如果你在数据框架中有数值和类别两种类型的数据 你可以使用:这里X是我的数据框架，有分类变量和数值变量

from sklearn import preprocessing
le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()

for i in range(0,X.shape[1]):
    if X.dtypes[i]=='object':
        X[X.columns[i]] = le.fit_transform(X[X.columns[i]])

注意:如果你对转换它们不感兴趣，这个技巧是很好的。

这是一年半后的事实，但我也需要能够。transform()多个熊猫数据帧列一次(以及能够。inverse_transform()他们)。这扩展了上面@PriceHardman的优秀建议:

例子:

如果df和df_copy()是混合类型的pandas数据帧，你可以将MultiColumnLabelEncoder()应用到dtype=object列上，方法如下:

# get `object` columns
df_object_columns = df.iloc[:, :].select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns
df_copy_object_columns = df_copy.iloc[:, :].select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns

# instantiate `MultiColumnLabelEncoder`
mcle = MultiColumnLabelEncoder(columns=object_columns)

# fit to `df` data
mcle.fit(df)

# transform the `df` data
mcle.transform(df)

# returns output like below
array([[1, 0, 0, ..., 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       ..., 
       [3, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],

# transform `df_copy` data
mcle.transform(df_copy)

# returns output like below (assuming the respective columns 
# of `df_copy` contain the same unique values as that particular 
# column in `df`
array([[1, 0, 0, ..., 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       ..., 
       [3, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],

# inverse `df` data
mcle.inverse_transform(df)

# outputs data like below
array([['August', 'Friday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'CA'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['August', 'Monday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ..., 
       ['February', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['March', 'Tuesday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ']], dtype=object)

# inverse `df_copy` data
mcle.inverse_transform(df_copy)

# outputs data like below
array([['August', 'Friday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'CA'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['August', 'Monday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ..., 
       ['February', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['March', 'Tuesday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ']], dtype=object)

你可以通过索引访问单独的列类、列标签和用于适合每个列的列编码器:

mcle.all_classes_ mcle.all_encoders_ mcle.all_labels_

使用Neuraxle

TLDR;你可以在这里使用flatforeach包装类简单地转换你的df，如:

使用这种方法，您的标签编码器将能够在常规的scikit-learn Pipeline中适应和转换。让我们简单地导入:

from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
from neuraxle.steps.column_transformer import ColumnTransformer
from neuraxle.steps.loop import FlattenForEach

列的共享编码器相同:

下面是一个共享的LabelEncoder将如何应用于所有数据来编码:

    p = FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)

结果:

    p, predicted_output = p.fit_transform(df.values)
    expected_output = np.array([
        [6, 7, 6, 8, 7, 7],
        [1, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3],
        [4, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2]
    ]).transpose()
    assert np.array_equal(predicted_output, expected_output)

每列不同的编码器:

这里是第一个独立的LabelEncoder将如何应用于宠物，第二个将为列的所有者和位置共享。所以准确地说，我们这里有一个不同的和共享的标签编码器的组合:

    p = ColumnTransformer([
        # A different encoder will be used for column 0 with name "pets":
        (0, FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)),
        # A shared encoder will be used for column 1 and 2, "owner" and "location":
        ([1, 2], FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True)),
    ], n_dimension=2)

结果:

    p, predicted_output = p.fit_transform(df.values)
    expected_output = np.array([
        [0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1],
        [1, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3],
        [4, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2]
    ]).transpose()
    assert np.array_equal(predicted_output, expected_output)

如果我们有单列来做标签编码和它的逆变换，当python中有多列时，很容易做到这一点

def stringtocategory(dataset):
    '''
    @author puja.sharma
    @see The function label encodes the object type columns and gives label      encoded and inverse tranform of the label encoded data
    @param dataset dataframe on whoes column the label encoding has to be done
    @return label encoded and inverse tranform of the label encoded data.
   ''' 
   data_original = dataset[:]
   data_tranformed = dataset[:]
   for y in dataset.columns:
       #check the dtype of the column object type contains strings or chars
       if (dataset[y].dtype == object):
          print("The string type features are  : " + y)
          le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
          le.fit(dataset[y].unique())
          #label encoded data
          data_tranformed[y] = le.transform(dataset[y])
          #inverse label transform  data
          data_original[y] = le.inverse_transform(data_tranformed[y])
   return data_tranformed,data_original

你可以很容易地做到，

df.apply(LabelEncoder().fit_transform)

EDIT2:

在scikit-learn 0.20中，推荐的方法是

OneHotEncoder().fit_transform(df)

因为OneHotEncoder现在支持字符串输入。 使用ColumnTransformer可以只对某些列应用OneHotEncoder。

编辑:

由于这个最初的答案是一年多前的，并获得了许多赞(包括赏金)，我可能应该进一步扩展它。

对于inverse_transform和transform，你需要做一点修改。

from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(LabelEncoder)

这样，您现在将所有列LabelEncoder保留为字典。

# Encoding the variable
fit = df.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].fit_transform(x))

# Inverse the encoded
fit.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].inverse_transform(x))

# Using the dictionary to label future data
df.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].transform(x))

MOAR编辑:

使用Neuraxle的flatforeach步骤，也可以在一次对所有平坦数据使用相同的LabelEncoder:

FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True).fit_transform(df)

要根据数据列使用单独的LabelEncoders，或者如果只有一些数据列需要进行标签编码，而不需要其他数据列，那么使用ColumnTransformer是一种解决方案，它允许对列选择和LabelEncoder实例进行更多控制。

使用dict()实现LabelEncoder()多列的简单方法:

from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
le_dict = {col: LabelEncoder() for col in columns }
for col in columns:
    le_dict[col].fit_transform(df[col])

并且你可以使用这个le_dict来对其他列进行labelEncode:

le_dict[col].transform(df_another[col])
