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_

不，LabelEncoder不这样做。它接受类标签的1维数组并生成1维数组。它的设计目的是处理分类问题中的类标签，而不是任意数据，任何强迫它用于其他用途的尝试都需要代码将实际问题转换为它解决的问题(并将解决方案转换回原始空间)。

假设你只是想获得一个sklearn.预处理. labelencoder()对象，可以用来表示你的列，你所要做的就是:

le.fit(df.columns)

在上面的代码中，每一列都有一个唯一的数字。 更精确地说，你将得到df的1:1映射。列到le.transform(df.columns.get_values())。要获得列的编码，只需将其传递给le.transform(…)。作为一个例子，下面将得到每一列的编码:

le.transform(df.columns.get_values())

假设你想为你所有的行标签创建一个sklearn.预处理. labelencoder()对象，你可以这样做:

le.fit([y for x in df.get_values() for y in x])

在本例中，您很可能拥有非唯一的行标签(如您的问题所示)。要查看编码器创建了哪些类，可以执行le.classes_。你会注意到，这应该具有与set中相同的元素(y for x in df.get_values() for y in x)。再次使用le.transform(…)将行标签转换为编码标签。例如，如果您想检索df. xml文件中第一列的标签。列数组和第一行，你可以这样做:

le.transform([df.get_value(0, df.columns[0])])

你在评论中提出的问题有点复杂，但仍然可以 完成:

le.fit([str(z) for z in set((x[0], y) for x in df.iteritems() for y in x[1])])

上面的代码实现了以下功能:

使所有(列，行)对的唯一组合 将每个对表示为元组的字符串版本。这是克服LabelEncoder类不支持元组作为类名的一种变通方法。 将新项目贴合到LabelEncoder。

现在要使用这个新模型就有点复杂了。假设我们想要提取在前一个例子中查找的同一项的表示(df中的第一列)。列和第一行)，我们可以这样做:

le.transform([str((df.columns[0], df.get_value(0, df.columns[0])))])

记住，现在每个查找都是一个元组的字符串表示 包含(列、行)。

下面是我一次性转换多列的解决方案，以及精确的inverse_transform

from sklearn import preprocessing
columns = ['buying','maint','lug_boot','safety','cls']  # columns names where transform is required
for X in columns:
  exec(f'le_{X} = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()')  #create label encoder with name "le_X", where X is column name
  exec(f'df.{X} = le_{X}.fit_transform(df.{X})')  #execute fit transform for column X with respective lable encoder "le_X", where X is column name
df.head()  # to display transformed results

for X in columns:
  exec(f'df.{X} = le_{X}.inverse_transform(df.{X})')  #execute inverse_transform for column X with respective lable encoder "le_X", where X is column name
df.head() # to display Inverse transformed results of df

我们可以使用scikit learn中的OrdinalEncoder来代替LabelEncoder，它允许多列编码。

将分类特征编码为整数数组。 这个转换器的输入应该是一个类似数组的整数或字符串，表示分类(离散)特征所取的值。特征被转换为序号整数。这将导致每个特性生成一列整数(0到n_categories - 1)。

>>> from sklearn.preprocessing import OrdinalEncoder
>>> enc = OrdinalEncoder()
>>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', 2]]
>>> enc.fit(X)
OrdinalEncoder()
>>> enc.categories_
[array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
>>> enc.transform([['Female', 3], ['Male', 1]])
array([[0., 2.],
       [1., 0.]])

描述和示例都是从它的文档页面复制的，你可以在这里找到:

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.preprocessing.OrdinalEncoder.html#sklearn.preprocessing.OrdinalEncoder

如果你拥有object类型的所有特征，那么上面写的第一个答案很好https://stackoverflow.com/a/31939145/5840973。

但是，假设我们有混合类型的列。然后，我们可以以编程方式获取类型对象类型名称的特征列表，然后对它们进行标签编码。

#Fetch features of type Object
objFeatures = dataframe.select_dtypes(include="object").columns

#Iterate a loop for features of type object
from sklearn import preprocessing
le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()

for feat in objFeatures:
    dataframe[feat] = le.fit_transform(dataframe[feat].astype(str))
 

dataframe.info()
