ft_string_indexer: Feature Transformation -- StringIndexer

Description

Encode a column of labels into a column of label indices. The indices are in [0, numLabels), ordered by label frequencies, with the most frequent label assigned index 0. The transformation can be reversed with ft_index_to_string.

Usage

ft_string_indexer(x, input.col = NULL, output.col = NULL, params = NULL,
  ...)

Arguments

x

An object (usually a spark_tbl) coercable to a Spark DataFrame.

input.col

The name of the input column(s).

output.col

The name of the output column.

params

An (optional) R environment -- when available, the index <-> label mapping generated by the string indexer will be injected into this environment under the labels key.

...

Optional arguments; currently unused.
