VarianceThreshold

VarianceThreshold

Feature selector that removes all low-variance features.

This feature selection algorithm looks only at the features (X), not the desired outputs (y), and can thus be used for unsupervised learning.

Constructors

constructor()

Signature

new VarianceThreshold(opts?: object): VarianceThreshold;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.threshold?numberFeatures with a training-set variance lower than this threshold will be removed. The default is to keep all features with non-zero variance, i.e. remove the features that have the same value in all samples. Default Value 0

Returns

VarianceThreshold

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:25 (opens in a new tab)

Methods

dispose()

Disposes of the underlying Python resources.

Once dispose() is called, the instance is no longer usable.

Signature

dispose(): Promise<void>;

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:92 (opens in a new tab)

fit()

Learn empirical variances from X.

Signature

fit(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.X?anyData from which to compute variances, where n\_samples is the number of samples and n\_features is the number of features.
opts.y?anyIgnored. This parameter exists only for compatibility with sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline.

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:109 (opens in a new tab)

fit_transform()

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit\_params and returns a transformed version of X.

Signature

fit_transform(opts: object): Promise<any[]>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.X?ArrayLike[]Input samples.
opts.fit_params?anyAdditional fit parameters.
opts.y?ArrayLikeTarget values (undefined for unsupervised transformations).

Returns

Promise<any[]>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:151 (opens in a new tab)

get_feature_names_out()

Mask feature names according to selected features.

Signature

get_feature_names_out(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.input_features?anyInput features.

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:202 (opens in a new tab)

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Signature

get_metadata_routing(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.routing?anyA MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:242 (opens in a new tab)

get_support()

Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected.

Signature

get_support(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.indices?booleanIf true, the return value will be an array of integers, rather than a boolean mask. Default Value false

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:280 (opens in a new tab)

init()

Initializes the underlying Python resources.

This instance is not usable until the Promise returned by init() resolves.

Signature

init(py: PythonBridge): Promise<void>;

Parameters

NameType
pyPythonBridge

Returns

Promise<void>

inverse_transform()

Reverse the transformation operation.

Signature

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.X?anyThe input samples.

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:317 (opens in a new tab)

set_output()

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Signature

set_output(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.transform?"default" | "pandas"Configure output of transform and fit\_transform.

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/feature_selection/VarianceThreshold.ts:357 (opens in a new tab)

transform()
