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.
`evaluate`(dataset[, params])	Evaluates the output with optional parameters.
`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.
`getK`()	Gets the value of k or its default value.
`getLabelCol`()	Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.
`getMetricName`()	Gets the value of metricName or its default value.
`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.
`getPredictionCol`()	Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.
`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.
`isLargerBetter`()	Indicates whether the metric returned by `evaluate()` should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False).
`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.
`setK`(value)	Sets the value of `k`.
`setLabelCol`(value)	Sets the value of `labelCol`.
`setMetricName`(value)	Sets the value of `metricName`.
`setParams`(self, \*[, predictionCol, labelCol, k])	Sets params for ranking evaluator.
`setPredictionCol`(value)	Sets the value of `predictionCol`.
`write`()	Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes

`k`
`labelCol`

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

evaluate(dataset, params=None)#

Evaluates the output with optional parameters.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions
paramsdict, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params

Returns

float: metric

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

getK()[source]#: Gets the value of k or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

getLabelCol()#: Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.

getMetricName()[source]#: Gets the value of metricName or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

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.

getPredictionCol()#: Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.

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.

isLargerBetter()#: Indicates whether the metric returned by evaluate() should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False). A given evaluator may support multiple metrics which may be maximized or minimized.

New in version 1.5.0.

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.

setK(value)[source]#: Sets the value of k.

New in version 3.0.0.

setLabelCol(value)[source]#: Sets the value of labelCol.

New in version 3.0.0.

setMetricName(value)[source]#: Sets the value of metricName.

New in version 3.0.0.

setParams(self, \*, predictionCol="prediction", labelCol="label", metricName="meanAveragePrecision", k=10)[source]#: Sets params for ranking evaluator.

New in version 3.0.0.

setPredictionCol(value)[source]#: Sets the value of predictionCol.

New in version 3.0.0.

write()#: Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes Documentation

k = Param(parent='undefined', name='k', doc='The ranking position value used in meanAveragePrecisionAtK|precisionAtK|ndcgAtK|recallAtK. Must be > 0. The default value is 10.')#

labelCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='labelCol', doc='label column name.')#

metricName = Param(parent='undefined', name='metricName', doc='metric name in evaluation (meanAveragePrecision|meanAveragePrecisionAtK|precisionAtK|ndcgAtK|recallAtK)')#

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

predictionCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='predictionCol', doc='prediction column name.')#

uid#: A unique id for the object.
