class RFormula extends Estimator[RFormulaModel] with RFormulaBase with DefaultParamsWritable

Implements the transforms required for fitting a dataset against an R model formula. Currently we support a limited subset of the R operators, including '~', '.', ':', '+', '-', '*' and '^'. Also see the R formula docs here: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/stats/html/formula.html

The basic operators are:

  • ~ separate target and terms
  • + concat terms, "+ 0" means removing intercept
  • - remove a term, "- 1" means removing intercept
  • : interaction (multiplication for numeric values, or binarized categorical values)
  • . all columns except target
  • * factor crossing, includes the terms and interactions between them
  • ^ factor crossing to a specified degree

Suppose a and b are double columns, we use the following simple examples to illustrate the effect of RFormula:

  • y ~ a + b means model y ~ w0 + w1 * a + w2 * b where w0 is the intercept and w1, w2 are coefficients.
  • y ~ a + b + a:b - 1 means model y ~ w1 * a + w2 * b + w3 * a * b where w1, w2, w3 are coefficients.
  • y ~ a * b means model y ~ w0 + w1 * a + w2 * b + w3 * a * b where w0 is the intercept and w1, w2, w3 are coefficients
  • y ~ (a + b)^2 means model y ~ w0 + w1 * a + w2 * b + w3 * a * b where w0 is the intercept and w1, w2, w3 are coefficients

RFormula produces a vector column of features and a double or string column of label. Like when formulas are used in R for linear regression, string input columns will be one-hot encoded, and numeric columns will be cast to doubles. If the label column is of type string, it will be first transformed to double with StringIndexer. If the label column does not exist in the DataFrame, the output label column will be created from the specified response variable in the formula.

    Param for how to order categories of a string FEATURE column used by StringIndexer.

    Param for how to order categories of a string FEATURE column used by StringIndexer. The last category after ordering is dropped when encoding strings. Supported options: 'frequencyDesc', 'frequencyAsc', 'alphabetDesc', 'alphabetAsc'. The default value is 'frequencyDesc'. When the ordering is set to 'alphabetDesc', RFormula drops the same category as R when encoding strings.

    The options are explained using an example 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'c', 'b':

    +-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|      Option     | Category mapped to 0 by StringIndexer |  Category dropped by RFormula    |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| 'frequencyDesc' | most frequent category ('b')          | least frequent category ('c')    |
| 'frequencyAsc'  | least frequent category ('c')         | most frequent category ('b')     |
| 'alphabetDesc'  | last alphabetical category ('c')      | first alphabetical category ('a')|
| 'alphabetAsc'   | first alphabetical category ('a')     | last alphabetical category ('c') |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+

    Note that this ordering option is NOT used for the label column. When the label column is indexed, it uses the default descending frequency ordering in StringIndexer.
