Parameters

catalog
TransformsCatalog.CategoricalTransforms

The transform catalog.

columns
InputOutputColumnPair[]

The pairs of input and output columns. The output columns' data type will be a vector of Single if outputKind is Bag, Indicator, and Binary. If outputKind is Key, the output columns' data type will be a key in the case of scalar input column or a vector of keys in the case of a vector input column.

outputKind
OneHotEncodingEstimator.OutputKind

Output kind: Bag (multi-set vector), Ind (indicator vector), Key (index), or Binary encoded indicator vector.

maximumNumberOfKeys
Int32

Maximum number of terms to keep per column when auto-training.

keyOrdinality
ValueToKeyMappingEstimator.KeyOrdinality

How items should be ordered when vectorized. If ByOccurrence choosen they will be in the order encountered. If ByValue, items are sorted according to their default comparison, for example, text sorting will be case sensitive (for example, 'A' then 'Z' then 'a').

keyData
IDataView

Specifies an ordering for the encoding. If specified, this should be a single column data view, and the key-values will be taken from that column. If unspecified, the ordering will be determined from the input data upon fitting.

Remarks

If multiple columns are passed to the estimator, all of the columns will be processed in a single pass over the data. Therefore, it is more efficient to specify one estimator with many columns than it is to specify many estimators each with a single column.

inputColumnName
String

Name of column to convert to one-hot vectors. If set to null, the value of the outputColumnName will be used as source. This column's data type can be scalar or vector of numeric, text, boolean, DateTime or DateTimeOffset,

OneHotEncodingEstimator.OutputKind

Output kind: Bag (multi-set vector), Indicator (indicator vector), Key (index), or Binary encoded indicator vector.

maximumNumberOfKeys
Int32

Maximum number of terms to keep per column when auto-training.

keyOrdinality
ValueToKeyMappingEstimator.KeyOrdinality

How items should be ordered when vectorized. If ByOccurrence choosen they will be in the order encountered. If ByValue, items are sorted according to their default comparison, for example, text sorting will be case sensitive (for example, 'A' then 'Z' then 'a').
