zscore
(ds, **kwargs)¶ In-place Z-scoring of a
Dataset
orndarray
.This function behaves identical to
ZScoreMapper
. The only difference is that the actual Z-scoring is done in-place – potentially causing a significant reduction of memory demands.Parameters: ds : Dataset or ndarray
The data that will be Z-scored in-place.
params : None or tuple(mean, std) or dict
Fixed Z-Scoring parameters (mean, standard deviation). If provided, no parameters are estimated from the data. It is possible to specify individual parameters for each chunk by passing a dictionary with the chunk ids as keys and the parameter tuples as values. If None, parameters will be estimated from the training data.
param_est : None or tuple(attrname, attrvalues)
Limits the choice of samples used for automatic parameter estimation to a specific subset identified by a set of a given sample attribute values. The tuple should have the name of that sample attribute as the first element, and a sequence of attribute values as the second element. If None, all samples will be used for parameter estimation.
chunks_attr : str or None
If provided, it specifies the name of a samples attribute in the training data, unique values of which will be used to identify chunks of samples, and to perform individual Z-scoring within them.
dtype : Numpy dtype, optional
Target dtype that is used for upcasting, in case integer data is to be Z-scored.
enable_ca : None or list of str
Names of the conditional attributes which should be enabled in addition to the default ones
disable_ca : None or list of str
Names of the conditional attributes which should be disabled
auto_train : bool
Flag whether the learner will automatically train itself on the input dataset when called untrained.
force_train : bool
Flag whether the learner will enforce training on the input dataset upon every call.
space : str, optional
Name of the ‘processing space’. The actual meaning of this argument heavily depends on the sub-class implementation. In general, this is a trigger that tells the node to compute and store information about the input data that is “interesting” in the context of the corresponding processing in the output dataset.
pass_attr : str, list of str|tuple, optional
Additional attributes to pass on to an output dataset. Attributes can be taken from all three attribute collections of an input dataset (sa, fa, a – see
Dataset.get_attr()
), or from the collection of conditional attributes (ca) of a node instance. Corresponding collection name prefixes should be used to identify attributes, e.g. ‘ca.null_prob’ for the conditional attribute ‘null_prob’, or ‘fa.stats’ for the feature attribute stats. In addition to a plain attribute identifier it is possible to use a tuple to trigger more complex operations. The first tuple element is the attribute identifier, as described before. The second element is the name of the target attribute collection (sa, fa, or a). The third element is the axis number of a multidimensional array that shall be swapped with the current first axis. The fourth element is a new name that shall be used for an attribute in the output dataset. Example: (‘ca.null_prob’, ‘fa’, 1, ‘pvalues’) will take the conditional attribute ‘null_prob’ and store it as a feature attribute ‘pvalues’, while swapping the first and second axes. Simplified instructions can be given by leaving out consecutive tuple elements starting from the end.postproc : Node instance, optional
Node to perform post-processing of results. This node is applied in
__call__()
to perform a final processing step on the to be result dataset. If None, nothing is done.descr : str
Description of the instance
