SelectType

Selects features based on their type.

This is practical when you want to apply different preprocessing steps to different kinds of features. For instance, a common usecase is to apply a preprocessing.StandardScaler to numeric features and a preprocessing.OneHotEncoder to categorical features.

Parameters

• types (Tuple[type])

  Python types which you want to select. Under the hood, the isinstance method will be used to check if a value is of a given type.

Examples

>>> import numbers
>>> from river import compose
>>> from river import linear_model
>>> from river import preprocessing

>>> num = compose.SelectType(numbers.Number) | preprocessing.StandardScaler()
>>> cat = compose.SelectType(str) | preprocessing.OneHotEncoder()
>>> model = (num + cat) | linear_model.LogisticRegression()

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_one

Update with a set of features x.

A lot of transformers don't actually have to do anything during the learn_one 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_one can override this method.

Parameters

• x (dict)
• kwargs

Returns

Transformer: self

transform_one

Transform a set of features x.

Parameters

• x (dict)

Returns

dict: The transformed values.
