nvtabular.ops.FillMedian

class nvtabular.ops.FillMedian(add_binary_cols=False)

Bases: nvtabular.ops.stat_operator.StatOperator

This operation replaces missing values with the median value for the column.

Example usage:

# Use FillMedian in a workflow for continuous columns
cont_features = ['cont1', 'cont2', 'cont3'] >> ops.FillMedian()
processor = nvtabular.Workflow(cont_features)

Parameters

add_binary_cols (boolean, default False) – When True, adds binary columns that indicate whether cells in each column were filled

__init__(add_binary_cols=False)

Methods

__init__([add_binary_cols])
clear()
column_mapping(col_selector)
compute_column_schema(col_name, input_schema)
compute_input_schema(root_schema, …)	Given the schemas coming from upstream sources and a column selector for the input columns, returns a set of schemas for the input columns this operator will use :param root_schema: Base schema of the dataset before running any operators.
compute_output_schema(input_schema, col_selector)	Given a set of schemas and a column selector for the input columns, returns a set of schemas for the transformed columns this operator will produce :param input_schema: The schemas of the columns to apply this operator to :type input_schema: Schema :param col_selector: The column selector to apply to the input schema :type col_selector: ColumnSelector
compute_selector(input_schema, selector, …)
create_node(selector)
fit(col_selector, ddf)	Calculate statistics for this operator, and return a dask future to these statistics, which will be computed by the workflow.
fit_finalize(dask_stats)	Finalize statistics calculation - the workflow calls this function with the computed statistics from the ‘fit’ object’
inference_initialize(col_selector, model_config)	Configures this operator for use in inference.
output_column_names(col_selector)	Given a set of columns names returns the names of the transformed columns this operator will produce :param columns: The columns to apply this operator to :type columns: list of str, or list of list of str
set_storage_path(new_path[, copy])	Certain stat operators need external storage - for instance Categorify writes out parquet files containing the categorical mapping.
transform(col_selector, df)	Transform the dataframe by applying this operator to the set of input columns

Attributes

dependencies	Defines an optional list of column dependencies for this operator.
dynamic_dtypes
label
output_dtype
output_properties
output_tags
supports	Returns what kind of data representation this operator supports

transform(col_selector: merlin.dag.selector.ColumnSelector, df: pandas.core.frame.DataFrame) → pandas.core.frame.DataFrame

Transform the dataframe by applying this operator to the set of input columns

Parameters

• columns (list of str or list of list of str) – The columns to apply this operator to

• df (Dataframe) – A pandas or cudf dataframe that this operator will work on

Returns

Returns a transformed dataframe for this operator

Return type

DataFrame

fit(col_selector: merlin.dag.selector.ColumnSelector, ddf: dask.dataframe.core.DataFrame)

Calculate statistics for this operator, and return a dask future to these statistics, which will be computed by the workflow.

fit_finalize(dask_stats)

Finalize statistics calculation - the workflow calls this function with the computed statistics from the ‘fit’ object’
