<h2 id="tf-idf-hashingtf-and-idf">TF-IDF (HashingTF and IDF)</h2>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf%E2%80%93idf">Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF)</a> is a common text pre-processing step.  In Spark ML, TF-IDF is separate into two parts: TF (+hashing) and IDF.</p>

<p><strong>TF</strong>: <code>HashingTF</code> is a <code>Transformer</code> which takes sets of terms and converts those sets into fixed-length feature vectors.  In text processing, a &#8220;set of terms&#8221; might be a bag of words.
The algorithm combines Term Frequency (TF) counts with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_hashing">hashing trick</a> for dimensionality reduction.</p>

<p><strong>IDF</strong>: <code>IDF</code> is an <code>Estimator</code> which fits on a dataset and produces an <code>IDFModel</code>.  The <code>IDFModel</code> takes feature vectors (generally created from <code>HashingTF</code>) and scales each column.  Intuitively, it down-weights columns which appear frequently in a corpus.</p>

<p>Please refer to the <a href="mllib-feature-extraction.html#tf-idf">MLlib user guide on TF-IDF</a> for more details on Term Frequency and Inverse Document Frequency.</p>

<p>In the following code segment, we start with a set of sentences.  We split each sentence into words using <code>Tokenizer</code>.  For each sentence (bag of words), we use <code>HashingTF</code> to hash the sentence into a feature vector.  We use <code>IDF</code> to rescale the feature vectors; this generally improves performance when using text as features.  Our feature vectors could then be passed to a learning algorithm.</p>

<h2 id="word2vec">Word2Vec</h2>

<p><code>Word2Vec</code> is an <code>Estimator</code> which takes sequences of words representing documents and trains a
<code>Word2VecModel</code>. The model maps each word to a unique fixed-size vector. The <code>Word2VecModel</code>
transforms each document into a vector using the average of all words in the document; this vector
can then be used for as features for prediction, document similarity calculations, etc.
Please refer to the <a href="mllib-feature-extraction.html#word2vec">MLlib user guide on Word2Vec</a> for more
details.</p>

<p>In the following code segment, we start with a set of documents, each of which is represented as a sequence of words. For each document, we transform it into a feature vector. This feature vector could then be passed to a learning algorithm.</p>

<h2 id="countvectorizer">CountVectorizer</h2>

<p><code>CountVectorizer</code> and <code>CountVectorizerModel</code> aim to help convert a collection of text documents
 to vectors of token counts. When an a-priori dictionary is not available, <code>CountVectorizer</code> can
 be used as an <code>Estimator</code> to extract the vocabulary and generates a <code>CountVectorizerModel</code>. The
 model produces sparse representations for the documents over the vocabulary, which can then be
 passed to other algorithms like LDA.</p>

<p>During the fitting process, <code>CountVectorizer</code> will select the top <code>vocabSize</code> words ordered by
 term frequency across the corpus. An optional parameter &#8220;minDF&#8221; also affect the fitting process
 by specifying the minimum number (or fraction if &lt; 1.0) of documents a term must appear in to be
 included in the vocabulary.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have the following DataFrame with columns <code>id</code> and <code>texts</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | texts
----|----------
 0  | Array("a", "b", "c")
 1  | Array("a", "b", "b", "c", "a")
</code></pre>

<p>each row in<code>texts</code> is a document of type Array[String].
Invoking fit of <code>CountVectorizer</code> produces a <code>CountVectorizerModel</code> with vocabulary (a, b, c),
then the output column &#8220;vector&#8221; after transformation contains:</p>

<pre><code> id | texts                           | vector
----|---------------------------------|---------------
 0  | Array("a", "b", "c")            | (3,[0,1,2],[1.0,1.0,1.0])
 1  | Array("a", "b", "b", "c", "a")  | (3,[0,1,2],[2.0,2.0,1.0])
</code></pre>

<p>each vector represents the token counts of the document over the vocabulary.</p>

