I have a 50 columns, categorical dataset. Among them only 5 columns are numerical. I would like to apply label encoder to make the categorical columns to numerical columns. Categorical columns are basically nominal columns for my dataset. I need to convert columns 0 to 4 to numerical and column 9 to 50 to numerical values.
I used the command
le = LabelEncoder()
df.iloc[:,0:4]=le.fit_transform(df.iloc[:,0:4])
df is the name of the dataframe.
error : ValueError: y should be a 1d array
How could I fix this problem? Thank you.
use .apply() method of DataFrame to apply some rule to columns/rows.
In your particular case it will be smth like this: df.apply(le.fit_transform) (notice that you need to add .iloc here)

I am reading in a large dataframe that is throwing a DtypeWarning: Columns (I understand this warning) but am struggling to prevent it (I don't want to set low_memory to False as I would like to specify the correct dtypes.
For every columns, the majority of rows are float values and the last 3 rows are string (metadata basically, information about each column). I understand that I can set the dtype per column when reading in the csv, however I do not know how to change rows 1:n to be float32 for example and the last 3 rows to be strings. I would like to avoid reading in two separate CSVs. The resulting dtype of all columns after reading in the dataframe is 'object'. Below is a reproducible example. The dtype warning is not thrown when reading in i am guessing because of the size of the dataframe - however the result is exactly the same as the problem i am facing. i would like to make the first 3 rows float32 and the last 3 string so that they are the correct dtype. thank you!
reproducible example:
df = pd.DataFrame([[0.1, 0.2,0.3],[0.1, 0.2,0.3],[0.1, 0.2,0.3],
['info1', 'info2','info3'],['info1', 'info2','info3'],['info1', 'info2','info3']],
index=['index1', 'index2', 'index3', 'info1', 'info2', 'info3'],
columns=['column1', 'column2', 'column3'] )
df.to_csv('test.csv')
df1 = pd.read_csv('test.csv', index_col=0)
I am trying to build a random forest classifier to determine the 'type' of an object based on different attributes. I am having trouble understanding iloc and separating the predictors from the classification. If the 50th column is the 'type' column, I am wondering why the iloc (commented out) line does not work, but the line y = dataset["type"] does. I have attached the code below. Thank you!
X = dataset.iloc[:, 0:50].values
y = dataset["type"]
#y = dataset.iloc[:,50].values
Let's assume that the first column in your dataframe is named "0" and the following columns are named consequently. Like the result of the following lines
last_col=50
tab=pd.DataFrame([[x for x in range(last_col)] for c in range(10)])
now, please try tab.iloc[:,0:50] - it will work because you used slice to select columns indexes.
But if you try tab.iloc[:,50] - it will not work, because there is no column with index 50.
Slicing and selecting column by its index is just a bit different. From pandas documentation:
.iloc[] is primarily integer position based (from 0 to length-1 of the axis)
I hope this help.
I have got a pandas dataframe which looks like the following:
df.head()
categorized.Hashtags
0 icietmaintenant supyoga standuppaddleportugal ...
1 instapaysage bretagne labellebretagne bretagne...
2 bretagne lescrepescestlavie quimper bzh labret...
3 bretagne mer paysdiroise magnifique phare plou...
4 bateaux baiededouarnenez voiliers vieuxgreemen..
Now instead of using pandas get_dummmies() command I would like to use CountVectorizer to create the same output. Because get_dummies takes too much time.
df_x = df["categorized.Hashtags"]
vect = CountVectorizer(min_df=0.,max_df=1.0)
X = vect.fit_transform(df_x)
count_vect_df = pd.DataFrame(X.todense(), columns = vect.get_feature_names())
When I now output the respective data frame "count_vect_df" then the data frame contains a lot of columns which are empty/ contains only zero values. How can I avoid this?
Cheers,
Andi
From scikit-learn CountVectorizer docs:
Convert a collection of text documents to a matrix of token counts
This implementation produces a sparse representation of the counts
using scipy.sparse.csr_matrix.
The CountVectorizer returns a sparse-matrix, which contains most of zero values, where non-zero values represent the number of times that specific term has appeared in the particular document.
I have n-dataframe in a list
df=[df_1, df_2, df_3, ...., df_n]
Where df_n is a dataframe in pandas (python). df_n is a variable of my keras-model.
X_train=[df_1_1,df_2_1,...,df_n_1]
Where:
df_1_1 is the first dataframe of the list (the first variable) and the first columns of this dataframe, his dataframe has m columns.
Each column of this dataframe if this variable applies a different type of smoothing or filter.
I have 100 column in each dataframe and I want to select the combination of columns (of different dataframes), the X_train than have min value in the score of my model.
score = model.evaluate(X_test,Y_test)
X_test and Y_test are the last n occurrences of the selected columns.
There some library for selected this columns (neuronal networks, GA, colony ant, ...)?
How can I implement it?
What is your prediction task? Do you need a neural network or not? You are essentially looking at a feature selection problem here. You could use simpler models such as the lasso which will select columns using L1-regularization. Or you could use an ensembling technique such as random forests and consider the relative feature importances to select your columns. Perhaps have a look at scikit-learn.
I am trying to prepare data for supervised learning. I have my Tfidf data, which was generated from a column in my dataframe called "merged"
vect = TfidfVectorizer(stop_words='english', use_idf=True, min_df=50, ngram_range=(1,2))
X = vect.fit_transform(merged['kws_name_desc'])
print X.shape
print type(X)
(57629, 11947)
<class 'scipy.sparse.csr.csr_matrix'>
But I also need to add additional columns to this matrix. For each document in the TFIDF matrix, I have a list of additional numeric features. Each list is length 40 and it's comprised of floats.
So for clarify, I have 57,629 lists of length 40 which I'd like to append on to my TDIDF result.
Currently, I have this in a DataFrame, example data: merged["other_data"]. Below is an example row from the merged["other_data"]
0.4329597715,0.3637511039,0.4893141843,0.35840...
How can I append the 57,629 rows of my dataframe column with the TF-IDF matrix? I honestly don't know where to begin and would appreciate any pointers/guidance.
This will do the work.
`df1 = pd.DataFrame(X.toarray()) //Convert sparse matrix to array
df2 = YOUR_DF of size 57k x 40
newDf = pd.concat([df1, df2], axis = 1)`//newDf is the required dataframe
I figured it out:
First: iterate over my pandas column and create a list of lists
for_np = []
for x in merged['other_data']:
row = x.split(",")
row2 = map(float, row)
for_np.append(row2)
Then create a np array:
n = np.array(for_np)
Then use scipy.sparse.hstack on X (my original tfidf sparse matrix and my new matrix. I'll probably end-up reweighting these 40-d vectors if they do not improve the classification results, but this approach worked!
import scipy.sparse
X = scipy.sparse.hstack([X, n])
You could have a look at the answer to this question:
use Featureunion in scikit-learn to combine two pandas columns for tfidf
Obviously, the anwers given should work, but as soon as you want your classifier to make predictions, you definitely want to work with pipelines and feature unions.
