class VectorIndexer extends Estimator[VectorIndexerModel] with VectorIndexerParams with DefaultParamsWritable
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 is greater than or equal to 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.

We check validity for interactions between parameters during

and raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled byParam.validate()
.Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.