<h2 id="tokenizer">Tokenizer</h2>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis#Tokenization">Tokenization</a> is the process of taking text (such as a sentence) and breaking it into individual terms (usually words).  A simple <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.Tokenizer">Tokenizer</a> class provides this functionality.  The example below shows how to split sentences into sequences of words.</p>

<p><a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.RegexTokenizer">RegexTokenizer</a> allows more
 advanced tokenization based on regular expression (regex) matching.
 By default, the parameter &#8220;pattern&#8221; (regex, default: \s+) is used as delimiters to split the input text.
 Alternatively, users can set parameter &#8220;gaps&#8221; to false indicating the regex &#8220;pattern&#8221; denotes
 &#8220;tokens&#8221; rather than splitting gaps, and find all matching occurrences as the tokenization result.</p>

<h2 id="stopwordsremover">StopWordsRemover</h2>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words">Stop words</a> are words which
should be excluded from the input, typically because the words appear
frequently and don&#8217;t carry as much meaning.</p>

<p><code>StopWordsRemover</code> takes as input a sequence of strings (e.g. the output
of a <a href="ml-features.html#tokenizer">Tokenizer</a>) and drops all the stop
words from the input sequences. The list of stopwords is specified by
the <code>stopWords</code> parameter.  We provide <a href="http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/resources/linguistic_utils/stop_words">a list of stop
words</a> by
default, accessible by calling <code>getStopWords</code> on a newly instantiated
<code>StopWordsRemover</code> instance. A boolean parameter <code>caseSensitive</code> indicates
if the matches should be case sensitive (false by default).</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have the following DataFrame with columns <code>id</code> and <code>raw</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | raw
----|----------
 0  | [I, saw, the, red, baloon]
 1  | [Mary, had, a, little, lamb]
</code></pre>

<p>Applying <code>StopWordsRemover</code> with <code>raw</code> as the input column and <code>filtered</code> as the output
column, we should get the following:</p>

<pre><code> id | raw                         | filtered
----|-----------------------------|--------------------
 0  | [I, saw, the, red, baloon]  |  [saw, red, baloon]
 1  | [Mary, had, a, little, lamb]|[Mary, little, lamb]
</code></pre>

<p>In <code>filtered</code>, the stop words &#8220;I&#8221;, &#8220;the&#8221;, &#8220;had&#8221;, and &#8220;a&#8221; have been
filtered out.</p>

<h2 id="n-gram">$n$-gram</h2>

<p>An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-gram">n-gram</a> is a sequence of $n$ tokens (typically words) for some integer $n$. The <code>NGram</code> class can be used to transform input features into $n$-grams.</p>

<p><code>NGram</code> takes as input a sequence of strings (e.g. the output of a <a href="ml-features.html#tokenizer">Tokenizer</a>).  The parameter <code>n</code> is used to determine the number of terms in each $n$-gram. The output will consist of a sequence of $n$-grams where each $n$-gram is represented by a space-delimited string of $n$ consecutive words.  If the input sequence contains fewer than <code>n</code> strings, no output is produced.</p>

<h2 id="binarizer">Binarizer</h2>

<p>Binarization is the process of thresholding numerical features to binary (0/1) features.</p>

<p><code>Binarizer</code> takes the common parameters <code>inputCol</code> and <code>outputCol</code>, as well as the <code>threshold</code> for binarization. Feature values greater than the threshold are binarized to 1.0; values equal to or less than the threshold are binarized to 0.0.</p>

<h2 id="pca">PCA</h2>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis">PCA</a> is a statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. A <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.PCA">PCA</a> class trains a model to project vectors to a low-dimensional space using PCA. The example below shows how to project 5-dimensional feature vectors into 3-dimensional principal components.</p>

<h2 id="discrete-cosine-transform-dct">Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform">Discrete Cosine
Transform</a>
transforms a length $N$ real-valued sequence in the time domain into
another length $N$ real-valued sequence in the frequency domain. A
<a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.DCT">DCT</a> class
provides this functionality, implementing the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform#DCT-II">DCT-II</a>
and scaling the result by $1/\sqrt{2}$ such that the representing matrix
for the transform is unitary. No shift is applied to the transformed
sequence (e.g. the $0$th element of the transformed sequence is the
$0$th DCT coefficient and <em>not</em> the $N/2$th).</p>

