snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.KBinsDiscretizer

class snowflake.ml.modeling.preprocessing.KBinsDiscretizer(*, n_bins: Union[int, List[int]] = 5, encode: str = 'onehot', strategy: str = 'quantile', 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

Bin continuous data into intervals.

Args:
n_bins: int or array-like of shape (n_features,), default=5

The number of bins to produce. Raises ValueError if n_bins < 2.

encode: {‘onehot’, ‘onehot-dense’, ‘ordinal’}, default=’onehot’

Method used to encode the transformed result.

  • ‘onehot’: Encode the transformed result with one-hot encoding and return a sparse representation.

  • ‘onehot-dense’: Encode the transformed result with one-hot encoding and return separate column for

    each encoded value.

  • ‘ordinal’: Return the bin identifier encoded as an integer value.

strategy: {‘uniform’, ‘quantile’}, default=’quantile’

Strategy used to define the widths of the bins.

  • ‘uniform’: All bins in each feature have identical widths.

  • ‘quantile’: All bins in each feature have the same number of points.

input_cols: str or Iterable [column_name], default=None

Single or multiple input columns.

output_cols: str or Iterable [column_name], default=None

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 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: boolean, default=False

Remove input columns from output if set True.

Attributes:
bin_edges_: ndarray of ndarray of shape (n_features,)

The edges of each bin. Contain arrays of varying shapes (n_bins_, )

n_bins_: ndarray of shape (n_features,), dtype=np.int_

Number of bins per feature.

Base class for all transformers.

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:

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
