h2o.interaction: Categorical Interaction Feature Creation in H2O

Description

Creates a data frame in H2O with n-th order interaction features between categorical columns, as specified by the user.

Usage

h2o.interaction(
  data,
  destination_frame,
  factors,
  pairwise,
  max_factors,
  min_occurrence
)

Value

Returns an H2OFrame object.

Arguments

data

An H2OFrame object containing the categorical columns.

destination_frame

A string indicating the destination key. If empty, this will be auto-generated by H2O.

factors

Factor columns (either indices or column names).

pairwise

Whether to create pairwise interactions between factors (otherwise create one higher-order interaction). Only applicable if there are 3 or more factors.

max_factors

Max. number of factor levels in pair-wise interaction terms (if enforced, one extra catch-all factor will be made)

min_occurrence

Min. occurrence threshold for factor levels in pair-wise interaction terms

Examples

h2o.init()
