minCount: Feature Selection Count Mode
Count mode of feature selection used in the feature selection transform selectFeatures.
Usage
minCount(count = 1, ...)
Arguments
count
The threshold for count-based feature selection. A feature is selected if and only if at least count
examples have non-default value in the feature. The default value is 1.
...
Additional arguments to be passed directly to the Microsoft Compute Engine.
Details
When using the count mode in feature selection transform, a feature is selected if the number of examples have at least the specified count examples of non-default values in the feature. The count mode feature selection transform is useful when applied together with a categorical hash transform (see also, categoricalHash. The count feature selection can remove those features generated by hash transform that have no data in the examples.
Value
A character string defining the count mode.
