Perform feature expansion in a polynomial space. E.g. take a 2-variable feature vector as an example: (x, y), if we want to expand it with degree 2, then we get (x, x * x, y, x * y, y * y).
ft_polynomial_expansion(x, input_col, output_col, degree = 2L,
uid = random_string("polynomial_expansion_"), ...)A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
The name of the input column.
The name of the output column.
The polynomial degree to expand, which should be greater than equal to 1. A value of 1 means no expansion. Default: 2
A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
Optional arguments; currently unused.
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