<h2 id="stringindexer">StringIndexer</h2>

<p><code>StringIndexer</code> encodes a string column of labels to a column of label indices.
The indices are in <code>[0, numLabels)</code>, ordered by label frequencies.
So the most frequent label gets index <code>0</code>.
If the input column is numeric, we cast it to string and index the string
values. When downstream pipeline components such as <code>Estimator</code> or
<code>Transformer</code> make use of this string-indexed label, you must set the input
column of the component to this string-indexed column name. In many cases,
you can set the input column with <code>setInputCol</code>.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have the following DataFrame with columns <code>id</code> and <code>category</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | category
----|----------
 0  | a
 1  | b
 2  | c
 3  | a
 4  | a
 5  | c
</code></pre>

<p><code>category</code> is a string column with three labels: &#8220;a&#8221;, &#8220;b&#8221;, and &#8220;c&#8221;.
Applying <code>StringIndexer</code> with <code>category</code> as the input column and <code>categoryIndex</code> as the output
column, we should get the following:</p>

<pre><code> id | category | categoryIndex
----|----------|---------------
 0  | a        | 0.0
 1  | b        | 2.0
 2  | c        | 1.0
 3  | a        | 0.0
 4  | a        | 0.0
 5  | c        | 1.0
</code></pre>

<p>&#8220;a&#8221; gets index <code>0</code> because it is the most frequent, followed by &#8220;c&#8221; with index <code>1</code> and &#8220;b&#8221; with
index <code>2</code>.</p>

<p>Additionally, there are two strategies regarding how <code>StringIndexer</code> will handle
unseen labels when you have fit a <code>StringIndexer</code> on one dataset and then use it
to transform another:</p>

<ul>
  <li>throw an exception (which is the default)</li>
  <li>skip the row containing the unseen label entirely</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Let&#8217;s go back to our previous example but this time reuse our previously defined
<code>StringIndexer</code> on the following dataset:</p>

<pre><code> id | category
----|----------
 0  | a
 1  | b
 2  | c
 3  | d
</code></pre>

<p>If you&#8217;ve not set how <code>StringIndexer</code> handles unseen labels or set it to
&#8220;error&#8221;, an exception will be thrown.
However, if you had called <code>setHandleInvalid("skip")</code>, the following dataset
will be generated:</p>

<pre><code> id | category | categoryIndex
----|----------|---------------
 0  | a        | 0.0
 1  | b        | 2.0
 2  | c        | 1.0
</code></pre>

<p>Notice that the row containing &#8220;d&#8221; does not appear.</p>

<h2 id="indextostring">IndexToString</h2>

<p>Symmetrically to <code>StringIndexer</code>, <code>IndexToString</code> maps a column of label indices
back to a column containing the original labels as strings. The common use case
is to produce indices from labels with <code>StringIndexer</code>, train a model with those
indices and retrieve the original labels from the column of predicted indices
with <code>IndexToString</code>. However, you are free to supply your own labels.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Building on the <code>StringIndexer</code> example, let&#8217;s assume we have the following
DataFrame with columns <code>id</code> and <code>categoryIndex</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | categoryIndex
----|---------------
 0  | 0.0
 1  | 2.0
 2  | 1.0
 3  | 0.0
 4  | 0.0
 5  | 1.0
</code></pre>

<p>Applying <code>IndexToString</code> with <code>categoryIndex</code> as the input column,
<code>originalCategory</code> as the output column, we are able to retrieve our original
labels (they will be inferred from the columns&#8217; metadata):</p>

<pre><code> id | categoryIndex | originalCategory
----|---------------|-----------------
 0  | 0.0           | a
 1  | 2.0           | b
 2  | 1.0           | c
 3  | 0.0           | a
 4  | 0.0           | a
 5  | 1.0           | c
</code></pre>

