`sklearn.preprocessing`.MinMaxScaler¶

class sklearn.preprocessing.MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1), *, copy=True, clip=False)[source]¶

Transform features by scaling each feature to a given range.

This estimator scales and translates each feature individually such that it is in the given range on the training set, e.g. between zero and one.

The transformation is given by:

X_std = (X - X.min(axis=0)) / (X.max(axis=0) - X.min(axis=0))
X_scaled = X_std * (max - min) + min

where min, max = feature_range.

This transformation is often used as an alternative to zero mean, unit variance scaling.

MinMaxScaler doesn’t reduce the effect of outliers, but it linearly scales them down into a fixed range, where the largest occurring data point corresponds to the maximum value and the smallest one corresponds to the minimum value. For an example visualization, refer to Compare MinMaxScaler with other scalers.

Notes

NaNs are treated as missing values: disregarded in fit, and maintained in transform.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
>>> data = [[-1, 2], [-0.5, 6], [0, 10], [1, 18]]
>>> scaler = MinMaxScaler()
>>> print(scaler.fit(data))
MinMaxScaler()
>>> print(scaler.data_max_)
[ 1. 18.]
>>> print(scaler.transform(data))
[[0.   0.  ]
 [0.25 0.25]
 [0.5  0.5 ]
 [1.   1.  ]]
>>> print(scaler.transform([[2, 2]]))
[[1.5 0. ]]

fit(X, y=None)[source]¶

Compute the minimum and maximum to be used for later scaling.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features): The data used to compute the per-feature minimum and maximum used for later scaling along the features axis.
yNone: Ignored.

Returns:

selfobject: Fitted scaler.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]¶

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)[source]¶

Get output feature names for transformation.

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: Same as input features.

get_metadata_routing()[source]¶

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)[source]¶

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.

inverse_transform(X)[source]¶

Undo the scaling of X according to feature_range.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features): Input data that will be transformed. It cannot be sparse.

Returns:

Xtndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features): Transformed data.

partial_fit(X, y=None)[source]¶

Online computation of min and max on X for later scaling.

All of X is processed as a single batch. This is intended for cases when fit is not feasible due to very large number of n_samples or because X is read from a continuous stream.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features): The data used to compute the mean and standard deviation used for later scaling along the features axis.
yNone: Ignored.

Returns:

selfobject: Fitted scaler.

set_output(*, transform=None)[source]¶

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)[source]¶

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:
