Pipeline#

class pyspark.ml.Pipeline(*, stages=None)[source]#

A simple pipeline, which acts as an estimator. A Pipeline consists of a sequence of stages, each of which is either an Estimator or a Transformer. When Pipeline.fit() is called, the stages are executed in order. If a stage is an Estimator, its Estimator.fit() method will be called on the input dataset to fit a model. Then the model, which is a transformer, will be used to transform the dataset as the input to the next stage. If a stage is a Transformer, its Transformer.transform() method will be called to produce the dataset for the next stage. The fitted model from a Pipeline is a PipelineModel, which consists of fitted models and transformers, corresponding to the pipeline stages. If stages is an empty list, the pipeline acts as an identity transformer.

Methods

`clear`(param)	Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
`copy`([extra])	Creates a copy of this instance.
`explainParam`(param)	Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
`explainParams`()	Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
`extractParamMap`([extra])	Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
`fit`(dataset[, params])	Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.
`fitMultiple`(dataset, paramMaps)	Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.
`getOrDefault`(param)	Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.
`getParam`(paramName)	Gets a param by its name.
`getStages`()	Get pipeline stages.
`hasDefault`(param)	Checks whether a param has a default value.
`hasParam`(paramName)	Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.
`isDefined`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
`isSet`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
`load`(path)	Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).
`read`()	Returns an MLReader instance for this class.
`save`(path)	Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of 'write().save(path)'.
`set`(param, value)	Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
`setParams`(self, \*[, stages])	Sets params for Pipeline.
`setStages`(value)	Set pipeline stages.
`write`()	Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes

`params`	Returns all params ordered by name.
`stages`

Methods Documentation

clear(param)#: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)[source]#

Creates a copy of this instance.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra parameters

Returns

Pipeline: new instance

explainParam(param)#: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()#: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)#

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

fit(dataset, params=None)#

Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset.
paramsdict or list or tuple, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params. If a list/tuple of param maps is given, this calls fit on each param map and returns a list of models.

Returns

Transformer or a list of Transformer: fitted model(s)

fitMultiple(dataset, paramMaps)#

Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.

New in version 2.3.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset.
paramMapscollections.abc.Sequence: A Sequence of param maps.

Returns

_FitMultipleIterator: A thread safe iterable which contains one model for each param map. Each call to next(modelIterator) will return (index, model) where model was fit using paramMaps[index]. index values may not be sequential.

getOrDefault(param)#: Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getParam(paramName)#: Gets a param by its name.

getStages()[source]#: Get pipeline stages.

New in version 1.3.0.

hasDefault(param)#: Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName)#: Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isSet(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

classmethod load(path)#: Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

classmethod read()[source]#: Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

New in version 2.0.0.

save(path)#: Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)#: Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setParams(self, \*, stages=None)[source]#: Sets params for Pipeline.

New in version 1.3.0.

setStages(value)[source]#

Set pipeline stages.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters

valuelist: of pyspark.ml.Transformer or pyspark.ml.Estimator

Returns

Pipeline: the pipeline instance

write()[source]#: Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

New in version 2.0.0.

Attributes Documentation

params#: Returns all params ordered by name. The default implementation uses dir() to get all attributes of type Param.

stages = Param(parent='undefined', name='stages', doc='a list of pipeline stages')#

uid#: A unique id for the object.
