sklearn.feature_selection.SelectKBest

class sklearn.feature_selection.SelectKBest(score_func=<function f_classif at 0x34fca28>, k=10)

Select features according to the k highest scores.

Parameters:

score_func : callable

Function taking two arrays X and y, and returning a pair of arrays (scores, pvalues).

k : int or “all”, optional, default=10

Number of top features to select. The “all” option bypasses selection, for use in a parameter search.

Attributes:

`scores_` : array-like, shape=(n_features,)

Scores of features.

`pvalues_` : array-like, shape=(n_features,)

p-values of feature scores.

Notes

Ties between features with equal scores will be broken in an unspecified way.

Methods

fit(X, y)	Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.
fit_transform(X[, y])	Fit to data, then transform it.
get_params([deep])	Get parameters for this estimator.
get_support([indices])	Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected
inverse_transform(X)	Reverse the transformation operation
set_params(**params)	Set the parameters of this estimator.
transform(X)	Reduce X to the selected features.

__init__(score_func=<function f_classif at 0x34fca28>, k=10)

fit(X, y)

Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.

Parameters:

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

The training input samples.

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression).

Returns:

self : object

Returns self.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_params and returns a transformed version of X.

Parameters:

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Training set.

y : numpy array of shape [n_samples]

Target values.

Returns:

X_new : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features_new]

Transformed array.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deep: boolean, optional :

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

get_support(indices=False)

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

Parameters:

indices : boolean (default False)

If True, the return value will be an array of integers, rather than a boolean mask.

Returns:

support : array

An index that selects the retained features from a feature vector. If indices is False, this is a boolean array of shape [# input features], in which an element is True iff its corresponding feature is selected for retention. If indices is True, this is an integer array of shape [# output features] whose values are indices into the input feature vector.

inverse_transform(X)

Reverse the transformation operation

Parameters:

X : array of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples.

Returns:

X_r : array of shape [n_samples, n_original_features]

X with columns of zeros inserted where features would have been removed by transform.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:self :

transform(X)

Reduce X to the selected features.

Parameters:

X : array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

The input samples.

Returns:

X_r : array of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples with only the selected features.
