class skopt.space.transformers.CategoricalEncoder[source][source]¶

OneHotEncoder that can handle categorical variables.

Methods

fit(X)	Fit a list or array of categories.
inverse_transform(Xt)	Inverse transform one-hot encoded categories back to their original
transform(X)	Transform an array of categories to a one-hot encoded representation.

__init__()[source][source]¶

Convert labeled categories into one-hot encoded features.

fit(X)[source][source]¶

Fit a list or array of categories.

Parameters

Xarray-like, shape=(n_categories,)

List of categories.

inverse_transform(Xt)[source][source]¶

Inverse transform one-hot encoded categories back to their original

representation.

Parameters

Xtarray-like, shape=(n_samples, n_categories)

One-hot encoded categories.

Returns

Xarray-like, shape=(n_samples,)

The original categories.

transform(X)[source][source]¶

Transform an array of categories to a one-hot encoded representation.

Parameters

Xarray-like, shape=(n_samples,)

List of categories.

Returns

Xtarray-like, shape=(n_samples, n_categories)
