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)

文档中有更多选项:http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/compose.html#columntransformer-for-heterogeneous-data

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

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_

这是我解决你问题的办法。为了将包含文本的数据帧列转换为编码值，只需使用我的函数text_to_numbers，它返回LE的字典。Key是列LabelEncoder()作为值的列名。

def text_to_numbers(df):
        le_dict = dict()
        for i in df.columns:
            if df[i].dtype not in ["float64", "bool", "int64"]:
                le_dict[i] = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
                df[i] = le_dict[i].fit_transform(df[i])
    
        return df, le_dict

下面的函数将使保留原始的未编码数据帧成为可能。

 def numbers_to_text(df, le_dict):
        for i in le_dict.keys():
            df[i] = le_dict[i].inverse_transform(df[i])
    
        return df

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。

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.]])
