ReciprocalTransformer

class feature_engine.transformation.ReciprocalTransformer(variables=None)

The ReciprocalTransformer() applies the reciprocal transformation 1 / x to numerical variables.

The ReciprocalTransformer() only works with numerical variables with non-zero values. If a variable contains the value 0, the transformer will raise an error.

A list of variables can be passed as an argument. Alternatively, the transformer will automatically select and transform all numerical variables.

More details in the User Guide.

Parameters

variables: list, default=None

The list of numerical variables to transform. If None, the transformer will automatically find and select all numerical variables.

Attributes

variables_:

The group of variables that will be transformed.

feature_names_in_:

List with the names of features seen during fit.

n_features_in_:

The number of features in the train set used in fit.

Methods

fit:	This transformer does not learn parameters.
fit_transform:	Fit to data, then transform it.
get_feature_names_out:	Get output feature names for transformation.
get_params:	Get parameters for this estimator.
set_params:	Set the parameters of this estimator.
inverse_transform:	Convert the data back to the original representation.
transform:	Apply the reciprocal 1 / x transformation.

fit(X, y=None)

This transformer does not learn parameters.

Parameters

X: Pandas DataFrame of shape = [n_samples, n_features].

The training input samples. Can be the entire dataframe, not just the variables to transform.

y: pandas Series, default=None

It is not needed in this transformer. You can pass y or None.

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)

Get output feature names for transformation. In other words, returns the variable names of transformed dataframe.

Parameters

input_featuresarray or list, default=None

This parameter exits only for compatibility with the Scikit-learn pipeline.

• If None, then feature_names_in_ is used as feature names in.

• If an array or list, then input_features must match feature_names_in_.

Returns

feature_names_out: list

Transformed feature names.

rtype

List[Union[str, int]] ..

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.

inverse_transform(X)

Convert the data back to the original representation.

Parameters

X: Pandas DataFrame of shape = [n_samples, n_features]

The data to be transformed.

Returns

X_tr: pandas dataframe

The dataframe with the transformed variables.

rtype

DataFrame ..

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)

Apply the reciprocal 1 / x transformation.

Parameters

X: Pandas DataFrame of shape = [n_samples, n_features]

The data to be transformed.

Returns

X_new: pandas dataframe

The dataframe with the transformed variables.

rtype

DataFrame ..
