Methods

fit(data[, key, features, label, ...])

Fit the model to the training dataset.

predict(data[, key, features, thread_ratio, ...])

Prediction for the input data with the trained FFMClassifier model.
fit(data, key=None, features=None, label=None, categorical_variable=None, delimiter=None)

Fit the model to the training dataset.

Parameters:
dataDataFrame

Data to be fit.

keystr, optional

Name of the ID column.

If key is not provided, then:

  • if data is indexed by a single column, then key defaults to that index column;

  • otherwise, it is assumed that data contains no ID column.

featuresstr or a list of str optional

Name of the feature columns.

delimiterstr, optional

The delimiter to separate string features.

For example, "China, USA" indicates two feature values "China" and "USA".

Default to ','.

labelstr, optional

Specifies the dependent variable.

For classification, the label column can be any kind of data type.

Default to last column name.

categorical_variablestr or a list of str optional

Indicates whether or not a column data is actually corresponding to a category variable even the data type of this column is INTEGER.

By default, 'VARCHAR' or 'NVARCHAR' is category variable, and 'INTEGER' or 'DOUBLE' is continuous variable.

Returns:
A fitted object of class "FFMClassifier".
predict(data, key=None, features=None, thread_ratio=None, handle_missing=None)

Prediction for the input data with the trained FFMClassifier model.

Parameters:
dataDataFrame

Data to be fit.

keystr, optional

Name of the ID column.

Mandatory if data is not indexed, or the index of data contains multiple columns.

Defaults to the single index column of data if not provided.

featuresstr or a list of str optional

Global side features column name in the training dataframe.

thread_ratiofloat, optional

Adjusts the percentage of available threads to use, from 0 to 1. A value of 0 indicates the use of a single thread, while 1 implies the use of all possible current threads. Values outside the range will be ignored and this function heuristically determines the number of threads to use.

Default to -1.

handle_missingstr, optional

Specifies how to handle missing feature:

  • 'skip': skip rows with missing values.

  • 'fill_zero': replace missing values with 0.

Default to 'fill_zero'.

Returns:
DataFrame

Prediction result, structured as follows:

  • 1st column : ID

  • 2nd column : SCORE, i.e. predicted class labels

  • 3rd column : CONFIDENCE, the confidence for assigning class labels.
