encode.

display_mapping(cmap: Union[str, colormap], k=5, decimal=2, title='')¶

Display the encoder mapping in a jupyter notebook. Parameters ———- cmap : Union[str, ‘colormap’]

Matplotlib colormap.

kint, default 5.: Number of mappings displayed.
decimalsint, default 2.: Number of decimal places to use.
titlestr, default ‘’.: Plot title.

fit_transform(X: Union[pd.DataFrame, ks.DataFrame, dd.DataFrame], y: Union[pd.Series, ks.Series, dd.Series] = None) → Union[pd.DataFrame, ks.DataFrame, dd.DataFrame]¶

Fit and Transform the dataframe X.

Parameters

XDataFrame.: Input dataframe.
ySeries, default None.: Input target.

Returns

XDataFrame: Transformed dataframe.

static get_column_names(inplace: bool, columns: List[str], suffix: str)¶

Return the names of the modified columns.
