class pyspark.ml.Transformer

Abstract class for transformers that transform one dataset into another.

New in version 1.3.0.

copy(extra=None)

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. The default implementation creates a shallow copy using copy.copy(), and then copies the embedded and extra parameters over and returns the copy. Subclasses should override this method if the default approach is not sufficient.

Parameters

extra – Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

Copy of this instance

explainParam(param)

Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()

Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)

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 < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extra – extra param values

Returns

merged param map

getOrDefault(param)

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

class pyspark.ml.Pipeline(stages=None)

A simple pipeline, which acts as an estimator. A Pipeline consists of a sequence of stages, each of which is either an Estimator or a Transformer. When Pipeline.fit() is called, the stages are executed in order. If a stage is an Estimator, its Estimator.fit() method will be called on the input dataset to fit a model. Then the model, which is a transformer, will be used to transform the dataset as the input to the next stage. If a stage is a Transformer, its Transformer.transform() method will be called to produce the dataset for the next stage. The fitted model from a Pipeline is a PipelineModel, which consists of fitted models and transformers, corresponding to the pipeline stages. If stages is an empty list, the pipeline acts as an identity transformer.

class pyspark.ml.feature.BucketedRandomProjectionLSHModel(java_model=None)

Note

Experimental

Model fitted by BucketedRandomProjectionLSH, where multiple random vectors are stored. The vectors are normalized to be unit vectors and each vector is used in a hash function: \(h_i(x) = floor(r_i \cdot x / bucketLength)\) where \(r_i\) is the i-th random unit vector. The number of buckets will be (max L2 norm of input vectors) / bucketLength.

New in version 2.2.0.

approxNearestNeighbors(dataset, key, numNearestNeighbors, distCol='distCol')

Given a large dataset and an item, approximately find at most k items which have the closest distance to the item. If the outputCol is missing, the method will transform the data; if the outputCol exists, it will use that. This allows caching of the transformed data when necessary.

Note

This method is experimental and will likely change behavior in the next release.

Parameters

• dataset – The dataset to search for nearest neighbors of the key.

• key – Feature vector representing the item to search for.

• numNearestNeighbors – The maximum number of nearest neighbors.

• distCol – Output column for storing the distance between each result row and the key. Use “distCol” as default value if it’s not specified.

Returns

A dataset containing at most k items closest to the key. A column “distCol” is added to show the distance between each row and the key.

approxSimilarityJoin(datasetA, datasetB, threshold, distCol='distCol')

Join two datasets to approximately find all pairs of rows whose distance are smaller than the threshold. If the outputCol is missing, the method will transform the data; if the outputCol exists, it will use that. This allows caching of the transformed data when necessary.

Parameters

• datasetA – One of the datasets to join.

• datasetB – Another dataset to join.

• threshold – The threshold for the distance of row pairs.

• distCol – Output column for storing the distance between each pair of rows. Use “distCol” as default value if it’s not specified.

Returns

A joined dataset containing pairs of rows. The original rows are in columns “datasetA” and “datasetB”, and a column “distCol” is added to show the distance between each pair.

Note

Experimental

Chi-Squared feature selection, which selects categorical features to use for predicting a categorical label. The selector supports different selection methods: numTopFeatures, percentile, fpr, fdr, fwe.

• numTopFeatures chooses a fixed number of top features according to a chi-squared test.

• percentile is similar but chooses a fraction of all features instead of a fixed number.

• fpr chooses all features whose p-values are below a threshold, thus controlling the false positive rate of selection.

• fdr uses the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to choose all features whose false discovery rate is below a threshold.

• fwe chooses all features whose p-values are below a threshold. The threshold is scaled by 1/numFeatures, thus controlling the family-wise error rate of selection.

By default, the selection method is numTopFeatures, with the default number of top features set to 50.

class pyspark.ml.feature.FeatureHasher(numFeatures=262144, inputCols=None, outputCol=None, categoricalCols=None)

Note

Experimental

Feature hashing projects a set of categorical or numerical features into a feature vector of specified dimension (typically substantially smaller than that of the original feature space). This is done using the hashing trick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_hashing) to map features to indices in the feature vector.

The FeatureHasher transformer operates on multiple columns. Each column may contain either numeric or categorical features. Behavior and handling of column data types is as follows:

• Numeric columns:

  For numeric features, the hash value of the column name is used to map the feature value to its index in the feature vector. By default, numeric features are not treated as categorical (even when they are integers). To treat them as categorical, specify the relevant columns in categoricalCols.

• String columns:

  For categorical features, the hash value of the string “column_name=value” is used to map to the vector index, with an indicator value of 1.0. Thus, categorical features are “one-hot” encoded (similarly to using OneHotEncoder with dropLast=false).

