nvtabular.ops.FillMissing

class nvtabular.ops.FillMissing(fill_val=0, add_binary_cols=False)

Bases: nvtabular.ops.operator.Operator

This operation replaces missing values with a constant pre-defined value

Example usage:

# Use FillMissing to define a workflow for continuous columns and specify the fill value
# Default is 0
cont_features = ['cont1', 'cont2', 'cont3'] >> ops.FillMissing() >> ...
processor = nvtabular.Workflow(cont_features)

Parameters

• fill_val (float, default 0) – The constant value to replace missing values with.

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

__init__(fill_val=0, add_binary_cols=False)

Methods

__init__([fill_val, add_binary_cols])
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)
inference_initialize(col_selector, …)	load up extra configuration about this op.
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
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.

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

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

Returns

Returns a transformed dataframe for this operator

Return type