<h2 id="vectorindexer">VectorIndexer</h2>

<p><code>VectorIndexer</code> helps index categorical features in datasets of <code>Vector</code>s.
It can both automatically decide which features are categorical and convert original values to category indices.  Specifically, it does the following:</p>

<ol>
  <li>Take an input column of type <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.Vector">Vector</a> and a parameter <code>maxCategories</code>.</li>
  <li>Decide which features should be categorical based on the number of distinct values, where features with at most <code>maxCategories</code> are declared categorical.</li>
  <li>Compute 0-based category indices for each categorical feature.</li>
  <li>Index categorical features and transform original feature values to indices.</li>
</ol>

<p>Indexing categorical features allows algorithms such as Decision Trees and Tree Ensembles to treat categorical features appropriately, improving performance.</p>

<p>In the example below, we read in a dataset of labeled points and then use <code>VectorIndexer</code> to decide which features should be treated as categorical.  We transform the categorical feature values to their indices.  This transformed data could then be passed to algorithms such as <code>DecisionTreeRegressor</code> that handle categorical features.</p>

<h2 id="normalizer">Normalizer</h2>

<p><code>Normalizer</code> is a <code>Transformer</code> which transforms a dataset of <code>Vector</code> rows, normalizing each <code>Vector</code> to have unit norm.  It takes parameter <code>p</code>, which specifies the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_%28mathematics%29#p-norm">p-norm</a> used for normalization.  ($p = 2$ by default.)  This normalization can help standardize your input data and improve the behavior of learning algorithms.</p>

<p>The following example demonstrates how to load a dataset in libsvm format and then normalize each row to have unit $L^2$ norm and unit $L^\infty$ norm.</p>

<h2 id="standardscaler">StandardScaler</h2>

<p><code>StandardScaler</code> transforms a dataset of <code>Vector</code> rows, normalizing each feature to have unit standard deviation and/or zero mean.  It takes parameters:</p>

<ul>
  <li><code>withStd</code>: True by default. Scales the data to unit standard deviation.</li>
  <li><code>withMean</code>: False by default. Centers the data with mean before scaling. It will build a dense output, so this does not work on sparse input and will raise an exception.</li>
</ul>

<p><code>StandardScaler</code> is an <code>Estimator</code> which can be <code>fit</code> on a dataset to produce a <code>StandardScalerModel</code>; this amounts to computing summary statistics.  The model can then transform a <code>Vector</code> column in a dataset to have unit standard deviation and/or zero mean features.</p>

<p>Note that if the standard deviation of a feature is zero, it will return default <code>0.0</code> value in the <code>Vector</code> for that feature.</p>

<p>The following example demonstrates how to load a dataset in libsvm format and then normalize each feature to have unit standard deviation.</p>

<h2 id="minmaxscaler">MinMaxScaler</h2>

<p><code>MinMaxScaler</code> transforms a dataset of <code>Vector</code> rows, rescaling each feature to a specific range (often [0, 1]).  It takes parameters:</p>

<ul>
  <li><code>min</code>: 0.0 by default. Lower bound after transformation, shared by all features.</li>
  <li><code>max</code>: 1.0 by default. Upper bound after transformation, shared by all features.</li>
</ul>

<p><code>MinMaxScaler</code> computes summary statistics on a data set and produces a <code>MinMaxScalerModel</code>. The model can then transform each feature individually such that it is in the given range.</p>

<p>The rescaled value for a feature E is calculated as,
<code>\begin{equation}
  Rescaled(e_i) = \frac{e_i - E_{min}}{E_{max} - E_{min}} * (max - min) + min
\end{equation}</code>
For the case <code>E_{max} == E_{min}</code>, <code>Rescaled(e_i) = 0.5 * (max + min)</code></p>

<p>Note that since zero values will probably be transformed to non-zero values, output of the transformer will be DenseVector even for sparse input.</p>

<p>The following example demonstrates how to load a dataset in libsvm format and then rescale each feature to [0, 1].</p>