• Boolean columns:

  Boolean values are treated in the same way as string columns. That is, boolean features are represented as “column_name=true” or “column_name=false”, with an indicator value of 1.0.

Null (missing) values are ignored (implicitly zero in the resulting feature vector).

Since a simple modulo is used to transform the hash function to a vector index, it is advisable to use a power of two as the numFeatures parameter; otherwise the features will not be mapped evenly to the vector indices.

>>> data = [(2.0, True, "1", "foo"), (3.0, False, "2", "bar")]
>>> cols = ["real", "bool", "stringNum", "string"]
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(data, cols)
>>> hasher = FeatureHasher(inputCols=cols, outputCol="features")
>>> hasher.transform(df).head().features
SparseVector(262144, {174475: 2.0, 247670: 1.0, 257907: 1.0, 262126: 1.0})
>>> hasher.setCategoricalCols(["real"]).transform(df).head().features
SparseVector(262144, {171257: 1.0, 247670: 1.0, 257907: 1.0, 262126: 1.0})

class pyspark.ml.feature.Imputer(strategy='mean', missingValue=nan, inputCols=None, outputCols=None)

Note

Experimental

Imputation estimator for completing missing values, either using the mean or the median of the columns in which the missing values are located. The input columns should be of DoubleType or FloatType. Currently Imputer does not support categorical features and possibly creates incorrect values for a categorical feature.

Note that the mean/median value is computed after filtering out missing values. All Null values in the input columns are treated as missing, and so are also imputed. For computing median, pyspark.sql.DataFrame.approxQuantile() is used with a relative error of 0.001.

>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([(1.0, float("nan")), (2.0, float("nan")), (float("nan"), 3.0),
...                             (4.0, 4.0), (5.0, 5.0)], ["a", "b"])

class pyspark.ml.feature.MinHashLSH(inputCol=None, outputCol=None, seed=None, numHashTables=1)

Note

Experimental

LSH class for Jaccard distance. The input can be dense or sparse vectors, but it is more efficient if it is sparse. For example, Vectors.sparse(10, [(2, 1.0), (3, 1.0), (5, 1.0)]) means there are 10 elements in the space. This set contains elements 2, 3, and 5. Also, any input vector must have at least 1 non-zero index, and all non-zero values are treated as binary “1” values.

Note

Experimental

Model produced by MinHashLSH, where where multiple hash functions are stored. Each hash function is picked from the following family of hash functions, where \(a_i\) and \(b_i\) are randomly chosen integers less than prime: \(h_i(x) = ((x \cdot a_i + b_i) \mod prime)\) This hash family is approximately min-wise independent according to the reference.

New in version 2.2.0.

approxNearestNeighbors(dataset, key, numNearestNeighbors, distCol='distCol')

Given a large dataset and an item, approximately find at most k items which have the closest distance to the item. If the outputCol is missing, the method will transform the data; if the outputCol exists, it will use that. This allows caching of the transformed data when necessary.

Note

This method is experimental and will likely change behavior in the next release.

Parameters

• dataset – The dataset to search for nearest neighbors of the key.

• key – Feature vector representing the item to search for.

• numNearestNeighbors – The maximum number of nearest neighbors.

• distCol – Output column for storing the distance between each result row and the key. Use “distCol” as default value if it’s not specified.

Returns

A dataset containing at most k items closest to the key. A column “distCol” is added to show the distance between each row and the key.

Join two datasets to approximately find all pairs of rows whose distance are smaller than the threshold. If the outputCol is missing, the method will transform the data; if the outputCol exists, it will use that. This allows caching of the transformed data when necessary.

Parameters

• datasetA – One of the datasets to join.

• datasetB – Another dataset to join.

• threshold – The threshold for the distance of row pairs.

• distCol – Output column for storing the distance between each pair of rows. Use “distCol” as default value if it’s not specified.

Returns

A joined dataset containing pairs of rows. The original rows are in columns “datasetA” and “datasetB”, and a column “distCol” is added to show the distance between each pair.

copy(extra=None)

class pyspark.ml.feature.MinMaxScaler(min=0.0, max=1.0, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

Rescale each feature individually to a common range [min, max] linearly using column summary statistics, which is also known as min-max normalization or Rescaling. The rescaled value for feature E is calculated as,

Rescaled(e_i) = (e_i - E_min) / (E_max - E_min) * (max - min) + min

For the case E_max == E_min, Rescaled(e_i) = 0.5 * (max + min)

Note

Since zero values will probably be transformed to non-zero values, output of the transformer will be DenseVector even for sparse input.

class pyspark.ml.feature.OneHotEncoder(dropLast=True, inputCol=None, outputCol=None)

A one-hot encoder that maps a column of category indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value per row that indicates the input category index. For example with 5 categories, an input value of 2.0 would map to an output vector of [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0]. The last category is not included by default (configurable via dropLast) because it makes the vector entries sum up to one, and hence linearly dependent. So an input value of 4.0 maps to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0].

