class OneHotEncoder(_BaseEncoder):
"""Encode categorical integer features as a one-hot numeric array.
The input to this transformer should be an array-like of integers or
strings, denoting the values taken on by categorical (discrete) features.
The features are encoded using a one-hot (aka 'one-of-K' or 'dummy')
encoding scheme. This creates a binary column for each category and
returns a sparse matrix or dense array.
By default, the encoder derives the categories based on the unique values
in each feature. Alternatively, you can also specify the `categories`
manually.
The OneHotEncoder previously assumed that the input features take on
values in the range [0, max(values)). This behaviour is deprecated.
This encoding is needed for feeding categorical data to many scikit-learn
estimators, notably linear models and SVMs with the standard kernels.
Note: a one-hot encoding of y labels should use a LabelBinarizer
instead.
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <preprocessing_categorical_features>`.
Parameters
----------
categories : 'auto' or a list of lists/arrays of values, default='auto'.
Categories (unique values) per feature:
- 'auto' : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
- list : ``categories[i]`` holds the categories expected in the ith
column. The passed categories should not mix strings and numeric
values within a single feature, and should be sorted in case of
numeric values.
The used categories can be found in the ``categories_`` attribute.
sparse : boolean, default=True
Will return sparse matrix if set True else will return an array.
dtype : number type, default=np.float
Desired dtype of output.
handle_unknown : 'error' or 'ignore', default='error'.
Whether to raise an error or ignore if an unknown categorical feature
is present during transform (default is to raise). When this parameter
is set to 'ignore' and an unknown category is encountered during
transform, the resulting one-hot encoded columns for this feature
will be all zeros. In the inverse transform, an unknown category
will be denoted as None.
n_values : 'auto', int or array of ints, default='auto'
Number of values per feature.
- 'auto' : determine value range from training data.
- int : number of categorical values per feature.
Each feature value should be in ``range(n_values)``
- array : ``n_values[i]`` is the number of categorical values in
``X[:, i]``. Each feature value should be
in ``range(n_values[i])``
.. deprecated:: 0.20
The `n_values` keyword was deprecated in version 0.20 and will
be removed in 0.22. Use `categories` instead.
categorical_features : 'all' or array of indices or mask, default='all'
Specify what features are treated as categorical.
- 'all': All features are treated as categorical.
- array of indices: Array of categorical feature indices.
- mask: Array of length n_features and with dtype=bool.
Non-categorical features are always stacked to the right of the matrix.
.. deprecated:: 0.20
The `categorical_features` keyword was deprecated in version
0.20 and will be removed in 0.22.
You can use the ``ColumnTransformer`` instead.
Attributes
----------
categories_ : list of arrays
The categories of each feature determined during fitting
(in order of the features in X and corresponding with the output
of ``transform``).
active_features_ : array
Indices for active features, meaning values that actually occur
in the training set. Only available when n_values is ``'auto'``.
.. deprecated:: 0.20
The ``active_features_`` attribute was deprecated in version
0.20 and will be removed in 0.22.
feature_indices_ : array of shape (n_features,)
Indices to feature ranges.
Feature ``i`` in the original data is mapped to features
from ``feature_indices_[i]`` to ``feature_indices_[i+1]``
(and then potentially masked by ``active_features_`` afterwards)
.. deprecated:: 0.20
The ``feature_indices_`` attribute was deprecated in version
0.20 and will be removed in 0.22.
n_values_ : array of shape (n_features,)
Maximum number of values per feature.
.. deprecated:: 0.20
The ``n_values_`` attribute was deprecated in version
0.20 and will be removed in 0.22.
Examples
--------
Given a dataset with two features, we let the encoder find the unique
values per feature and transform the data to a binary one-hot encoding.
>>> from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder
>>> enc = OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
>>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', 2]]
>>> enc.fit(X)
... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
... # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
OneHotEncoder(categorical_features=None, categories=None,
dtype=<... 'numpy.float64'>, handle_unknown='ignore',
n_values=None, sparse=True)
>>> enc.categories_
[array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
>>> enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 4]]).toarray()
array([[1., 0., 1., 0., 0.],
[0., 1., 0., 0., 0.]])
>>> enc.inverse_transform([[0, 1, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0]])
array([['Male', 1],
[None, 2]], dtype=object)
>>> enc.get_feature_names()
array(['x0_Female', 'x0_Male', 'x1_1', 'x1_2', 'x1_3'], dtype=object)
