Pipeline

class pyspark.ml.Pipeline(*, stages=None)[source]

A simple pipeline, which acts as an estimator. A Pipeline consists of a sequence of stages, each of which is either an Estimator or a Transformer. When Pipeline.fit() is called, the stages are executed in order. If a stage is an Estimator, its Estimator.fit() method will be called on the input dataset to fit a model. Then the model, which is a transformer, will be used to transform the dataset as the input to the next stage. If a stage is a Transformer, its Transformer.transform() method will be called to produce the dataset for the next stage. The fitted model from a Pipeline is a PipelineModel, which consists of fitted models and transformers, corresponding to the pipeline stages. If stages is an empty list, the pipeline acts as an identity transformer.

Methods

clear(param)

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy([extra])

Creates a 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])

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.

fit(dataset[, params])

Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.

fitMultiple(dataset, paramMaps)

Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.

getOrDefault(param)

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

getStages()

Get pipeline stages.

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.

load(path)

Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

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.

setParams(self, \*[, stages])

Sets params for Pipeline.

setStages(value)

Set pipeline stages.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes

Returns all params ordered by name.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)[source]

Creates a copy of this instance.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters
extradict, optional

extra parameters

Returns
Pipeline

new 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
extradict, optional

extra param values

Returns
dict

merged param map

fit(dataset, params=None)

Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters
datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame

input dataset.

paramsdict or list or tuple, optional

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
Transformer or a list of Transformer

fitted model(s)

fitMultiple(dataset, paramMaps)

Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.

New in version 2.3.0.

Parameters
datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame

input dataset.

paramMapscollections.abc.Sequence

A Sequence of param maps.

Returns
_FitMultipleIterator

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.

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.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

getStages()[source]

Get pipeline stages.

New in version 1.3.0.

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()[source]

Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

New in version 2.0.0.

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.

setParams(self, \*, stages=None)[source]

Sets params for Pipeline.

New in version 1.3.0.

setStages(value)[source]

Set pipeline stages.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters
valuelist

of pyspark.ml.Transformer or pyspark.ml.Estimator

Returns
Pipeline

the pipeline instance

write()[source]

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

New in version 2.0.0.

Attributes Documentation

params

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