Note

This is different from scikit-learn’s OneHotEncoder, which keeps all categories. The output vectors are sparse.

Note

Deprecated in 2.3.0. OneHotEncoderEstimator will be renamed to OneHotEncoder and this OneHotEncoder will be removed in 3.0.0.

class pyspark.ml.feature.OneHotEncoderEstimator(inputCols=None, outputCols=None, handleInvalid='error', dropLast=True)

A one-hot encoder that maps a column of category indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value per row that indicates the input category index. For example with 5 categories, an input value of 2.0 would map to an output vector of [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0]. The last category is not included by default (configurable via dropLast), because it makes the vector entries sum up to one, and hence linearly dependent. So an input value of 4.0 maps to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0].

Note: This is different from scikit-learn’s OneHotEncoder, which keeps all categories. The output vectors are sparse.

When handleInvalid is configured to ‘keep’, an extra “category” indicating invalid values is added as last category. So when dropLast is true, invalid values are encoded as all-zeros vector.

Note: When encoding multi-column by using inputCols and outputCols params, input/output cols come in pairs, specified by the order in the arrays, and each pair is treated independently.

class pyspark.ml.feature.QuantileDiscretizer(numBuckets=2, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, relativeError=0.001, handleInvalid='error')

Note

Experimental

QuantileDiscretizer takes a column with continuous features and outputs a column with binned categorical features. The number of bins can be set using the numBuckets parameter. It is possible that the number of buckets used will be less than this value, for example, if there are too few distinct values of the input to create enough distinct quantiles.

NaN handling: Note also that QuantileDiscretizer will raise an error when it finds NaN values in the dataset, but the user can also choose to either keep or remove NaN values within the dataset by setting handleInvalid parameter. If the user chooses to keep NaN values, they will be handled specially and placed into their own bucket, for example, if 4 buckets are used, then non-NaN data will be put into buckets[0-3], but NaNs will be counted in a special bucket[4].

Algorithm: The bin ranges are chosen using an approximate algorithm (see the documentation for approxQuantile() for a detailed description). The precision of the approximation can be controlled with the relativeError parameter. The lower and upper bin bounds will be -Infinity and +Infinity, covering all real values.

>>> values = [(0.1,), (0.4,), (1.2,), (1.5,), (float("nan"),), (float("nan"),)]
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(values, ["values"])

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorIndexer(maxCategories=20, inputCol=None, outputCol=None, handleInvalid='error')

Class for indexing categorical feature columns in a dataset of Vector.

This has 2 usage modes:

• Automatically identify categorical features (default behavior)

  • This helps process a dataset of unknown vectors into a dataset with some continuous features and some categorical features. The choice between continuous and categorical is based upon a maxCategories parameter.

  • Set maxCategories to the maximum number of categorical any categorical feature should have.

  • E.g.: Feature 0 has unique values {-1.0, 0.0}, and feature 1 values {1.0, 3.0, 5.0}. If maxCategories = 2, then feature 0 will be declared categorical and use indices {0, 1}, and feature 1 will be declared continuous.

• Index all features, if all features are categorical

  • If maxCategories is set to be very large, then this will build an index of unique values for all features.

  • Warning: This can cause problems if features are continuous since this will collect ALL unique values to the driver.

  • E.g.: Feature 0 has unique values {-1.0, 0.0}, and feature 1 values {1.0, 3.0, 5.0}. If maxCategories >= 3, then both features will be declared categorical.

This returns a model which can transform categorical features to use 0-based indices.

Index stability:

• This is not guaranteed to choose the same category index across multiple runs.

• If a categorical feature includes value 0, then this is guaranteed to map value 0 to index 0. This maintains vector sparsity.

• More stability may be added in the future.

TODO: Future extensions: The following functionality is planned for the future:

• Preserve metadata in transform; if a feature’s metadata is already present, do not recompute.

• Specify certain features to not index, either via a parameter or via existing metadata.

• Add warning if a categorical feature has only 1 category.

Model fitted by VectorIndexer.

Transform categorical features to use 0-based indices instead of their original values.

class pyspark.ml.feature.VectorSlicer(inputCol=None, outputCol=None, indices=None, names=None)

This class takes a feature vector and outputs a new feature vector with a subarray of the original features.

