minCount: Feature Selection Count Mode

Artikel
02/28/2023

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.
