Univariate Selection

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.feature_selection import SelectKBest
from sklearn.feature_selection import chi2

DATA_FILE = 'sample-data/mobile-price-classification/train.csv'

uv_data = pd.read_csv(DATA_FILE)

uv_data.head()

uv_x = uv_data.iloc[:, 0:20] # Read in the first 20 columns
uv_y = uv_data.iloc[:, -1]   # Read in the last column

feature_count = 10                   # Number of features we want to select

scores = SelectKBest(score_func=chi2, k = 'all').fit(uv_x, uv_y).scores_

df_fit  = pd.DataFrame(scores)        # Scores as DF
df_cols = pd.DataFrame(uv_x.columns)  # Column names as DF

df_scores = pd.concat([df_cols, df_fit], axis=1)
df_scores.columns = ['Feature', 'Score']

df_scores.nlargest(feature_count, 'Score')

Feature Selection

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.ensemble import ExtraTreesClassifier
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fs_data = pd.read_csv(DATA_FILE)
fs_x = fs_data.iloc[:,0:20] 
fs_y = fs_data.iloc[:,-1]    

classifier = ExtraTreesClassifier()  # Create classifier instance
classifier.fit(fs_x, fs_y)           # Train the Classifier 

fs_importance = classifier.feature_importances_

print(fs_importance)

df_importance = pd.Series(fs_importance, index=fs_x.columns)
df_importance.nlargest

df_importance.nlargest(10).plot(kind='barh')
plt.show()

Normal Correlation Heatmap

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns

cm_data = pd.read_csv(DATA_FILE)

cm_data.head()

cm_x = cm_data.iloc[:,0:20] # Extract feature columns
cm_y = cm_data.iloc[:,-1]   # Extract target column

correlation_matrix = cm_data.corr()

correlation_matrix

top_correlation_features = correlation_matrix.index
plt.figure(figsize=(20,20))

_ = sns.heatmap(cm_data[top_correlation_features].corr(), annot=True, cmap="RdYlGn")

Or as the folllowing Function:

def plot_df_correlation(df):
    plt.figure(figsize=(20,20))
    return sns.heatmap(df[df.corr().index].corr(), annot=True, cmap="coolwarm")

Simplified One-Hot Encoding

Only encode values that occure more than a specific threshold

domain_counts = df_domain_invoice['Email Domain'].value_counts()

replace_domains = domain_counts[domain_counts < 100].index

# on-hot encoding of Domains
df_domain_invoice = pd.get_dummies(df_domain_invoice['Email Domain']
                                           .replace(replace_domains, 'other_'), 
                                       columns = ['Email Domain'], 
                                       drop_first=False)