The subset of features can be specified with either indices (setIndices()) or names (setNames()). At least one feature must be selected. Duplicate features are not allowed, so there can be no overlap between selected indices and names.

The output vector will order features with the selected indices first (in the order given), followed by the selected names (in the order given).

>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([
...     (Vectors.dense([-2.0, 2.3, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]),),
...     (Vectors.dense([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]),),

property featureImportances

Estimate of the importance of each feature.

This generalizes the idea of “Gini” importance to other losses, following the explanation of Gini importance from “Random Forests” documentation by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler, and following the implementation from scikit-learn.

This feature importance is calculated as follows:

• importance(feature j) = sum (over nodes which split on feature j) of the gain, where gain is scaled by the number of instances passing through node

• Normalize importances for tree to sum to 1.

Note

Feature importance for single decision trees can have high variance due to correlated predictor variables. Consider using a RandomForestClassifier to determine feature importance instead.

class pyspark.ml.classification.GBTClassifier(featuresCol='features', labelCol='label', predictionCol='prediction', maxDepth=5, maxBins=32, minInstancesPerNode=1, minInfoGain=0.0, maxMemoryInMB=256, cacheNodeIds=False, checkpointInterval=10, lossType='logistic', maxIter=20, stepSize=0.1, seed=None, subsamplingRate=1.0, featureSubsetStrategy='all')

Gradient-Boosted Trees (GBTs) learning algorithm for classification. It supports binary labels, as well as both continuous and categorical features.

The implementation is based upon: J.H. Friedman. “Stochastic Gradient Boosting.” 1999.

Notes on Gradient Boosting vs. TreeBoost: - This implementation is for Stochastic Gradient Boosting, not for TreeBoost. - Both algorithms learn tree ensembles by minimizing loss functions. - TreeBoost (Friedman, 1999) additionally modifies the outputs at tree leaf nodes based on the loss function, whereas the original gradient boosting method does not. - We expect to implement TreeBoost in the future: SPARK-4240

Note

Multiclass labels are not currently supported.

pyspark.ml.clustering module

class pyspark.ml.clustering.BisectingKMeans(featuresCol='features', predictionCol='prediction', maxIter=20, seed=None, k=4, minDivisibleClusterSize=1.0, distanceMeasure='euclidean')

A bisecting k-means algorithm based on the paper “A comparison of document clustering techniques” by Steinbach, Karypis, and Kumar, with modification to fit Spark. The algorithm starts from a single cluster that contains all points. Iteratively it finds divisible clusters on the bottom level and bisects each of them using k-means, until there are k leaf clusters in total or no leaf clusters are divisible. The bisecting steps of clusters on the same level are grouped together to increase parallelism. If bisecting all divisible clusters on the bottom level would result more than k leaf clusters, larger clusters get higher priority.

class pyspark.ml.clustering.GaussianMixture(featuresCol='features', predictionCol='prediction', k=2, probabilityCol='probability', tol=0.01, maxIter=100, seed=None)

GaussianMixture clustering. This class performs expectation maximization for multivariate Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). A GMM represents a composite distribution of independent Gaussian distributions with associated “mixing” weights specifying each’s contribution to the composite.

Given a set of sample points, this class will maximize the log-likelihood for a mixture of k Gaussians, iterating until the log-likelihood changes by less than convergenceTol, or until it has reached the max number of iterations. While this process is generally guaranteed to converge, it is not guaranteed to find a global optimum.

Note

For high-dimensional data (with many features), this algorithm may perform poorly. This is due to high-dimensional data (a) making it difficult to cluster at all (based on statistical/theoretical arguments) and (b) numerical issues with Gaussian distributions.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic model designed for text documents.

Terminology:

• “term” = “word”: an element of the vocabulary

• “token”: instance of a term appearing in a document

• “topic”: multinomial distribution over terms representing some concept

• “document”: one piece of text, corresponding to one row in the input data

Original LDA paper (journal version):

Blei, Ng, and Jordan. “Latent Dirichlet Allocation.” JMLR, 2003.

Input data (featuresCol): LDA is given a collection of documents as input data, via the featuresCol parameter. Each document is specified as a Vector of length vocabSize, where each entry is the count for the corresponding term (word) in the document. Feature transformers such as pyspark.ml.feature.Tokenizer and pyspark.ml.feature.CountVectorizer can be useful for converting text to word count vectors.

assignClusters(dataset)

Run the PIC algorithm and returns a cluster assignment for each input vertex.

