DFSTransformer

Featuretools DFS component that generates features for the input features.

Contents¶

class evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.preprocessing.featuretools.DFSTransformer(index='index', random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]¶

Featuretools DFS component that generates features for the input features.

Parameters

index (string) – The name of the column that contains the indices. If no column with this name exists, then featuretools.EntitySet() creates a column with this name to serve as the index column. Defaults to ‘index’.
random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

Attributes

hyperparameter_ranges	{}
model_family	ModelFamily.NONE
modifies_features	True
modifies_target	False
name	DFS Transformer

Methods

`clone`	Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.
`default_parameters`	Returns the default parameters for this component.
`describe`	Describe a component and its parameters
`fit`	Fits the DFSTransformer Transformer component.
`fit_transform`	Fits on X and transforms X
`load`	Loads component at file path
`needs_fitting`	Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before
`parameters`	Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component
`save`	Saves component at file path
`transform`	Computes the feature matrix for the input X using featuretools’ dfs algorithm.

clone(self)¶

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

Returns: A new instance of this component with identical parameters and random state.

default_parameters(cls)¶

Returns the default parameters for this component.

Our convention is that Component.default_parameters == Component().parameters.

Returns: default parameters for this component.
Return type: dict

describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False)¶

Describe a component and its parameters

Parameters

print_name (bool, optional) – whether to print name of component
return_dict (bool, optional) – whether to return description as dictionary in the format {“name”: name, “parameters”: parameters}

Returns

prints and returns dictionary

Return type

None or dict

fit(self, X, y=None)[source]¶

Fits the DFSTransformer Transformer component.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame, np.array) – The input data to transform, of shape [n_samples, n_features]
y (pd.Series, np.ndarray, optional) – The target training data of length [n_samples]

Returns

self

fit_transform(self, X, y=None)¶

Fits on X and transforms X

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame) – Data to fit and transform
y (pd.Series) – Target data

Returns

Transformed X

Return type

pd.DataFrame

static load(file_path)¶

Loads component at file path

Parameters: file_path (str) – Location to load file
Returns: ComponentBase object

needs_fitting(self)¶: Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances. This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing.

property parameters(self)¶: Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component

save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL)¶

Saves component at file path

Parameters

file_path (str) – Location to save file
pickle_protocol (int) – The pickle data stream format.

Returns

None

transform(self, X, y=None)[source]¶

Computes the feature matrix for the input X using featuretools’ dfs algorithm.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame or np.ndarray) – The input training data to transform. Has shape [n_samples, n_features]
y (pd.Series, optional) – Ignored.

Returns

Feature matrix

Return type

pd.DataFrame
