ChiSqSelector¶

class pyspark.ml.feature.ChiSqSelector(*, numTopFeatures=50, featuresCol='features', outputCol=None, labelCol='label', selectorType='numTopFeatures', percentile=0.1, fpr=0.05, fdr=0.05, fwe=0.05)[source]¶

Chi-Squared feature selection, which selects categorical features to use for predicting a categorical label. The selector supports different selection methods: numTopFeatures, percentile, fpr, fdr, fwe.

numTopFeatures chooses a fixed number of top features according to a chi-squared test.

percentile is similar but chooses a fraction of all features instead of a fixed number.

fpr chooses all features whose p-values are below a threshold, thus controlling the false positive rate of selection.

fdr uses the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to choose all features whose false discovery rate is below a threshold.

fwe chooses all features whose p-values are below a threshold. The threshold is scaled by 1/numFeatures, thus controlling the family-wise error rate of selection.

By default, the selection method is numTopFeatures, with the default number of top features set to 50.

Deprecated since version 3.1.0: Use UnivariateFeatureSelector

New in version 2.0.0.

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

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.
