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.

New in version 1.4.0.

Methods

clear(param)

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

copy([extra])

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.

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.

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)’.

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
extradict, optional

Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns
JavaParams

Copy of this instance

explainParams()

Parameters
extradict, optional

dict

merged param map

getInputCol()

Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

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.
