For continuous features, the bins are created in a feature-wise fashion, using quantiles so that each bins contains approximately the same number of samples. For large datasets, quantiles are computed on a subset of the data to speed-up the binning, but the quantiles should remain stable. For categorical features, the raw categorical values are expected to be in [0, 254] (this is not validated here though) and each category corresponds to a bin. All categorical values must be known at initialization: transform() doesn't know how to bin unknown categorical values. Note that transform() is only used on non-training data in the case of early stopping. Features with a small number of values may be binned into less than ``n_bins`` bins. The last bin (at index ``n_bins - 1``) is always reserved for missing values. Parameters ---------- n_bins : int, default=256 The maximum number of bins to use (including the bin for missing values). Should be in [3, 256]. Non-missing values are binned on ``max_bins = n_bins - 1`` bins. The last bin is always reserved for missing values. If for a given feature the number of unique values is less than ``max_bins``, then those unique values will be used to compute the bin thresholds, instead of the quantiles. For categorical features indicated by ``is_categorical``, the docstring for ``is_categorical`` details on this procedure. subsample : int or None, default=2e5 If ``n_samples > subsample``, then ``sub_samples`` samples will be randomly chosen to compute the quantiles. If ``None``, the whole data is used. is_categorical : ndarray of bool of shape (n_features,), default=None Indicates categorical features. By default, all features are considered continuous. known_categories : list of {ndarray, None} of shape (n_features,), \ default=none For each categorical feature, the array indicates the set of unique categorical values. These should be the possible values over all the data, not just the training data. For continuous features, the corresponding entry should be None. random_state: int, RandomState instance or None, default=None Pseudo-random number generator to control the random sub-sampling. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See :term:`Glossary `. n_threads : int, default=None Number of OpenMP threads to use. `_openmp_effective_n_threads` is called to determine the effective number of threads use, which takes cgroups CPU quotes into account. See the docstring of `_openmp_effective_n_threads` for details. Attributes ---------- bin_thresholds_ : list of ndarray For each feature, each array indicates how to map a feature into a binned feature. The semantic and size depends on the nature of the feature: - for real-valued features, the array corresponds to the real-valued bin thresholds (the upper bound of each bin). There are ``max_bins - 1`` thresholds, where ``max_bins = n_bins - 1`` is the number of bins used for non-missing values. - for categorical features, the array is a map from a binned category value to the raw category value. The size of the array is equal to ``min(max_bins, category_cardinality)`` where we ignore missing values in the cardinality. n_bins_non_missing_ : ndarray, dtype=np.uint32 For each feature, gives the number of bins actually used for non-missing values. For features with a lot of unique values, this is equal to ``n_bins - 1``. is_categorical_ : ndarray of shape (n_features,), dtype=np.uint8 Indicator for categorical features. missing_values_bin_idx_ : np.uint8 The index of the bin where missing values are mapped. This is a constant across all features. This corresponds to the last bin, and it is always equal to ``n_bins - 1``. Note that if ``n_bins_missing_`` is less than ``n_bins - 1`` for a given feature, then there are empty (and unused) bins.
