Feature Transformation – PolynomialExpansion (Transformer)

R/ml_feature_polynomial_expansion.R

ft_polynomial_expansion

Description

Perform feature expansion in a polynomial space. E.g. take a 2-variable feature vector as an example: (x, y), if we want to expand it with degree 2, then we get (x, x * x, y, x * y, y * y).

Usage

ft_polynomial_expansion( 
  x, 
  input_col = NULL, 
  output_col = NULL, 
  degree = 2, 
  uid = random_string("polynomial_expansion_"), 
  ... 
)

Arguments

Arguments Description
x A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
input_col The name of the input column.
output_col The name of the output column.
degree The polynomial degree to expand, which should be greater than equal to 1. A value of 1 means no expansion. Default: 2
uid A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
… Optional arguments; currently unused.

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x.

  • spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_transformer, a ml_estimator, or one of their subclasses. The object contains a pointer to a Spark Transformer or Estimator object and can be used to compose Pipeline objects.

  • ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with the transformer or estimator appended to the pipeline.

  • tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a transformer is constructed then immediately applied to the input tbl_spark, returning a tbl_spark
