ft_standard_scaler: Feature Transformation - StandardScaler (Estimator)

In rstudio/sparklyr: R Interface to Apache Spark

Feature Transformation – StandardScaler (Estimator)

Description

Standardizes features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance using column summary statistics on the samples in the training set. The "unit std" is computed using the corrected sample standard deviation, which is computed as the square root of the unbiased sample variance.

Usage

ft_standard_scaler(
  x,
  input_col = NULL,
  output_col = NULL,
  with_mean = FALSE,
  with_std = TRUE,
  uid = random_string("standard_scaler_"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
input_col	The name of the input column.
output_col	The name of the output column.
with_mean	Whether to center the data with mean before scaling. It will build a dense output, so take care when applying to sparse input. Default: FALSE
with_std	Whether to scale the data to unit standard deviation. Default: TRUE
uid	A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
...	Optional arguments; currently unused.

Details

In the case where x is a tbl_spark, the estimator fits against x to obtain a transformer, returning a tbl_spark.

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x. If it is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_estimator or a ml_estimator object. If it is a ml_pipeline, it will return a pipeline with the transformer or estimator appended to it. If a tbl_spark, it will return a tbl_spark with the transformation applied to it.