<h2 id="bucketizer">Bucketizer</h2>

<p><code>Bucketizer</code> transforms a column of continuous features to a column of feature buckets, where the buckets are specified by users. It takes a parameter:</p>

<ul>
  <li><code>splits</code>: Parameter for mapping continuous features into buckets. With n+1 splits, there are n buckets. A bucket defined by splits x,y holds values in the range [x,y) except the last bucket, which also includes y. Splits should be strictly increasing. Values at -inf, inf must be explicitly provided to cover all Double values; Otherwise, values outside the splits specified will be treated as errors. Two examples of <code>splits</code> are <code>Array(Double.NegativeInfinity, 0.0, 1.0, Double.PositiveInfinity)</code> and <code>Array(0.0, 1.0, 2.0)</code>.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that if you have no idea of the upper bound and lower bound of the targeted column, you would better add the <code>Double.NegativeInfinity</code> and <code>Double.PositiveInfinity</code> as the bounds of your splits to prevent a potential out of Bucketizer bounds exception.</p>

<p>Note also that the splits that you provided have to be in strictly increasing order, i.e. <code>s0 &lt; s1 &lt; s2 &lt; ... &lt; sn</code>.</p>

<p>More details can be found in the API docs for <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.Bucketizer">Bucketizer</a>.</p>

<h2 id="elementwiseproduct">ElementwiseProduct</h2>

<p>ElementwiseProduct multiplies each input vector by a provided &#8220;weight&#8221; vector, using element-wise multiplication. In other words, it scales each column of the dataset by a scalar multiplier.  This represents the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadamard_product_%28matrices%29">Hadamard product</a> between the input vector, <code>v</code> and transforming vector, <code>w</code>, to yield a result vector.</p>

<p><code>\[ \begin{pmatrix}
v_1 \\
\vdots \\
v_N
\end{pmatrix} \circ \begin{pmatrix}
                    w_1 \\
                    \vdots \\
                    w_N

<h2 id="sqltransformer">SQLTransformer</h2>

<p><code>SQLTransformer</code> implements the transformations which are defined by SQL statement.
Currently we only support SQL syntax like <code>"SELECT ... FROM __THIS__ ..."</code>
where <code>"__THIS__"</code> represents the underlying table of the input dataset.
The select clause specifies the fields, constants, and expressions to display in
the output, it can be any select clause that Spark SQL supports. Users can also
use Spark SQL built-in function and UDFs to operate on these selected columns.
For example, <code>SQLTransformer</code> supports statements like:</p>

<h2 id="vectorassembler">VectorAssembler</h2>

<p><code>VectorAssembler</code> is a transformer that combines a given list of columns into a single vector
column.
It is useful for combining raw features and features generated by different feature transformers
into a single feature vector, in order to train ML models like logistic regression and decision
trees.
<code>VectorAssembler</code> accepts the following input column types: all numeric types, boolean type,
and vector type.
In each row, the values of the input columns will be concatenated into a vector in the specified
order.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have a DataFrame with the columns <code>id</code>, <code>hour</code>, <code>mobile</code>, <code>userFeatures</code>,
and <code>clicked</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | hour | mobile | userFeatures     | clicked
----|------|--------|------------------|---------
 0  | 18   | 1.0    | [0.0, 10.0, 0.5] | 1.0
</code></pre>

<p><code>userFeatures</code> is a vector column that contains three user features.
We want to combine <code>hour</code>, <code>mobile</code>, and <code>userFeatures</code> into a single feature vector
called <code>features</code> and use it to predict <code>clicked</code> or not.
If we set <code>VectorAssembler</code>&#8217;s input columns to <code>hour</code>, <code>mobile</code>, and <code>userFeatures</code> and
output column to <code>features</code>, after transformation we should get the following DataFrame:</p>

<pre><code> id | hour | mobile | userFeatures     | clicked | features
----|------|--------|------------------|---------|-----------------------------
 0  | 18   | 1.0    | [0.0, 10.0, 0.5] | 1.0     | [18.0, 1.0, 0.0, 10.0, 0.5]

