ft_chisq_selector

Feature Transformation – ChiSqSelector (Estimator)


Description

Chi-Squared feature selection, which selects categorical features to use for predicting a categorical label

Usage

ft_chisq_selector(
  x,
  features_col = "features",
  output_col = NULL,
  label_col = "label",
  selector_type = "numTopFeatures",
  fdr = 0.05,
  fpr = 0.05,
  fwe = 0.05,
  num_top_features = 50,
  percentile = 0.1,
  uid = random_string("chisq_selector_"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.

features_col

Features column name, as a length-one character vector. The column should be single vector column of numeric values. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.

output_col

The name of the output column.

label_col

Label column name. The column should be a numeric column. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.

selector_type

(Spark 2.1.0+) The selector type of the ChisqSelector. Supported options: "numTopFeatures" (default), "percentile", "fpr", "fdr", "fwe".

fdr

(Spark 2.2.0+) The upper bound of the expected false discovery rate. Only applicable when selector_type = "fdr". Default value is 0.05.

fpr

(Spark 2.1.0+) The highest p-value for features to be kept. Only applicable when selector_type= "fpr". Default value is 0.05.

fwe

(Spark 2.2.0+) The upper bound of the expected family-wise error rate. Only applicable when selector_type = "fwe". Default value is 0.05.

num_top_features

Number of features that selector will select, ordered by ascending p-value. If the number of features is less than num_top_features, then this will select all features. Only applicable when selector_type = "numTopFeatures". The default value of num_top_features is 50.

percentile

(Spark 2.1.0+) Percentile of features that selector will select, ordered by statistics value descending. Only applicable when selector_type = "percentile". Default value is 0.1.

uid

A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.

...

Optional arguments; currently unused.

Details

In the case where x is a tbl_spark, the estimator fits against x to obtain a transformer, which is then immediately used to transform x, returning a tbl_spark.

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x.

  • spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_transformer, a ml_estimator, or one of their subclasses. The object contains a pointer to a Spark Transformer or Estimator object and can be used to compose Pipeline objects.

  • ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with the transformer or estimator appended to the pipeline.

  • tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a transformer is constructed then immediately applied to the input tbl_spark, returning a tbl_spark
