microsoftml.concat: Concatenates multiple columns into a single vector

Article
03/03/2023

Usage

microsoftml.concat(cols: [dict, list], **kargs)

Description

Combines several columns into a single vector-valued column.

Details

concat creates a single vector-valued column from multiple columns. It can be performed on data before training a model. The concatenation can significantly speed up the processing of data when the number of columns is as large as hundreds to thousands.

Arguments

cols

A character dict or list of variable names to transform. If dict, the keys represent the names of new variables to be created. Note that all the input variables must be of the same type. It is possible to produce multiple output columns with the concatenation transform. In this case, you need to use a list of vectors to define a one-to-one mapping between input and output variables. For example, to concatenate columns InNameA and InNameB into column OutName1 and also columns InNameC and InNameD into column OutName2, use the dict: dict(OutName1 = [InNameA, InNameB], outName2 = [InNameC, InNameD])

kargs

Additional arguments sent to the compute engine.

Returns

An object defining the concatenation transform.

import numpy

import sklearn
from microsoftml import rx_logistic_regression, concat, rx_predict
from microsoftml.datasets.datasets import get_dataset

iris = get_dataset("iris")

if sklearn.__version__ < "0.18":

# The training features.
features = ["Sepal_Length", "Sepal_Width", "Petal_Length", "Petal_Width"]

# The label.
label = "Label"

# microsoftml needs a single dataframe with features and label.
cols = features + [label]

# We split into train/test. y_train, y_test are not used.
data_train, data_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(irisdf[cols], irisdf[label])

# We train a logistic regression.
# A concat transform is added to group features in a single vector column.
multi_logit_out = rx_logistic_regression(
                        formula="Label ~ Features",
                        method="multiClass",
                        data=data_train,
                        ml_transforms=[concat(cols={'Features': features})])
                        
# We show the coefficients.
print(multi_logit_out.coef_)

# We predict.
prediction = rx_predict(multi_logit_out, data=data_test)

print(prediction.head())

Output:

Automatically adding a MinMax normalization transform, use 'norm=Warn' or 'norm=No' to turn this behavior off.
