-
Convert categorical variable into dummy/indicator variables
Parameters: data : array-like, Series, or DataFrame
prefix : string, list of strings, or dict of strings, default None
String to append DataFrame column namesPass a list with length equal to the number of columnswhen calling get_dummies on a DataFrame. Alternatively, prefixcan be a dictionary mapping column names to prefixes.
prefix_sep : string, default ‘_’
If appending prefix, separator/delimiter to use. Or pass alist or dictionary as with prefix.
dummy_na : bool, default False
Add a column to indicate NaNs, if False NaNs are ignored.
columns : list-like, default None
Column names in the DataFrame to be encoded.If columns is None then all the columns withobject or category dtype will be converted.
sparse : bool, default False
Whether the dummy columns should be sparse or not. ReturnsSparseDataFrame if data is a Series or if all columns are included.Otherwise returns a DataFrame with some SparseBlocks.
drop_first : bool, default False
Whether to get k-1 dummies out of k categorical levels by removing thefirst level.
New in version 0.18.0.
Returns
——-
dummies : DataFrame or SparseDataFrame

离散特征的编码分为两种情况:
1、离散特征的取值之间没有大小的意义,比如color:[red,blue],那么就使用one-hot编码
2、离散特征的取值有大小的意义,比如size:[X,XL,XXL],那么就使用数值的映射{X:1,XL:2,XXL:3}
使用pandas可以很方便的对离散型特征进行one-hot编码
[python] view plain copy
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([
['green', 'M', 10.1, 'class1'],
['red', 'L', 13.5, 'class2'],
['blue', 'XL', 15.3, 'class1']])
df.columns = ['color', 'size', 'prize', 'class label']
size_mapping = {
'XL': 3,
'L': 2,
'M': 1}
df['size'] = df['size'].map(size_mapping)
class_mapping = {label:idx for idx,label in enumerate(set(df['class label']))}
df['class label'] = df['class label'].map(class_mapping)
说明:对于有大小意义的离散特征,直接使用映射就可以了,{'XL':3,'L':2,'M':1}
Using the get_dummies will create a new column for every unique string in a certain column:使用get_dummies进行one-hot编码
[python] view plain copy
pd.get_dummies(df)
