ft_bucketizer: Feature Transformation -- Bucketizer (Transformer)

Description

Similar to R's cut function, this transforms a numeric column into a discretized column, with breaks specified through the splits parameter.

Usage

ft_bucketizer(x, input_col = NULL, output_col = NULL, splits = NULL,
  input_cols = NULL, output_cols = NULL, splits_array = NULL,
  handle_invalid = "error", uid = random_string("bucketizer_"), ...)

Arguments

x

A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.

input_col

The name of the input column.

output_col

The name of the output column.

splits

A numeric vector of cutpoints, indicating the bucket boundaries.

input_cols

Names of input columns.

output_cols

Names of output columns.

splits_array

Parameter for specifying multiple splits parameters. Each element in this array can be used to map continuous features into buckets.

handle_invalid

(Spark 2.1.0+) Param for how to handle invalid entries. Options are 'skip' (filter out rows with invalid values), 'error' (throw an error), or 'keep' (keep invalid values in a special additional bucket). Default: "error"

uid

A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.

...

Optional arguments; currently unused.

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
