Methods

clear(param)

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy([extra])

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.

evaluate(dataset[, params])

Evaluates the output with optional parameters.

explainParam(param)

Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()

Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap([extra])

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

getK()

Gets the value of k or its default value.

getLabelCol()

Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.

getMetricName()

Gets the value of metricName or its default value.

getOrDefault(param)

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

getPredictionCol()

Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.

hasDefault(param)

Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName)

Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isLargerBetter()

Indicates whether the metric returned by evaluate() should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False).

isSet(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

load(path)

Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

read()

Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path)

Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)

Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setK(value)

Sets the value of k.

setLabelCol(value)

Sets the value of labelCol.

setMetricName(value)

Sets the value of metricName.

setParams(self, \*[, predictionCol, labelCol, k])

Sets params for ranking evaluator.

setPredictionCol(value)

Sets the value of predictionCol.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)

Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters:
extradict, optional

Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns:
JavaParams

Copy of this instance

evaluate(dataset, params=None)

Evaluates the output with optional parameters.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters:
datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame

a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions

paramsdict, optional

an optional param map that overrides embedded params

Returns:
float

metric

explainParam(param)

Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()

Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters:
extradict, optional

extra param values

Returns:
dict

merged param map

getK()[source]

Gets the value of k or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

getLabelCol()

Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.

getMetricName()[source]

Gets the value of metricName or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

getOrDefault(param)

Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getParam(paramName)

Gets a param by its name.

getPredictionCol()

Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.

hasDefault(param)

Checks whether a param has a default value.

hasParam(paramName)

Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

isLargerBetter()

Indicates whether the metric returned by evaluate() should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False). A given evaluator may support multiple metrics which may be maximized or minimized.

New in version 1.5.0.

isSet(param)

Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

classmethod load(path)

Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

classmethod read()

Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path)

Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)

Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.

setK(value)[source]

Sets the value of k.

New in version 3.0.0.

setLabelCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of labelCol.

New in version 3.0.0.

Sets params for ranking evaluator.

New in version 3.0.0.

setPredictionCol(value)[source]

Sets the value of predictionCol.

New in version 3.0.0.

write()

Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Attributes Documentation

k = Param(parent='undefined', name='k', doc='The ranking position value used in meanAveragePrecisionAtK|precisionAtK|ndcgAtK|recallAtK. Must be > 0. The default value is 10.')
labelCol = Param(parent='undefined', name='labelCol', doc='label column name.')
