.ColumnTransformer¶
- class sklearn.compose.ColumnTransformer(transformers, *, remainder='drop', sparse_threshold=0.3, n_jobs=None, transformer_weights=None, verbose=False, verbose_feature_names_out=True)[source]¶
Applies transformers to columns of an array or pandas DataFrame.
This estimator allows different columns or column subsets of the input to be transformed separately and the features generated by each transformer will be concatenated to form a single feature space. This is useful for heterogeneous or columnar data, to combine several feature extraction mechanisms or transformations into a single transformer.
Read more in the User Guide.
New in version 0.20.
- Parameters
- transformerslist of tuples
List of (name, transformer, columns) tuples specifying the transformer objects to be applied to subsets of the data.
- namestr
Like in Pipeline and FeatureUnion, this allows the transformer and its parameters to be set using
set_params
and searched in grid search.- transformer{‘drop’, ‘passthrough’} or estimator
Estimator must support fit and transform. Special-cased strings ‘drop’ and ‘passthrough’ are accepted as well, to indicate to drop the columns or to pass them through untransformed, respectively.
- columnsstr, array-like of str, int, array-like of int, array-like of bool, slice or callable
Indexes the data on its second axis. Integers are interpreted as positional columns, while strings can reference DataFrame columns by name. A scalar string or int should be used where
transformer
expects X to be a 1d array-like (vector), otherwise a 2d array will be passed to the transformer. A callable is passed the input dataX
and can return any of the above. To select multiple columns by name or dtype, you can usemake_column_selector
.
- 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 specifyingremainder='passthrough'
, all remaining columns that were not specified intransformers
will be automatically passed through. This subset of columns is concatenated with the output of the transformers. By settingremainder
to be an estimator, the remaining non-specified columns will use theremainder
estimator. The estimator must support fit and transform. Note that using this feature requires that the DataFrame columns input at fit and transform have identical order.- sparse_thresholdfloat, default=0.3
If the output of the different transformers contains sparse matrices, these will be stacked as a sparse matrix if the overall density is lower than this value. Use
sparse_threshold=0
to always return dense. When the transformed output consists of all dense data, the stacked result will be dense, and this keyword will be ignored.- n_jobsint, default=None
Number of jobs to run in parallel.
None
means 1 unless in ajoblib.parallel_backend
context.-1
means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.- transformer_weightsdict, default=None
Multiplicative weights for features per transformer. The output of the transformer is multiplied by these weights. Keys are transformer names, values the weights.
- verbosebool, default=False
If True, the time elapsed while fitting each transformer will be printed as it is completed.
- verbose_feature_names_outbool, default=True
If True,
get_feature_names_out
will prefix all feature names with the name of the transformer that generated that feature. If False,get_feature_names_out
will not prefix any feature names and will error if feature names are not unique.New in version 1.0.
- Attributes
- transformers_list
The collection of fitted transformers as tuples of (name, fitted_transformer, column).
fitted_transformer
can be an estimator, ‘drop’, or ‘passthrough’. In case there were no columns selected, this will be the unfitted transformer. If there are remaining columns, the final element is a tuple of the form: (‘remainder’, transformer, remaining_columns) corresponding to theremainder
parameter. If there are remaining columns, thenlen(transformers_)==len(transformers)+1
, otherwiselen(transformers_)==len(transformers)
.named_transformers_
Bunch
Access the fitted transformer by name.
- sparse_output_bool
Boolean flag indicating whether the output of
transform
is a sparse matrix or a dense numpy array, which depends on the output of the individual transformers and thesparse_threshold
keyword.- output_indices_dict
A dictionary from each transformer name to a slice, where the slice corresponds to indices in the transformed output. This is useful to inspect which transformer is responsible for which transformed feature(s).
New in version 1.0.
- n_features_in_int
Number of features seen during fit. Only defined if the underlying transformers expose such an attribute when fit.
New in version 0.24.

Convenience function for combining the outputs of multiple transformer objects applied to column subsets of the original feature space.
make_column_selector
Convenience function for selecting columns based on datatype or the columns name with a regex pattern.
Notes
The order of the columns in the transformed feature matrix follows the order of how the columns are specified in the
transformers
list. Columns of the original feature matrix that are not specified are dropped from the resulting transformed feature matrix, unless specified in thepassthrough
keyword. Those columns specified withpassthrough
are added at the right to the output of the transformers.Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer >>> from sklearn.preprocessing import Normalizer >>> ct = ColumnTransformer( ... [("norm1", Normalizer(norm='l1'), [0, 1]), ... ("norm2", Normalizer(norm='l1'), slice(2, 4))]) >>> X = np.array([[0., 1., 2., 2.], ... [1., 1., 0., 1.]]) >>> # Normalizer scales each row of X to unit norm. A separate scaling >>> # is applied for the two first and two last elements of each >>> # row independently. >>> ct.fit_transform(X) array([[0. , 1. , 0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5, 0. , 1. ]])
