Data Manipulation

H2OFrame

class h2o.H2OFrame(python_obj=None, destination_frame=None, header=0, separator=', ', column_names=None, column_types=None, na_strings=None, skipped_columns=None)

Primary data store for H2O.

H2OFrame is similar to pandas’ DataFrame, or R’s data.frame. One of the critical distinction is that the data is generally not held in memory, instead it is located on a (possibly remote) H2O cluster, and thus H2OFrame represents a mere handle to that data.

Create a new H2OFrame object, possibly from some other object.

Parameters

• python_obj –

  object that will be converted to an H2OFrame. This could have multiple types:

  • None: create an empty H2OFrame

  • A list/tuple of strings or numbers: create a single-column H2OFrame containing the contents of this list.

  • A dictionary of {name: list} pairs: create an H2OFrame with multiple columns, each column having the provided name and contents from list. If the source dictionary is not an OrderedDict, then the columns in the H2OFrame may appear shuffled.

  • A list of lists of strings/numbers: construct an H2OFrame from a rectangular table of values, with inner lists treated as rows of the table. I.e. H2OFrame([[1, 'a'], [2, 'b'], [3, 'c']]) will create a frame with 3 rows and 2 columns, one numeric and one string.

  • A Pandas dataframe, or a Numpy ndarray: create a matching H2OFrame.

  • A Scipy sparse matrix: create a matching sparse H2OFrame.

• header (int) – if python_obj is a list of lists, this parameter can be used to indicate whether the first row of the data represents headers. The value of -1 means the first row is data, +1 means the first row is the headers, 0 (default) allows H2O to guess whether the first row contains data or headers.

• column_names (List[str]) – explicit list of column names for the new H2OFrame. This will override any column names derived from the data. If the python_obj does not contain explicit column names, and this parameter is not given, then the columns will be named “C1”, “C2”, “C3”, etc.

• column_types – explicit column types for the new H2OFrame. This could be either a list of types for each column, or a dictionary of {column name: column type} pairs. In the latter case you may override types for only few columns, and let H2O choose the types of the rest.

• na_strings – List of strings in the input data that should be interpreted as missing values. This could be given on a per-column basis, either as a list-of-lists, or as a dictionary {column name: list of nas}.

• destination_frame (str) – (internal) name of the target DKV key in the H2O backend.

• separator (str) – (deprecated)

convert_H2OFrame_2_DMatrix(predictors, yresp, h2oXGBoostModel)

This method requires that you import the following toolboxes: xgboost, pandas, numpy and scipy.sparse.

This method will convert an H2OFrame to a DMatrix that can be used by native XGBoost. The H2OFrame contains numerical and enum columns alone. Note that H2O one-hot-encoding introduces a missing(NA) column. There can be NAs in any columns.

Follow the steps below to compare H2OXGBoost and native XGBoost:

1. Train the H2OXGBoost model with H2OFrame trainFile and generate a prediction: h2oModelD = H2OXGBoostEstimator(**h2oParamsD) # parameters specified as a dict() h2oModelD.train(x=myX, y=y, training_frame=trainFile) # train with H2OFrame trainFile h2oPredict = h2oPredictD = h2oModelD.predict(trainFile)

2. Derive the DMatrix from H2OFrame: nativeDMatrix = trainFile.convert_H2OFrame_2_DMatrix(myX, y, h2oModelD)

3. Derive the parameters for native XGBoost: nativeParams = h2oModelD.convert_H2OXGBoostParams_2_XGBoostParams()

4. Train your native XGBoost model and generate a prediction: nativeModel = xgb.train(params=nativeParams[0], dtrain=nativeDMatrix, num_boost_round=nativeParams[1]) nativePredict = nativeModel.predict(data=nativeDMatrix, ntree_limit=nativeParams[1].

5. Compare the predictions h2oPredict from H2OXGBoost, nativePredict from native XGBoost.

Parameters

• h2oFrame – H2OFrame to be converted to DMatrix for native XGBoost

• predictors – List of predictor columns, can be column names or indices

• yresp – response column, can be column index or name

• h2oXGBoostModel – H2OXGboost model that are built with the same H2OFrame as input earlier

Returns

DMatrix that can be an input to a native XGBoost model

cor(y=None, na_rm=False, use=None, method='Pearson')

Compute the correlation matrix of one or two H2OFrames.

Parameters

• y (H2OFrame) – If this parameter is provided, then compute correlation between the columns of y and the columns of the current frame. If this parameter is not given, then just compute the correlation matrix for the columns of the current frame.

