AgglomerativeClusteringBucketer

Bases: BaseBucketer

The AgglomerativeClusteringBucketer transformer creates buckets using sklearn.AgglomerativeClustering.

Support

Example:

from skorecard import datasets
from skorecard.bucketers import AgglomerativeClusteringBucketer

specials = {"LIMIT_BAL": {"=50000": [50000], "in [20001,30000]": [20000, 30000]}}

X, y = datasets.load_uci_credit_card(return_X_y=True)
bucketer = AgglomerativeClusteringBucketer(n_bins = 10, variables=['LIMIT_BAL'], specials=specials)
bucketer.fit_transform(X)
bucketer.fit_transform(X)['LIMIT_BAL'].value_counts()

variables_type property

Signals variables type supported by this bucketer.

__init__(n_bins=5, variables=[], specials={}, missing_treatment='separate', remainder='passthrough', get_statistics=True, **kwargs)

Init the class.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
n_bins	int	Number of bins to create.	5
variables	list	The features to bucket. Uses all features if not defined.	[]
specials		(dict) of special values that require their own binning. The dictionary has the following format: {"" : {"name of special bucket" : }} For every feature that needs a special value, a dictionary must be passed as value. This dictionary contains a name of a bucket (key) and an array of unique values that should be put in that bucket. When special values are defined, they are not considered in the fitting procedure.	{}
missing_treatment		Defines how we treat the missing values present in the data. If a string, it must be one of the following options: separate: Missing values get put in a separate 'Other' bucket: -1 most_risky: Missing values are put into the bucket containing the largest percentage of Class 1. least_risky: Missing values are put into the bucket containing the largest percentage of Class 0. most_frequent: Missing values are put into the most common bucket. neutral: Missing values are put into the bucket with WoE closest to 0. similar: Missing values are put into the bucket with WoE closest to the bucket with only missing values. passthrough: Leaves missing values untouched. If a dict, it must be of the following format: {"": } This bucket number is where we will put the missing values.	'separate'
remainder		How we want the non-specified columns to be transformed. It must be in ["passthrough", "drop"]. passthrough (Default): all columns that were not specified in "variables" will be passed through. drop: all remaining columns that were not specified in "variables" will be dropped.	'passthrough'
