您可以使用numpy。眼睛的功能。

import numpy as np

def one_hot_encode(x, n_classes):
    """
    One hot encode a list of sample labels. Return a one-hot encoded vector for each label.
    : x: List of sample Labels
    : return: Numpy array of one-hot encoded labels
     """
    return np.eye(n_classes)[x]

def main():
    list = [0,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,0]
    n_classes = 5
    one_hot_list = one_hot_encode(list, n_classes)
    print(one_hot_list)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

结果

单热编码需要比将值转换为指示器变量更多的内容。通常ML过程要求您多次将此编码应用于验证或测试数据集，并将您构建的模型应用于实时观察数据。您应该存储用于构造模型的映射(转换)。一个好的解决方案是使用DictVectorizer或LabelEncoder(后面跟着get_dummies)。下面是一个你可以使用的函数:

def oneHotEncode2(df, le_dict = {}):
    if not le_dict:
        columnsToEncode = list(df.select_dtypes(include=['category','object']))
        train = True;
    else:
        columnsToEncode = le_dict.keys()   
        train = False;

    for feature in columnsToEncode:
        if train:
            le_dict[feature] = LabelEncoder()
        try:
            if train:
                df[feature] = le_dict[feature].fit_transform(df[feature])
            else:
                df[feature] = le_dict[feature].transform(df[feature])

            df = pd.concat([df, 
                              pd.get_dummies(df[feature]).rename(columns=lambda x: feature + '_' + str(x))], axis=1)
            df = df.drop(feature, axis=1)
        except:
            print('Error encoding '+feature)
            #df[feature]  = df[feature].convert_objects(convert_numeric='force')
            df[feature]  = df[feature].apply(pd.to_numeric, errors='coerce')
    return (df, le_dict)

这适用于pandas数据框架，它为数据框架的每一列创建并返回一个映射。所以你可以这样称呼它:

train_data, le_dict = oneHotEncode2(train_data)

然后在测试数据上，通过传递训练返回的字典进行调用:

test_data, _ = oneHotEncode2(test_data, le_dict)

一个等效的方法是使用DictVectorizer。我的博客上有一篇相关的文章。我在这里提到它是因为它为这种方法提供了一些理由，而不是简单地使用get_dummies post(披露:这是我自己的博客)。

您可以使用numpy。眼睛的功能。

import numpy as np

def one_hot_encode(x, n_classes):
    """
    One hot encode a list of sample labels. Return a one-hot encoded vector for each label.
    : x: List of sample Labels
    : return: Numpy array of one-hot encoded labels
     """
    return np.eye(n_classes)[x]

def main():
    list = [0,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,0]
    n_classes = 5
    one_hot_list = one_hot_encode(list, n_classes)
    print(one_hot_list)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

结果

D:\Desktop>python test.py
[[ 1.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  1.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  0.  1.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  1.  0.]

 [ 0.  1.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 1.  0.  0.  0.  0.]]

下面是使用DictVectorizer和Pandas datafframe .to_dict('records')方法的解决方案。

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> X = pd.DataFrame({'income': [100000,110000,90000,30000,14000,50000],
                      'country':['US', 'CAN', 'US', 'CAN', 'MEX', 'US'],
                      'race':['White', 'Black', 'Latino', 'White', 'White', 'Black']
                     })

>>> from sklearn.feature_extraction import DictVectorizer
>>> v = DictVectorizer()
>>> qualitative_features = ['country','race']
>>> X_qual = v.fit_transform(X[qualitative_features].to_dict('records'))
>>> v.vocabulary_
{'country=CAN': 0,
 'country=MEX': 1,
 'country=US': 2,
 'race=Black': 3,
 'race=Latino': 4,
 'race=White': 5}

>>> X_qual.toarray()
array([[ 0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  1.],
       [ 1.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  1.,  0.,  0.]])

您可以将数据传递给catboost分类器而不进行编码。Catboost通过执行单热和目标扩展平均编码来处理分类变量本身。

扩展@Martin Thoma的答案

def one_hot_encode(y):
    """Convert an iterable of indices to one-hot encoded labels."""
    y = y.flatten() # Sometimes not flattened vector is passed e.g (118,1) in these cases
    # the function ends up creating a tensor e.g. (118, 2, 1). flatten removes this issue
    nb_classes = len(np.unique(y)) # get the number of unique classes
    standardised_labels = dict(zip(np.unique(y), np.arange(nb_classes))) # get the class labels as a dictionary
    # which then is standardised. E.g imagine class labels are (4,7,9) if a vector of y containing 4,7 and 9 is
    # directly passed then np.eye(nb_classes)[4] or 7,9 throws an out of index error.
    # standardised labels fixes this issue by returning a dictionary;
    # standardised_labels = {4:0, 7:1, 9:2}. The values of the dictionary are mapped to keys in y array.
    # standardised_labels also removes the error that is raised if the labels are floats. E.g. 1.0; element
    # cannot be called by an integer index e.g y[1.0] - throws an index error.
    targets = np.vectorize(standardised_labels.get)(y) # map the dictionary values to array.
    return np.eye(nb_classes)[targets]
