Predictor¶

class pyspark.ml.Predictor¶

Estimator for prediction tasks (regression and classification).

Methods

`clear`(param)	Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
`copy`([extra])	Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.
`explainParam`(param)	Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
`explainParams`()	Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
`extractParamMap`([extra])	Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
`fit`(dataset[, params])	Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.
`fitMultiple`(dataset, paramMaps)	Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.
`getFeaturesCol`()	Gets the value of featuresCol or its default value.
`getLabelCol`()	Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.
`getOrDefault`(param)	Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.
`getParam`(paramName)	Gets a param by its name.
`getPredictionCol`()	Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.
`hasDefault`(param)	Checks whether a param has a default value.
`hasParam`(paramName)	Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.
`isDefined`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
`isSet`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
`set`(param, value)	Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
`setFeaturesCol`(value)	Sets the value of `featuresCol`.
`setLabelCol`(value)	Sets the value of `labelCol`.
`setPredictionCol`(value)	Sets the value of `predictionCol`.

Methods Documentation

clear(param: pyspark.ml.param.Param) → None¶: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra: Optional[ParamMap] = None) → P¶

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. The default implementation creates a shallow copy using copy.copy(), and then copies the embedded and extra parameters over and returns the copy. Subclasses should override this method if the default approach is not sufficient.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

Params: Copy of this instance

explainParam(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param]) → str¶: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams() → str¶: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra: Optional[ParamMap] = None) → ParamMap¶

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

fit(dataset: pyspark.sql.dataframe.DataFrame, params: Union[ParamMap, List[ParamMap], Tuple[ParamMap], None] = None) → Union[M, List[M]]¶

Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset.
paramsdict or list or tuple, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params. If a list/tuple of param maps is given, this calls fit on each param map and returns a list of models.

Returns

Transformer or a list of Transformer: fitted model(s)

fitMultiple(dataset: pyspark.sql.dataframe.DataFrame, paramMaps: Sequence[ParamMap]) → Iterator[Tuple[int, M]]¶

Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset.
paramMapscollections.abc.Sequence: A Sequence of param maps.

Returns

_FitMultipleIterator: A thread safe iterable which contains one model for each param map. Each call to next(modelIterator) will return (index, model) where model was fit using paramMaps[index]. index values may not be sequential.

getFeaturesCol() → str¶: Gets the value of featuresCol or its default value.

getLabelCol() → str¶: Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.

getOrDefault(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[T]]) → Union[Any, T]¶: Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getParam(paramName: str) → pyspark.ml.param.Param ¶: Gets a param by its name.

getPredictionCol() → str¶: Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.

hasDefault(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[Any]]) → bool¶: Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName: str) → bool¶: Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[Any]]) → bool¶: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isSet(param: Union[str, pyspark.ml.param.Param[Any]]) → bool¶: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

set(param: pyspark.ml.param.Param, value: Any) → None¶: Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setFeaturesCol(value: str) → P¶: Sets the value of featuresCol.

setLabelCol(value: str) → P¶: Sets the value of labelCol.

setPredictionCol(value: str) → P¶: Sets the value of predictionCol.

Attributes Documentation

featuresCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='featuresCol', doc='features column name.')¶

labelCol: Param[str] = Param(parent='undefined', name='labelCol', doc='label column name.')¶

params¶: Returns all params ordered by name. The default implementation uses dir() to get all attributes of type Param.

predictionCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='predictionCol', doc='prediction column name.')¶