<h2 id="quantilediscretizer">QuantileDiscretizer</h2>

<p><code>QuantileDiscretizer</code> takes a column with continuous features and outputs a column with binned
categorical features.
The bin ranges are chosen by taking a sample of the data and dividing it into roughly equal parts.
The lower and upper bin bounds will be <code>-Infinity</code> and <code>+Infinity</code>, covering all real values.
This attempts to find <code>numBuckets</code> partitions based on a sample of the given input data, but it may
find fewer depending on the data sample values.</p>

<p>Note that the result may be different every time you run it, since the sample strategy behind it is
non-deterministic.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have a DataFrame with the columns <code>id</code>, <code>hour</code>:</p>

<pre><code> id | hour
----|------
 0  | 18.0
----|------
 1  | 19.0
----|------
 2  | 8.0
----|------
 3  | 5.0
----|------
 4  | 2.2
</code></pre>

<p><code>hour</code> is a continuous feature with <code>Double</code> type. We want to turn the continuous feature into
categorical one. Given <code>numBuckets = 3</code>, we should get the following DataFrame:</p>

<pre><code> id | hour | result
----|------|------
 0  | 18.0 | 2.0
----|------|------
 1  | 19.0 | 2.0
----|------|------
 2  | 8.0  | 1.0
----|------|------
 3  | 5.0  | 1.0
----|------|------
 4  | 2.2  | 0.0
</code></pre>

<h1 id="feature-selectors">Feature Selectors</h1>

<h2 id="vectorslicer">VectorSlicer</h2>

<p><code>VectorSlicer</code> is a transformer that takes a feature vector and outputs a new feature vector with a
sub-array of the original features. It is useful for extracting features from a vector column.</p>

<p><code>VectorSlicer</code> accepts a vector column with a specified indices, then outputs a new vector column
whose values are selected via those indices. There are two types of indices,</p>

<ol>
  <li>
    <p>Integer indices that represents the indices into the vector, <code>setIndices()</code>;</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>String indices that represents the names of features into the vector, <code>setNames()</code>.
 <em>This requires the vector column to have an <code>AttributeGroup</code> since the implementation matches on
 the name field of an <code>Attribute</code>.</em></p>
  </li>
</ol>

<p>Specification by integer and string are both acceptable. Moreover, you can use integer index and
string name simultaneously. At least one feature must be selected. Duplicate features are not
allowed, so there can be no overlap between selected indices and names. Note that if names of
features are selected, an exception will be threw out when encountering with empty input attributes.</p>

<p>The output vector will order features with the selected indices first (in the order given),
followed by the selected names (in the order given).</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Suppose that we have a DataFrame with the column <code>userFeatures</code>:</p>

<pre><code> userFeatures
------------------
 [0.0, 10.0, 0.5]
</code></pre>

<p><code>userFeatures</code> is a vector column that contains three user features. Assuming that the first column
of <code>userFeatures</code> are all zeros, so we want to remove it and only the last two columns are selected.
The <code>VectorSlicer</code> selects the last two elements with <code>setIndices(1, 2)</code> then produces a new vector
column named <code>features</code>:</p>

<pre><code> userFeatures     | features
------------------|-----------------------------
 [0.0, 10.0, 0.5] | [10.0, 0.5]
</code></pre>

<p>Suppose also that we have a potential input attributes for the <code>userFeatures</code>, i.e.
<code>["f1", "f2", "f3"]</code>, then we can use <code>setNames("f2", "f3")</code> to select them.</p>

<pre><code> userFeatures     | features
------------------|-----------------------------
 [0.0, 10.0, 0.5] | [10.0, 0.5]
 ["f1", "f2", "f3"] | ["f2", "f3"]

