kmedoid-discretizer

Adaptative Kmedoid discretizer for numerical feature engineering.

Description

kmedoid-discretizer (Adaptative Kmedoid discretizer) allows to discritize numerical feature into n_bins using Kmedoids Clustering algrorithm compatible sklearn (Alternative to sklearn KBinsDiscretizer). With this implemenation, we can have:

• A custom number of bins for each numeral feature. Kmedoids will be run for each columns.
• Adapt the number of bins dynamically whenever this one is two high (more precesly when two centroids are assigned to the same data point.)
• Multiple Backends are possible: serial, multiprocessing, and ray to speed up the Kmedoids compuation.
• Mainly use Pandas DataFrame and Numpy array.

Usage

Basic Usage

Here is the Basic use-case data

# Fake training set
X = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({f"feature": [1, 2, 2, 3]})
# Fake Testing set
X_test = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({f"feature": [0, 2, 5]})

Ordinal encoding

discretizer = KmedoidDiscretizer(2)
# discritize X into 2 bins => 1 and 2 will go in bin 0 and 3 in bin 1.
X_discrete = discretizer.fit_transform(X)
print(X_discrete)
# discritize X_test into 2 bins => 0 and 2 will go in bin 0 and 5 in bin 1.
X_test_discrete = discretizer.transform(X_test)
print(X_test_discrete)

   feature
0        0
1        0
2        0
3        1
   feature
0        0
1        0
2        1

Onehot encoding

discretizer = KmedoidDiscretizer(2, encoding="onehot-dense")
# discritize X into 2 bins => 1 and 2 will go in bin 0 and 3 in bin 1.
X_discrete = discretizer.fit_transform(X)
print(X_discrete)
# discritize X_test into 2 bins => 0 and 2 will go in bin 0 and 5 in bin 1.
X_test_discrete = discretizer.transform(X_test)
print(X_test_discrete)

   index    0    1
0      0  1.0  0.0
1      1  1.0  0.0
2      2  1.0  0.0
3      3  0.0  1.0
   index    0    1
0      0  1.0  0.0
