Method Detail

getNumClasses

public static scala.Option<Object> getNumClasses(StructField labelSchema)

Examine a schema to identify the number of classes in a label column. Returns None if the number of labels is not specified, or if the label column is continuous.

Parameters:

labelSchema - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

getCategoricalFeatures

public static scala.collection.immutable.Map<Object,Object> getCategoricalFeatures(StructField featuresSchema)

Examine a schema to identify categorical (Binary and Nominal) features.

Parameters:

featuresSchema - Schema of the features column. If a feature does not have metadata, it is assumed to be continuous. If a feature is Nominal, then it must have the number of values specified.

Returns:

Map: feature index to number of categories. The map's set of keys will be the set of categorical feature indices.

getFeatureIndicesFromNames

public static int[] getFeatureIndicesFromNames(StructField col,
                                               String[] names)

Takes a Vector column and a list of feature names, and returns the corresponding list of feature indices in the column, in order.

Parameters:

col - Vector column which must have feature names specified via attributes

names - List of feature names

Returns:

(undocumented)
