Class LabelEncoder (0.13.0)

LabelEncoder(
    min_frequency: typing.Optional[int] = None,
    max_categories: typing.Optional[int] = None,
)

Encode target labels with value between 0 and n_classes-1.

This transformer should be used to encode target values, i.e. y, and not the input X.

Parameters

NameDescription
min_frequency Optional[int], default None

Specifies the minimum frequency below which a category will be considered infrequent. Default None. int: categories with a smaller cardinality will be considered infrequent as ßindex 0.

max_categories Optional[int], default None

Specifies an upper limit to the number of output features for each input feature when considering infrequent categories. If there are infrequent categories, max_categories includes the category representing the infrequent categories along with the frequent categories. Default None, set limit to 1,000,000.

Methods

__repr__

__repr__()

fit

fit(
    y: typing.Union[bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame, bigframes.series.Series]
) -> bigframes.ml.preprocessing.LabelEncoder

Parameter
NameDescription
y bigframes.dataframe.DataFrame or bigframes.series.Series

The DataFrame or Series with training data.

Returns
