A list of (hyper-)parameter keys this algorithm can take. Users can set and get the parameter values through setters and getters, respectively.
Param for features column name.
Param for features column name.
Force to index label whether it is numeric or string type.
Force to index label whether it is numeric or string type. Usually we index label only when it is string type. If the formula was used by classification algorithms, we can force to index label even it is numeric type by setting this param with true. Default: false.
R formula parameter.
R formula parameter. The formula is provided in string form.
Param for how to handle invalid data (unseen or NULL values) in features and label column of string type.
Param for how to handle invalid data (unseen or NULL values) in features and label column of string type. Options are 'skip' (filter out rows with invalid data), 'error' (throw an error), or 'keep' (put invalid data in a special additional bucket, at index numLabels). Default: "error"
Param for label column name.
Param for label column name.
Param for how to order categories of a string FEATURE column used by StringIndexer
.
Param for how to order categories of a string FEATURE column used by StringIndexer
.
The last category after ordering is dropped when encoding strings.
Supported options: 'frequencyDesc', 'frequencyAsc', 'alphabetDesc', 'alphabetAsc'.
The default value is 'frequencyDesc'. When the ordering is set to 'alphabetDesc', RFormula
drops the same category as R when encoding strings.
The options are explained using an example 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'c', 'b'
:
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Option | Category mapped to 0 by StringIndexer | Category dropped by RFormula | +-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | 'frequencyDesc' | most frequent category ('b') | least frequent category ('c') | | 'frequencyAsc' | least frequent category ('c') | most frequent category ('b') | | 'alphabetDesc' | last alphabetical category ('c') | first alphabetical category ('a')| | 'alphabetAsc' | first alphabetical category ('a') | last alphabetical category ('c') | +-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
Note that this ordering option is NOT used for the label column. When the label column is
indexed, it uses the default descending frequency ordering in StringIndexer
.

extractParamMap
with no extra values.
Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values less than user-supplied values less than extra.

Fits a model to the input data.
Fits multiple models to the input data with multiple sets of parameters.
Fits multiple models to the input data with multiple sets of parameters. The default implementation uses a for loop on each parameter map. Subclasses could override this to optimize multi-model training.

Returns all params sorted by their names.
Returns all params sorted by their names. The default implementation uses Java reflection to list all public methods that have no arguments and return Param.
Developer should not use this method in constructor because we cannot guarantee that this variable gets initialized before other params.

Check transform validity and derive the output schema from the input schema.
We check validity for interactions between parameters during transformSchema
and
raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which
do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate()
.
Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.

an R formula in string form (e.g. "y ~ x + z")
Implements the transforms required for fitting a dataset against an R model formula. Currently we support a limited subset of the R operators, including '~', '.', ':', '+', and '-'. Also see the R formula docs here: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/stats/html/formula.html
The basic operators are:
~
separate target and terms+
concat terms, "+ 0" means removing intercept-
remove a term, "- 1" means removing intercept:
interaction (multiplication for numeric values, or binarized categorical values).
all columns except targetSuppose
a
andb
are double columns, we use the following simple examples to illustrate the effect ofRFormula
:y ~ a + b
means modely ~ w0 + w1 * a + w2 * b
wherew0
is the intercept andw1, w2
are coefficients.y ~ a + b + a:b - 1
means modely ~ w1 * a + w2 * b + w3 * a * b
wherew1, w2, w3
are coefficients.RFormula produces a vector column of features and a double or string column of label. Like when formulas are used in R for linear regression, string input columns will be one-hot encoded, and numeric columns will be cast to doubles. If the label column is of type string, it will be first transformed to double with
StringIndexer
. If the label column does not exist in the DataFrame, the output label column will be created from the specified response variable in the formula.
