snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.Binarizer

class snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.Binarizer(*, threshold: float = 0.0, 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

Binarizes data (sets feature values to 0 or 1) according to the given threshold.

Values must be of float type. Values greater than the threshold map to 1, while values less than or equal to the threshold map to 0. The default threshold of 0.0 maps only positive values to 1.

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

Args:
threshold: float, default=0.0

Feature values below or equal to this are replaced by 0, above it by 1. Default values is 0.0.

input_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]], default=None

The name(s) of one or more columns in a DataFrame containing a feature to be binarized.

output_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]], default=None

The name(s) of one or more columns in a DataFrame in which results will be stored. The number of columns specified must match the number of input columns.

passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[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.

Map each feature to a binary value.

Values greater than the threshold map to 1, while values less than or equal to the threshold map to 0. With the default threshold of 0, only positive values map to 1.

Data must be float-valued.

Args:

threshold: Feature values below or equal to this are replaced by 0, above it by 1. Default values is 0.0. input_cols: The name(s) of one or more columns in a DataFrame containing a feature to be binarized. output_cols: The name(s) of one or more columns in a DataFrame in which results will be stored. The number

of columns specified must match the number of input 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.

Methods

fit(dataset: Union[DataFrame, DataFrame]) Binarizer

This is a stateless transformer, so there is nothing to fit. Validates the transformer arguments. Returns the transformer instance.

Args:

dataset: Input dataset.

Returns:

self

Raises:

SnowflakeMLException: If the threshold is not a float.

get_input_cols() List[str]

Input columns getter.

Returns:

Input columns.

get_label_cols() List[str]

Label column getter.

Returns:

Label column(s).

get_output_cols() List[str]

Output columns getter.

Returns:

Output columns.

get_params(deep: bool = True) Dict[str, Any]

Get parameters for this transformer.

Args:
deep: If True, will return the parameters for this transformer and

contained subobjects that are transformers.

Returns:

Parameter names mapped to their values.

get_passthrough_cols() List[str]

Passthrough columns getter.

Returns:

Passthrough column(s).

get_sample_weight_col() Optional[str]

Sample weight column getter.

Returns:

Sample weight column.

get_sklearn_args(default_sklearn_obj: Optional[object] = None, sklearn_initial_keywords: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, sklearn_unused_keywords: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, snowml_only_keywords: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, sklearn_added_keyword_to_version_dict: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, sklearn_added_kwarg_value_to_version_dict: Optional[Dict[str, Dict[str, str]]] = None, sklearn_deprecated_keyword_to_version_dict: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, sklearn_removed_keyword_to_version_dict: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) Dict[str, Any]

Get sklearn keyword arguments.

This method enables modifying object parameters for special cases.

Args:
default_sklearn_obj: Sklearn object used to get default parameter values. Necessary when

sklearn_added_keyword_to_version_dict is provided.

sklearn_initial_keywords: Initial keywords in sklearn. sklearn_unused_keywords: Sklearn keywords that are unused in snowml. snowml_only_keywords: snowml only keywords not present in sklearn. sklearn_added_keyword_to_version_dict: Added keywords mapped to the sklearn versions in which they were

added.

sklearn_added_kwarg_value_to_version_dict: Added keyword argument values mapped to the sklearn versions

in which they were added.

sklearn_deprecated_keyword_to_version_dict: Deprecated keywords mapped to the sklearn versions in which

they were deprecated.

sklearn_removed_keyword_to_version_dict: Removed keywords mapped to the sklearn versions in which they

were removed.

Returns:

Sklearn parameter names mapped to their values.

set_drop_input_cols(drop_input_cols: Optional[bool] = False) None
set_input_cols(input_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]]) Base

Input columns setter.

Args:

input_cols: A single input column or multiple input columns.

Returns:

self

set_label_cols(label_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]]) Base

Label column setter.

Args:

label_cols: A single label column or multiple label columns if multi task learning.

Returns:

self

set_output_cols(output_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]]) Base

Output columns setter.

Args:

output_cols: A single output column or multiple output columns.

Returns:

self

set_params(**params: Dict[str, Any]) None

Set the parameters of this transformer.

The method works on simple transformers as well as on nested objects. The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Args:

**params: Transformer parameter names mapped to their values.

Raises:

SnowflakeMLException: Invalid parameter keys.

set_passthrough_cols(passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]]) Base

Passthrough columns setter.

Args:
passthrough_cols: Column(s) that should not be used or modified by the estimator/transformer.

Estimator/Transformer just passthrough these columns without any modifications.

Returns:

self

set_sample_weight_col(sample_weight_col: Optional[str]) Base

Sample weight column setter.

Args:

sample_weight_col: A single column that represents sample weight.

Returns:

self

to_lightgbm() Any
to_sklearn() Any
to_xgboost() Any
transform(dataset: Union[DataFrame, DataFrame]) Union[DataFrame, DataFrame]

Binarize the data. Map to 1 if it is strictly greater than the threshold, otherwise 0.

Args:

dataset: Input dataset.

Returns:

Output dataset.
