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_

我查看了LabelEncoder的源代码(https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/master/sklearn/preprocessing/label.py)。它基于一组numpy变换，其中一个是np.unique()。这个函数只接受一维数组输入。(如果我说错了请指正)。

非常粗略的想法…… 首先，确定哪些列需要LabelEncoder，然后循环遍历每个列。

def cat_var(df): 
    """Identify categorical features. 

    Parameters
    ----------
    df: original df after missing operations 

    Returns
    -------
    cat_var_df: summary df with col index and col name for all categorical vars
    """
    col_type = df.dtypes
    col_names = list(df)

    cat_var_index = [i for i, x in enumerate(col_type) if x=='object']
    cat_var_name = [x for i, x in enumerate(col_names) if i in cat_var_index]

    cat_var_df = pd.DataFrame({'cat_ind': cat_var_index, 
                               'cat_name': cat_var_name})

    return cat_var_df



from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder 

def column_encoder(df, cat_var_list):
    """Encoding categorical feature in the dataframe

    Parameters
    ----------
    df: input dataframe 
    cat_var_list: categorical feature index and name, from cat_var function

    Return
    ------
    df: new dataframe where categorical features are encoded
    label_list: classes_ attribute for all encoded features 
    """

    label_list = []
    cat_var_df = cat_var(df)
    cat_list = cat_var_df.loc[:, 'cat_name']

    for index, cat_feature in enumerate(cat_list): 

        le = LabelEncoder()

        le.fit(df.loc[:, cat_feature])    
        label_list.append(list(le.classes_))

        df.loc[:, cat_feature] = le.transform(df.loc[:, cat_feature])

    return df, label_list

返回的df将是编码后的df, label_list将显示所有这些值在相应列中的含义。 这是我为工作编写的数据处理脚本的一个片段。如果你觉得还有什么改进的地方，请告诉我。

编辑: 这里只想提一下，上述方法在处理数据帧时不会遗漏最佳数据。不确定它是如何工作的数据帧包含丢失的数据。(在执行上述方法之前，我已经处理了缺失过程)

这并没有直接回答你的问题(Naputipulu Jon和PriceHardman对此有精彩的回答)

但是，对于一些分类任务等，您可以使用

pandas.get_dummies(input_df) 

这可以输入带有分类数据的数据框架，并返回带有二进制值的数据框架。变量值被编码到结果数据框架中的列名中。更多的

主要使用@Alexander回答，但必须做一些更改-

cols_need_mapped = ['col1', 'col2']

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

for c in cols_need_mapped :
    df[c] = df[c].map(mapper[c])

然后，为了将来重用，你可以将输出保存到json文档中，当你需要它时，你可以读入并使用.map()函数，就像我上面所做的那样。

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。

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder

train=pd.read_csv('.../train.csv')

#X=train.loc[:,['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class']].values
# Create a label encoder object 
def MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,dataframe):
    for i in columnlist:

        labelencoder_X=LabelEncoder()
        dataframe[i]=labelencoder_X.fit_transform(dataframe[i])
columnlist=['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class','source_type']
MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,train)

在这里，我正在从位置读取一个csv，在函数中，我正在传递列列表，我想要labelencode和dataframe，我想应用这个。
