snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.StandardScaler

class snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.StandardScaler(*, with_mean: bool = True, with_std: bool = True, input_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, output_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, drop_input_cols: Optional[bool] = False)

Bases: BaseTransformer

Standardizes features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance. Values must be of float type.

For more details on what this transformer does, see sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler.

Parameters:
  • with_mean – bool, default=True If True, center the data before scaling.

  • with_std – bool, default=True If True, scale the data unit variance (i.e. unit standard deviation).

  • input_cols – Optional[Union[str, List[str]]], default=None The name(s) of one or more columns in the input DataFrame containing feature(s) to be scaled. Input columns must be specified before fit with this argument or after initialization with the set_input_cols method. This argument is optional for API consistency.

  • output_cols – Optional[Union[str, List[str]]], default=None The name(s) to assign output columns in the output DataFrame. The number of columns specified must equal the number of input columns. Output columns must be specified before transform with this argument or after initialization with the set_output_cols method. This argument is optional for API consistency.

  • passthrough_cols – Optional[Union[str, List[str]]], default=None A string or a list of strings indicating column names to be excluded from any operations (such as train, transform, or inference). These specified column(s) will remain untouched throughout the process. This option is helpful in scenarios requiring automatic input_cols inference, but need to avoid using specific columns, like index columns, during training or inference.

  • drop_input_cols – Optional[bool], default=False Remove input columns from output if set True. False by default.

scale_

Optional[Dict[str, float]] = {} Dictionary mapping input column names to relative scaling factor to achieve zero mean and unit variance. If a variance is zero, unit variance could not be achieved, and the data is left as-is, giving a scaling factor of 1. None if with_std is False.

mean_

Optional[Dict[str, float]] = {} Dictionary mapping input column name to the mean value for that feature. None if with_mean is False.

var_

Optional[Dict[str, float]] = {} Dictionary mapping input column name to the variance for that feature. Used to compute scale_. None if with_std is False

Standardize features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance.

Parameters:
  • with_mean – If True, center the data before scaling. This does not work (and will raise an exception) when attempted on sparse matrices, because centering them entails building a dense matrix which in common use cases is likely to be too large to fit in memory.

  • with_std – If True, scale the data to unit variance (or equivalently, unit standard deviation).

  • input_cols – Single or multiple input columns.

  • output_cols – Single or multiple output columns.

  • passthrough_cols – A string or a list of strings indicating column names to be excluded from any operations (such as train, transform, or inference). These specified column(s) will remain untouched throughout the process. This option is helful in scenarios requiring automatic input_cols inference, but need to avoid using specific columns, like index columns, during in training or inference.

  • drop_input_cols – Remove input columns from output if set True. False by default.

scale_

dict {column_name: value} or None Per feature relative scaling of the data to achieve zero mean and unit variance. If a variance is zero, we can’t achieve unit variance, and the data is left as-is, giving a scaling factor of 1. scale_ is equal to None when with_std=False.

mean_

dict {column_name: value} or None The mean value for each feature in the training set. Equal to None when with_mean=False.

var_

dict {column_name: value} or None The variance for each feature in the training set. Used to compute scale_. Equal to None when with_std=False.
