Select¶
Selects features.
This can be used in a pipeline when you want to select certain features. The transform_one
method is pure, and therefore returns a fresh new dictionary instead of filtering the specified keys from the input.
Parameters¶
-
keys (Tuple[Hashable])
Key(s) to keep.
Examples¶
>>> from river import compose
>>> x = {'a': 42, 'b': 12, 'c': 13}
>>> compose.Select('c').transform_one(x)
{'c': 13}
You can chain a selector with any estimator in order to apply said estimator to the desired features.
>>> from river import feature_extraction as fx
>>> x = {'sales': 10, 'shop': 'Ikea', 'country': 'Sweden'}
>>> pipeline = (
... compose.Select('sales') |
... fx.PolynomialExtender()
... )
>>> pipeline.transform_one(x)
{'sales': 10, 'sales*sales': 100}
This transformer also supports mini-batch processing:
>>> import random
>>> from river import compose
>>> random.seed(42)
>>> X = [{"x_1": random.uniform(8, 12), "x_2": random.uniform(8, 12)} for _ in range(6)]
>>> for x in X:
... print(x)
{'x_1': 10.557707193831535, 'x_2': 8.100043020890668}
{'x_1': 9.100117273476478, 'x_2': 8.892842952595291}
{'x_1': 10.94588485665605, 'x_2': 10.706797949691644}
{'x_1': 11.568718270819382, 'x_2': 8.347755330517664}
{'x_1': 9.687687278741082, 'x_2': 8.119188877752281}
{'x_1': 8.874551899214413, 'x_2': 10.021421152413449}
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> X = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(X)
You can then call transform_many
to transform a mini-batch of features:
>>> compose.Select('x_2').transform_many(X)
x_2
0 8.100043
1 8.892843
2 10.706798
3 8.347755
4 8.119189
5 10.021421
Methods¶
clone
Return a fresh estimator with the same parameters.
The clone has the same parameters but has not been updated with any data. This works by looking at the parameters from the class signature. Each parameter is either - recursively cloned if it's a River classes. - deep-copied via copy.deepcopy
if not. If the calling object is stochastic (i.e. it accepts a seed parameter) and has not been seeded, then the clone will not be idempotent. Indeed, this method's purpose if simply to return a new instance with the same input parameters.
learn_many
Update with a mini-batch of features.
A lot of transformers don't actually have to do anything during the learn_many
step because they are stateless. For this reason the default behavior of this function is to do nothing. Transformers that however do something during the learn_many
can override this method.
Parameters
- X (pandas.core.frame.DataFrame)
- kwargs
Returns
Transformer: self
learn_one
Update with a set of features x
.

Parameters

Parameters
- X (pandas.core.frame.DataFrame)
