ScipyDist

class ScipyDist(metric=‘euclidean’, p=2, colalign=‘intersect’, var_weights=None, metric_kwargs=None)

Interface to scipy distances.

computes pairwise distances using scipy.spatial.distance.cdist

includes Euclidean distance and p-norm (Minkowski) distance

note: weighted distances are not supported

Parameters

metricstring or function, as in cdist; default = ‘euclidean’

if string, one of: ‘braycurtis’, ‘canberra’, ‘chebyshev’, ‘cityblock’,

‘correlation’, ‘cosine’, ‘dice’, ‘euclidean’, ‘hamming’, ‘jaccard’, ‘jensenshannon’, ‘kulsinski’, ‘mahalanobis’, ‘matching’, ‘minkowski’, ‘rogerstanimoto’, ‘russellrao’, ‘seuclidean’, ‘sokalmichener’, ‘sokalsneath’, ‘sqeuclidean’, ‘yule’

if function, should have signature 1D-np.array x 1D-np.array -> float

p: if metric=’minkowski’, the “p” in “p-norm”, otherwise irrelevant

colalignstring, one of ‘intersect’ (default), ‘force-align’, ‘none’

controls column alignment if X, X2 passed in fit are pd.DataFrame columns between X and X2 are aligned via column names if ‘intersect’, distance is computed on columns occurring both in X and X2,

other columns are discarded; column ordering in X2 is copied from X

if ‘force-align’, raises an error if the set of columns in X, X2 differs;

column ordering in X2 is copied from X

if ‘none’, X and X2 are passed through unmodified (no columns are aligned)

note: this will potentially align “non-matching” columns

var_weights1D np.array of float or None, default=None

weight/scaling vector applied to variables in X/X2 before being passed to cdist, i-th col of X/X2 is multiplied by var_weights[i] if None, equivalent to all-ones vector

metric_kwargsdict, optional, default=None

any kwargs passed to the metric in addition, i.e., to the function cdist common kwargs: “w” : array-like, same length as X.columns, weights for metric refer to scipy.spatial.distance.dist for a documentation of other extra kwargs

classmethod get_test_params(parameter_set=‘default’)

Return testing parameter settings for the estimator.

Parameters

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set. There are currently no reserved values for distance/kernel transformers.

Returns

paramsdict or list of dict, default = {}

Parameters to create testing instances of the class Each dict are parameters to construct an “interesting” test instance, i.e., MyClass(**params) or MyClass(**params[i]) creates a valid test instance. create_test_instance uses the first (or only) dictionary in params

check_is_fitted()

Check if the estimator has been fitted.

Raises

NotFittedError

If the estimator has not been fitted yet.

clone()

Obtain a clone of the object with same hyper-parameters.

A clone is a different object without shared references, in post-init state. This function is equivalent to returning sklearn.clone of self. Equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

Returns

instance of type(self), clone of self (see above)

clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)

clone/mirror tags from another estimator as dynamic override.

Parameters

estimatorestimator inheriting from :class:BaseEstimator

tag_namesstr or list of str, default = None

Names of tags to clone. If None then all tags in estimator are used as tag_names.

Returns

Self 

Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by setting tag values in tag_set from estimator as dynamic tags in self.

classmethod create_test_instance(parameter_set=‘default’)

Construct Estimator instance if possible.

Parameters

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set.

Returns

instanceinstance of the class with default parameters

Notes

get_test_params can return dict or list of dict. This function takes first or single dict that get_test_params returns, and constructs the object with that.

nameslist of str, same length as objs

i-th element is name of i-th instance of obj in tests convention is {cls.__name__}-{i} if more than one instance otherwise {cls.__name__}

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set.

A composite object is an object which contains objects, as parameters. Called on an instance, since this may differ by instance.

Returns

composite: bool, whether self contains a parameter which is BaseObject

classmethod load_from_path(serial)

Load object from file location.

Parameters

serialresult of ZipFile(path).open(“object)

classmethod load_from_serial(serial)

Load object from serialized memory container.

Parameters

serial1st element of output of cls.save(None)

Returns

deserialized self resulting in output serial, of cls.save(None)

reset()

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Equivalent to sklearn.clone but overwrites self. After self.reset() call, self is equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))

Detail behaviour: removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

runs __init__ with current values of hyper-parameters (result of get_params)

Not affected by the reset are: object attributes containing double-underscores class and object methods, class attributes

save(path=None)

Save serialized self to bytes-like object or to (.zip) file.

Behaviour: if path is None, returns an in-memory serialized self if path is a file location, stores self at that location as a zip file

saved files are zip files with following contents: _metadata – contains class of self, i.e., type(self) _obj – serialized self. This class uses the default serialization (pickle).

Parameters

pathNone or file location (str or Path)

if None, self is saved to an in-memory object if file location, self is saved to that file location. If:

path=”estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be made at cwd. path=”/home/stored/estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be stored in /home/stored/.

Returns

if path is None – in-memory serialized self

if path is file location – ZipFile with reference to the file

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this object.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects. The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters

**paramsdict

BaseObject parameters

Returns

selfreference to self (after parameters have been set)

set_tags(**tag_dict)

Set dynamic tags to given values.

Parameters

tag_dictdict

Dictionary of tag name : tag value pairs.

Returns

Self 

Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by settting tag values in tag_dict as dynamic tags in self.

transform(X, X2=None)

Compute distance/kernel matrix.

Behaviour: returns pairwise distance/kernel matrix

between samples in X and X2 (equal to X if not passed)

Parameters

X: pd.DataFrame of length n, or 2D np.array with n rows

X2: pd.DataFrame of length m, or 2D np.array with m rows, optional

default X2 = X

Returns

distmat: np.array of shape [n, m]

(i,j)-th entry contains distance/kernel between X.iloc[i] and X2.iloc[j]
