Scikit-transformers : Scikit-learn + Custom transformers

About

scikit-transformers is a very usefull package to enable and provide custom transformers such as LogColumnTransformer, BoolColumnTransformers and others fancy transformers.

It was created to provide a simple way to use custom transformers in scikit-learn pipelines, and allow to use them in a scikit-learn model, using GridSearchCV for testing and tuning hyperparameters.

The starting point was to provide a simple LogColumnTransformer, which is a simple wrapper around the numpy log function, making possible to use a skew threshold to apply the log transformation only on columns with a skew superior to a given threshold.

With scikit-transformers, it is now possible to use this LogColumnTransformer in transformer in a GridSearchCV using a skew threshold as hyperparameter to find what columns are good to log or not.

LogColumnTransformer is one of the many transformers implemented in scikit-transformers.

Installation

Using regular pip and venv tools :

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install scikit-transformers

Usage

For a very basic usage :

import pandas as pd

from sktransf.trasnformer import LogColumnTransformer

df = pd.DataFrame(
    { "a": range(10),
      "b": range(10)
    }
)

logger = LogColumnTransformer()
logger.fit_transform(df)
df_transf = logger.transform(df)

Using common transformers :

import pandas as pd

from sktransf.transformer import LogColumnTransformer, BoolColumnTransformer
from sktransf.selector import DropUniqueColumnSelector

df = pd.DataFrame(
    { "a": range(10),
      "b": range(10)
    }
)

df_bool = BoolColumnTransformer().fit_transform(df)
df_unique = DropUniqueColumnTransformer().fit_transform(df)
df_logged = LogColumnTransformer().fit_transform(df)

Using a pipeline with a scikit-learn model :

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

from sktransf.transformer import LogColumnTransformer, BoolColumnTransformer
from sktransf.selector import DropUniqueColumnSelector

pipe = Pipeline([
    ('bool', BoolColumnTransformer()),
    ('unique', DropUniqueColumnTransformer()),
    ('log', LogColumnTransformer()),
    ('model', LinearRegression())
])

X = pd.DataFrame(
    { "a": range(10),
      "b": range(10)
    }
)

y = range(10)

pipe.fit(X, y)

y_pred = pipe.predict(X)
