sklearn.compose.make_column_transformer

sklearn.compose.make_column_transformer(*transformers, **kwargs)

Construct a ColumnTransformer from the given transformers.

This is a shorthand for the ColumnTransformer constructor; it does not require, and does not permit, naming the transformers. Instead, they will be given names automatically based on their types. It also does not allow weighting with transformer_weights.

Parameters:

*transformers : tuples of transformers and column selections

remainder : {‘drop’, ‘passthrough’} or estimator, default ‘drop’

By default, only the specified columns in transformers are transformed and combined in the output, and the non-specified columns are dropped. (default of 'drop'). By specifying remainder='passthrough', all remaining columns that were not specified in transformers will be automatically passed through. This subset of columns is concatenated with the output of the transformers. By setting remainder to be an estimator, the remaining non-specified columns will use the remainder estimator. The estimator must support fit and transform.

sparse_threshold : float, default = 0.3

If the transformed output consists of a mix of sparse and dense data, it will be stacked as a sparse matrix if the density is lower than this value. Use sparse_threshold=0 to always return dense. When the transformed output consists of all sparse or all dense data, the stacked result will be sparse or dense, respectively, and this keyword will be ignored.

n_jobs : int or None, optional (default=None)

Number of jobs to run in parallel. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

Returns:

ct : ColumnTransformer

Class that allows combining the outputs of multiple transformer objects used on column subsets of the data into a single feature space.
