Binarizer (original) (raw)

class sklearn.preprocessing.Binarizer(*, threshold=0.0, copy=True)[source]#

Binarize data (set feature values to 0 or 1) according to a threshold.

Values greater than the threshold map to 1, while values less than or equal to the threshold map to 0. With the default threshold of 0, only positive values map to 1.

Binarization is a common operation on text count data where the analyst can decide to only consider the presence or absence of a feature rather than a quantified number of occurrences for instance.

It can also be used as a pre-processing step for estimators that consider boolean random variables (e.g. modelled using the Bernoulli distribution in a Bayesian setting).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

thresholdfloat, default=0.0

Feature values below or equal to this are replaced by 0, above it by 1. Threshold may not be less than 0 for operations on sparse matrices.

copybool, default=True

Set to False to perform inplace binarization and avoid a copy (if the input is already a numpy array or a scipy.sparse CSR matrix).

Attributes:

**n_features_in_**int

Number of features seen during fit.

Added in version 0.24.

**feature_names_in_**ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when Xhas feature names that are all strings.

Added in version 1.0.

Notes

If the input is a sparse matrix, only the non-zero values are subject to update by the Binarizer class.

This estimator is stateless and does not need to be fitted. However, we recommend to call fit_transform instead oftransform, as parameter validation is only performed infit.

Examples

from sklearn.preprocessing import Binarizer X = [[ 1., -1., 2.], ... [ 2., 0., 0.], ... [ 0., 1., -1.]] transformer = Binarizer().fit(X) # fit does nothing. transformer Binarizer() transformer.transform(X) array([[1., 0., 1.], [1., 0., 0.], [0., 1., 0.]])

fit(X, y=None)[source]#

Only validates estimator’s parameters.

This method allows to: (i) validate the estimator’s parameters and (ii) be consistent with the scikit-learn transformer API.

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The data.

yNone

Ignored.

Returns:

selfobject

Fitted transformer.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]#

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_paramsand returns a transformed version of X.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Input samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs), default=None

Target values (None for unsupervised transformations).

**fit_paramsdict

Additional fit parameters.

Returns:

X_newndarray array of shape (n_samples, n_features_new)

Transformed array.

get_feature_names_out(input_features=None)[source]#

Get output feature names for transformation.

Parameters:

input_featuresarray-like of str or None, default=None

Input features.

• If input_features is None, then feature_names_in_ is used as feature names in. If feature_names_in_ is not defined, then the following input feature names are generated:["x0", "x1", ..., "x(n_features_in_ - 1)"].
• If input_features is an array-like, then input_features must match feature_names_in_ if feature_names_in_ is defined.

Returns:

feature_names_outndarray of str objects

Same as input features.

get_metadata_routing()[source]#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:

routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)[source]#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

set_output(*, transform=None)[source]#

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output APIfor an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:

transform{“default”, “pandas”, “polars”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

• "default": Default output format of a transformer
• "pandas": DataFrame output
• "polars": Polars output
• None: Transform configuration is unchanged

Added in version 1.4: "polars" option was added.

Returns:

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_params(**params)[source]#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters:

**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_transform_request(*, copy: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → Binarizer[source]#

Request metadata passed to the transform method.

Note that this method is only relevant ifenable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to transform if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
• False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to transform.
• None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
• str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside aPipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:

copystr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for copy parameter in transform.

Returns:

selfobject

The updated object.

transform(X, copy=None)[source]#

Binarize each element of X.

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The data to binarize, element by element. scipy.sparse matrices should be in CSR format to avoid an un-necessary copy.

copybool

Copy the input X or not.

Returns:

X_tr{ndarray, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Transformed array.