Parameters

dataset – A dataset with columns src, dst, weight representing the affinity matrix, which is the matrix A in the PIC paper. Suppose the src column value is i, the dst column value is j, the weight column value is similarity s,,ij,, which must be nonnegative. This is a symmetric matrix and hence s,,ij,, = s,,ji,,. For any (i, j) with nonzero similarity, there should be either (i, j, s,,ij,,) or (j, i, s,,ji,,) in the input. Rows with i = j are ignored, because we assume s,,ij,, = 0.0.

Returns

A dataset that contains columns of vertex id and the corresponding cluster for the id. The schema of it will be: - id: Long - cluster: Int

pyspark.ml.recommendation module

class pyspark.ml.recommendation.ALS(rank=10, maxIter=10, regParam=0.1, numUserBlocks=10, numItemBlocks=10, implicitPrefs=False, alpha=1.0, userCol='user', itemCol='item', seed=None, ratingCol='rating', nonnegative=False, checkpointInterval=10, intermediateStorageLevel='MEMORY_AND_DISK', finalStorageLevel='MEMORY_AND_DISK', coldStartStrategy='nan')

Alternating Least Squares (ALS) matrix factorization.

ALS attempts to estimate the ratings matrix R as the product of two lower-rank matrices, X and Y, i.e. X * Yt = R. Typically these approximations are called ‘factor’ matrices. The general approach is iterative. During each iteration, one of the factor matrices is held constant, while the other is solved for using least squares. The newly-solved factor matrix is then held constant while solving for the other factor matrix.

This is a blocked implementation of the ALS factorization algorithm that groups the two sets of factors (referred to as “users” and “products”) into blocks and reduces communication by only sending one copy of each user vector to each product block on each iteration, and only for the product blocks that need that user’s feature vector. This is achieved by pre-computing some information about the ratings matrix to determine the “out-links” of each user (which blocks of products it will contribute to) and “in-link” information for each product (which of the feature vectors it receives from each user block it will depend on). This allows us to send only an array of feature vectors between each user block and product block, and have the product block find the users’ ratings and update the products based on these messages.

For implicit preference data, the algorithm used is based on “Collaborative Filtering for Implicit Feedback Datasets”,, adapted for the blocked approach used here.

Essentially instead of finding the low-rank approximations to the rating matrix R, this finds the approximations for a preference matrix P where the elements of P are 1 if r > 0 and 0 if r <= 0. The ratings then act as ‘confidence’ values related to strength of indicated user preferences rather than explicit ratings given to items.

property featureImportances

Estimate of the importance of each feature.

This feature importance is calculated as follows:

• importance(feature j) = sum (over nodes which split on feature j) of the gain, where gain is scaled by the number of instances passing through node

• Normalize importances for tree to sum to 1.

Note

Feature importance for single decision trees can have high variance due to correlated predictor variables. Consider using a RandomForestRegressor to determine feature importance instead.

Generalized Linear Regression.

Fit a Generalized Linear Model specified by giving a symbolic description of the linear predictor (link function) and a description of the error distribution (family). It supports “gaussian”, “binomial”, “poisson”, “gamma” and “tweedie” as family. Valid link functions for each family is listed below. The first link function of each family is the default one.

• “gaussian” -> “identity”, “log”, “inverse”

• “binomial” -> “logit”, “probit”, “cloglog”

• “poisson” -> “log”, “identity”, “sqrt”

• “gamma” -> “inverse”, “identity”, “log”

• “tweedie” -> power link function specified through “linkPower”. The default link power in the tweedie family is 1 - variancePower.

class pyspark.ml.regression.LinearRegression(featuresCol='features', labelCol='label', predictionCol='prediction', maxIter=100, regParam=0.0, elasticNetParam=0.0, tol=1e-06, fitIntercept=True, standardization=True, solver='auto', weightCol=None, aggregationDepth=2, loss='squaredError', epsilon=1.35)

Linear regression.

The learning objective is to minimize the specified loss function, with regularization. This supports two kinds of loss:

• squaredError (a.k.a squared loss)

• huber (a hybrid of squared error for relatively small errors and absolute error for relatively large ones, and we estimate the scale parameter from training data)

This supports multiple types of regularization:

• none (a.k.a. ordinary least squares)

• L2 (ridge regression)

• L1 (Lasso)

• L2 + L1 (elastic net)

Note: Fitting with huber loss only supports none and L2 regularization.

For Spearman, a rank correlation, we need to create an RDD[Double] for each column and sort it in order to retrieve the ranks and then join the columns back into an RDD[Vector], which is fairly costly. Cache the input Dataset before calling corr with method = ‘spearman’ to avoid recomputing the common lineage.

New in version 2.2.0.