<h2 id="rformula">RFormula</h2>

<p><code>RFormula</code> selects columns specified by an <a href="https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/formula.html">R model formula</a>. 
Currently we support a limited subset of the R operators, including &#8216;~&#8217;, &#8216;.&#8217;, &#8216;:&#8217;, &#8216;+&#8217;, and &#8216;-&#8216;.
The basic operators are:</p>

<ul>
  <li><code>~</code> separate target and terms</li>
  <li><code>+</code> concat terms, &#8220;+ 0&#8221; means removing intercept</li>
  <li><code>-</code> remove a term, &#8220;- 1&#8221; means removing intercept</li>
  <li><code>:</code> interaction (multiplication for numeric values, or binarized categorical values)</li>
  <li><code>.</code> all columns except target</li>
</ul>

<p>Suppose <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> are double columns, we use the following simple examples to illustrate the effect of <code>RFormula</code>:</p>

<ul>
  <li><code>y ~ a + b</code> means model <code>y ~ w0 + w1 * a + w2 * b</code> where <code>w0</code> is the intercept and <code>w1, w2</code> are coefficients.</li>
  <li><code>y ~ a + b + a:b - 1</code> means model <code>y ~ w1 * a + w2 * b + w3 * a * b</code> where <code>w1, w2, w3</code> are coefficients.</li>
</ul>

<p><code>RFormula</code> produces a vector column of features and a double or string column of label. 
Like when formulas are used in R for linear regression, string input columns will be one-hot encoded, and numeric columns will be cast to doubles.
If the label column is of type string, it will be first transformed to double with <code>StringIndexer</code>.
If the label column does not exist in the DataFrame, the output label column will be created from the specified response variable in the formula.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have a DataFrame with the columns <code>id</code>, <code>country</code>, <code>hour</code>, and <code>clicked</code>:</p>

<pre><code>id | country | hour | clicked
---|---------|------|---------
 7 | "US"    | 18   | 1.0
 8 | "CA"    | 12   | 0.0
 9 | "NZ"    | 15   | 0.0
</code></pre>

<p>If we use <code>RFormula</code> with a formula string of <code>clicked ~ country + hour</code>, which indicates that we want to
predict <code>clicked</code> based on <code>country</code> and <code>hour</code>, after transformation we should get the following DataFrame:</p>

<pre><code>id | country | hour | clicked | features         | label
---|---------|------|---------|------------------|-------
 7 | "US"    | 18   | 1.0     | [0.0, 0.0, 18.0] | 1.0
 8 | "CA"    | 12   | 0.0     | [0.0, 1.0, 12.0] | 0.0
 9 | "NZ"    | 15   | 0.0     | [1.0, 0.0, 15.0] | 0.0
</code></pre>

<h2 id="chisqselector">ChiSqSelector</h2>

<p><code>ChiSqSelector</code> stands for Chi-Squared feature selection. It operates on labeled data with
categorical features. ChiSqSelector orders features based on a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_test">Chi-Squared test of independence</a>
from the class, and then filters (selects) the top features which the class label depends on the
most. This is akin to yielding the features with the most predictive power.</p>

<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>

<p>Assume that we have a DataFrame with the columns <code>id</code>, <code>features</code>, and <code>clicked</code>, which is used as
our target to be predicted:</p>

<pre><code>id | features              | clicked
---|-----------------------|---------
 7 | [0.0, 0.0, 18.0, 1.0] | 1.0
 8 | [0.0, 1.0, 12.0, 0.0] | 0.0
 9 | [1.0, 0.0, 15.0, 0.1] | 0.0
</code></pre>

<p>If we use <code>ChiSqSelector</code> with a <code>numTopFeatures = 1</code>, then according to our label <code>clicked</code> the
last column in our <code>features</code> chosen as the most useful feature:</p>

<pre><code>id | features              | clicked | selectedFeatures
---|-----------------------|---------|------------------
 7 | [0.0, 0.0, 18.0, 1.0] | 1.0     | [1.0]
 8 | [0.0, 1.0, 12.0, 0.0] | 0.0     | [0.0]
 9 | [1.0, 0.0, 15.0, 0.1] | 0.0     | [0.1]
