Bases: BaseTransformer

Imputation for completing missing values using k-Nearest Neighbors For more details on this class, see sklearn.impute.KNNImputer

input_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

A string or list of strings representing column names that contain features. If this parameter is not specified, all columns in the input DataFrame except the columns specified by label_cols, sample_weight_col, and passthrough_cols parameters are considered input columns. Input columns can also be set after initialization with the set_input_cols method.

label_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

This parameter is optional and will be ignored during fit. It is present here for API consistency by convention.

output_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

A string or list of strings representing column names that will store the output of predict and transform operations. The length of output_cols must match the expected number of output columns from the specific predictor or transformer class used. If you omit this parameter, output column names are derived by adding an OUTPUT_ prefix to the label column names for supervised estimators, or OUTPUT_<IDX>for unsupervised estimators. These inferred output column names work for predictors, but output_cols must be set explicitly for transformers. In general, explicitly specifying output column names is clearer, especially if you don’t specify the input column names. To transform in place, pass the same names for input_cols and output_cols. be set explicitly for transformers. Output columns can also be set after initialization with the set_output_cols method.

sample_weight_col: Optional[str]

A string representing the column name containing the sample weights. This argument is only required when working with weighted datasets. Sample weight column can also be set after initialization with the set_sample_weight_col method.

passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

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. Passthrough columns can also be set after initialization with the set_passthrough_cols method.

drop_input_cols: Optional[bool], default=False

If set, the response of predict(), transform() methods will not contain input columns.

missing_values: int, float, str, np.nan or None, default=np.nan

The placeholder for the missing values. All occurrences of missing_values will be imputed. For pandas’ dataframes with nullable integer dtypes with missing values, missing_values should be set to np.nan, since pd.NA will be converted to np.nan.

n_neighbors: int, default=5

Number of neighboring samples to use for imputation.

weights: {‘uniform’, ‘distance’} or callable, default=’uniform’

Weight function used in prediction. Possible values:

• ‘uniform’: uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood are weighted equally.

• ‘distance’: weight points by the inverse of their distance. in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a greater influence than neighbors which are further away.

• callable: a user-defined function which accepts an array of distances, and returns an array of the same shape containing the weights.

metric: {‘nan_euclidean’} or callable, default=’nan_euclidean’

Distance metric for searching neighbors. Possible values:

• ‘nan_euclidean’

• callable: a user-defined function which conforms to the definition of _pairwise_callable(X, Y, metric, **kwds). The function accepts two arrays, X and Y, and a missing_values keyword in kwds and returns a scalar distance value.

copy: bool, default=True

If True, a copy of X will be created. If False, imputation will be done in-place whenever possible.

add_indicator: bool, default=False

If True, a MissingIndicator transform will stack onto the output of the imputer’s transform. This allows a predictive estimator to account for missingness despite imputation. If a feature has no missing values at fit/train time, the feature won’t appear on the missing indicator even if there are missing values at transform/test time.

keep_empty_features: bool, default=False

If True, features that consist exclusively of missing values when fit is called are returned in results when transform is called. The imputed value is always 0.
