这个怎么样?

def MultiColumnLabelEncode(choice, columns, X):
    LabelEncoders = []
    if choice == 'encode':
        for i in enumerate(columns):
            LabelEncoders.append(LabelEncoder())
        i=0    
        for cols in columns:
            X[:, cols] = LabelEncoders[i].fit_transform(X[:, cols])
            i += 1
    elif choice == 'decode': 
        for cols in columns:
            X[:, cols] = LabelEncoders[i].inverse_transform(X[:, cols])
            i += 1
    else:
        print('Please select correct parameter "choice". Available parameters: encode/decode')

这不是最有效的，但它工作，它是超级简单。

我们不需要LabelEncoder。

您可以将列转换为类别，然后获取它们的代码。我使用下面的字典推导将此过程应用于每一列，并将结果包装回具有相同索引和列名的相同形状的数据框架中。

>>> pd.DataFrame({col: df[col].astype('category').cat.codes for col in df}, index=df.index)
   location  owner  pets
0         1      1     0
1         0      2     1
2         0      0     0
3         1      1     2
4         1      3     1
5         0      2     1

要创建映射字典，你可以使用字典理解式枚举类别:

>>> {col: {n: cat for n, cat in enumerate(df[col].astype('category').cat.categories)} 
     for col in df}

{'location': {0: 'New_York', 1: 'San_Diego'},
 'owner': {0: 'Brick', 1: 'Champ', 2: 'Ron', 3: 'Veronica'},
 'pets': {0: 'cat', 1: 'dog', 2: 'monkey'}}

在这里和其他地方进行了大量的搜索和实验后，我认为你的答案是:

pd.DataFrame(列= df.columns, data = LabelEncoder () .fit_transform (df.values.flatten ()) .reshape (df.shape))

这将跨列保留类别名称:

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder

df = pd.DataFrame([['A','B','C','D','E','F','G','I','K','H'],
                   ['A','E','H','F','G','I','K','','',''],
                   ['A','C','I','F','H','G','','','','']], 
                  columns=['A1', 'A2', 'A3','A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7', 'A8', 'A9', 'A10'])

pd.DataFrame(columns=df.columns, data=LabelEncoder().fit_transform(df.values.flatten()).reshape(df.shape))

    A1  A2  A3  A4  A5  A6  A7  A8  A9  A10
0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   9   10  8
1   1   5   8   6   7   9   10  0   0   0
2   1   3   9   6   8   7   0   0   0   0

从scikit-learn 0.20开始，你可以使用sklearn.compose.ColumnTransformer和sklearn.预处理. onehotencoder:

如果你只有分类变量，OneHotEncoder直接:

from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder

OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore').fit_transform(df)

如果你有异构类型的特性:

from sklearn.compose import make_column_transformer
from sklearn.preprocessing import RobustScaler
from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder

categorical_columns = ['pets', 'owner', 'location']
numerical_columns = ['age', 'weigth', 'height']
column_trans = make_column_transformer(
    (categorical_columns, OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore'),
    (numerical_columns, RobustScaler())
column_trans.fit_transform(df)

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])
