VectorSlicer

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorSlicer(*, inputCol: Optional[str] = None, outputCol: Optional[str] = None, indices: Optional[List[int]] = None, names: Optional[List[str]] = None)[source]

This class takes a feature vector and outputs a new feature vector with a subarray of the original features.

The subset of features can be specified with either indices (setIndices()) or names (setNames()). At least one feature must be selected. Duplicate features are not allowed, so there can be no overlap between selected indices and names.

The output vector will order features with the selected indices first (in the order given), followed by the selected names (in the order given).

New in version 1.6.0.

Examples

>>> from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([
...     (Vectors.dense([-2.0, 2.3, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]),),
...     (Vectors.dense([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]),),
...     (Vectors.dense([0.6, -1.1, -3.0, 4.5, 3.3]),)], ["features"])
>>> vs = VectorSlicer(outputCol="sliced", indices=[1, 4])
>>> vs.setInputCol("features")
VectorSlicer...
>>> vs.transform(df).head().sliced
DenseVector([2.3, 1.0])
>>> vectorSlicerPath = temp_path + "/vector-slicer"
>>> vs.save(vectorSlicerPath)
>>> loadedVs = VectorSlicer.load(vectorSlicerPath)
>>> loadedVs.getIndices() == vs.getIndices()
True
>>> loadedVs.getNames() == vs.getNames()
True
>>> loadedVs.transform(df).take(1) == vs.transform(df).take(1)
True

Methods

clear(param)

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy([extra])

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.

explainParam(param)

Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()

Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap([extra])

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

getIndices()

Gets the value of indices or its default value.

getInputCol()

Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

getNames()

Gets the value of names or its default value.

getOrDefault(param)

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.

getOutputCol()

Gets the value of outputCol or its default value.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

hasDefault(param)

Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName)

Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isSet(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

load(path)

Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

read()

Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path)

Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)

Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setIndices(value)

Sets the value of indices.

setInputCol(value)

Sets the value of inputCol.

setNames(value)

Sets the value of names.

setOutputCol(value)

Sets the value of outputCol.

setParams(*[, inputCol, outputCol, indices, …])

setParams(self, *, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, indices=None, names=None): Sets params for this VectorSlicer.

transform(dataset[, params])

Transforms the input dataset with optional parameters.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Methods Documentation

clear(param: pyspark.ml.param.Param) → None

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra: Optional[ParamMap] = None) → JP

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters
extradict, optional

Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns
JavaParams

Copy of this instance

explainParam(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param]) → str

Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams() → str

Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra: Optional[ParamMap] = None) → ParamMap

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters
extradict, optional

extra param values

Returns
dict

merged param map

getIndices() → List[int][source]

Gets the value of indices or its default value.

New in version 1.6.0.

getInputCol() → str

Gets the value of inputCol or its default value.

getNames() → List[str][source]

Gets the value of names or its default value.

New in version 1.6.0.

getOrDefault(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[T]]) → Union[Any, T]

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getOutputCol() → str

Gets the value of outputCol or its default value.

getParam(paramName: str)pyspark.ml.param.Param

Gets a param by its name.

hasDefault(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[Any]]) → bool

Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName: str) → bool

Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[Any]]) → bool

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

classmethod load(path: str) → RL

classmethod read() → pyspark.ml.util.JavaMLReader[RL]

Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path: str) → None

Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.
