sklearn.feature_selection.SelectFwe

class sklearn.feature_selection.SelectFwe(score_func=<function f_classif>, *, alpha=0.05)

Filter: Select the p-values corresponding to Family-wise error rate.

Parameters:

score_funccallable, default=f_classif

Function taking two arrays X and y, and returning a pair of arrays (scores, pvalues). Default is f_classif (see below “See Also”). The default function only works with classification tasks.

alphafloat, default=5e-2

The highest uncorrected p-value for features to keep.

Attributes:

scores_array-like of shape (n_features,)

Scores of features.

pvalues_array-like of shape (n_features,)

p-values of feature scores.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

New in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

New in version 1.0.

Methods

fit(X[, y])	Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.
fit_transform(X[, y])	Fit to data, then transform it.
get_feature_names_out([input_features])	Mask feature names according to selected features.
get_metadata_routing()	Get metadata routing of this object.
get_params([deep])	Get parameters for this estimator.
get_support([indices])	Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected.
inverse_transform(X)	Reverse the transformation operation.
set_output(*[, transform])	Set output container.
set_params(**params)	Set the parameters of this estimator.
transform(X)	Reduce X to the selected features.

fit(X, y=None)

Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or None

The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression). If the selector is unsupervised then y can be set to None.

Returns:

selfobject

Returns the instance itself.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_params and returns a transformed version of X.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Input samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs), default=None

Target values (None for unsupervised transformations).

**fit_paramsdict

Additional fit parameters.

Returns:

X_newndarray array of shape (n_samples, n_features_new)

Transformed array.

get_feature_names_out(input_features=None)

Mask feature names according to selected features.

Parameters:

input_featuresarray-like of str or None, default=None

Input features.

• If input_features is None, then feature_names_in_ is used as feature names in. If feature_names_in_ is not defined, then the following input feature names are generated: ["x0", "x1", ..., "x(n_features_in_ - 1)"].

• If input_features is an array-like, then input_features must match feature_names_in_ if feature_names_in_ is defined.

Returns:

feature_names_outndarray of str objects

Transformed feature names.

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:

routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

get_support(indices=False)

Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected.

Parameters:

indicesbool, default=False

If True, the return value will be an array of integers, rather than a boolean mask.

Returns:

supportarray

An index that selects the retained features from a feature vector. If indices is False, this is a boolean array of shape [# input features], in which an element is True iff its corresponding feature is selected for retention. If indices is True, this is an integer array of shape [# output features] whose values are indices into the input feature vector.

inverse_transform(X)

Reverse the transformation operation.

Parameters:

Xarray of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples.

Returns:

X_rarray of shape [n_samples, n_original_features]

X with columns of zeros inserted where features would have been removed by transform.

set_output(*, transform=None)

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:

transform{“default”, “pandas”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

• "default": Default output format of a transformer

• "pandas": DataFrame output

• "polars": Polars output

• None: Transform configuration is unchanged

New in version 1.4: "polars" option was added.

Returns:

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

Parameters:

**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

transform(X)

Reduce X to the selected features.

Parameters:

Xarray of shape [n_samples, n_features]

The input samples.

Returns:

X_rarray of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples with only the selected features.