• use (str) –

  A string indicating how to handle missing values. This could be one of the following:

  • "everything": outputs NaNs whenever one of its contributing observations is missing

  • "all.obs": presence of missing observations will throw an error

  • "complete.obs": discards missing values along with all observations in their rows so that only complete observations are used

• na_rm (bool) – an alternative to use: when this is True then default value for use is "everything"; and if False then default use is "complete.obs". This parameter has no effect if use is given explicitly.

• method (str) – Which method to use - value must be in [“Pearson”, “Spearman”]. Defaults to “Pearson”.

Returns

An H2OFrame of the correlation matrix of the columns of this frame (if y is not given), or with the columns of y (if y is given). However when this frame and y are both single rows or single columns, then the correlation is returned as a scalar.

merge(other, all_x=False, all_y=False, by_x=None, by_y=None, method='auto')

Merge two datasets based on common column names. We do not support all_x=True and all_y=True. Only one can be True or none is True. The default merge method is auto and it will default to the radix method. The radix method will return the correct merge result regardless of duplicated rows in the right frame. In addition, the radix method can perform merge even if you have string columns in your frames. If there are duplicated rows in your rite frame, they will not be included if you use the hash method. The hash method cannot perform merge if you have string columns in your left frame. Hence, we consider the radix method superior to the hash method and is the default method to use.

Parameters

• other (H2OFrame) – The frame to merge to the current one. By default, must have at least one column in common with this frame, and all columns in common are used as the merge key. If you want to use only a subset of the columns in common, rename the other columns so the columns are unique in the merged result.

• all_x (bool) – If True, include all rows from the left/self frame

• all_y (bool) – If True, include all rows from the right/other frame

• by_x – list of columns in the current frame to use as a merge key.

• by_y – list of columns in the other frame to use as a merge key. Should have the same number of columns as in the by_x list.

• method – string representing the merge method, one of auto(default), radix or hash.

Returns

New H2OFrame with the result of merging the current frame with the other frame.

Examples

>>> col = 10000* [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 0]
>>> fr = h2o.H2OFrame(list(zip(*[col])))
>>> fr.set_names(['rank'])
>>> mapping = h2o.H2OFrame(list(zip(*[[0,1,2,3],[6,7,8,9]])))
>>> mapping.set_names(['rank', 'outcome'])
>>> merged = fr.merge(mapping,
...                   all_x=True,
...                   all_y=False,
...                   by_x=None,

static mktime(year=1970, month=0, day=0, hour=0, minute=0, second=0, msec=0)

Deprecated, use moment() instead.

This function was left for backward-compatibility purposes only. It is not very stable, and counterintuitively uses 0-based months and days, so “January 4th, 2001” should be entered as mktime(2001, 0, 3).

Examples

>>> from random import randrange
>>> import numpy as np
>>> python_lists = np.random.randint(-5,5, (1000, 2))

static moment(year=None, month=None, day=None, hour=None, minute=None, second=None, msec=None, date=None, time=None)

Create a time column from individual components.

Each parameter should be either an integer, or a single-column H2OFrame containing the corresponding time parts for each row.

The “date” part of the timestamp can be specified using either the tuple (year, month, day), or an explicit date parameter. The “time” part of the timestamp is optional, but can be specified either via the time parameter, or via the (hour, minute, second, msec) tuple.

Parameters

• year – the year part of the constructed date

• month – the month part of the constructed date

• day – the day-of-the-month part of the constructed date

• hour – the hours part of the constructed date

• minute – the minutes part of the constructed date

• second – the seconds part of the constructed date

• msec – the milliseconds part of the constructed date

• date (date) – construct the timestamp from the Python’s native datetime.date (or datetime.datetime) object. If the object passed is of type date, then you can specify the time part using either the time argument, or hour … msec arguments (but not both). If the object passed is of type datetime, then no other arguments can be provided.

• time (time) – construct the timestamp from this Python’s native datetime.time object. This argument cannot be used alone, it should be supplemented with either date argument, or year … day tuple.

Returns

H2OFrame with one column containing the date constructed from the provided arguments.

Pivot the frame designated by the three columns: index, column, and value. Index and column should be of type enum, int, or time. For cases of multiple indexes for a column label, the aggregation method is to pick the first occurrence in the data frame.

Parameters

• index – Index is a column that will be the row label

• column – The labels for the columns in the pivoted Frame

• value – The column of values for the given index and column label

Returns

Returns a new H2OFrame with pivoted columns.

Parameters

na_rm (bool) – If True then NAs will be ignored during the computation.

Returns

product of all values in the frame (a float)

Examples

>>> import random

quantile(prob=None, combine_method='interpolate', weights_column=None)

Compute quantiles.

Parameters

• prob (List[float]) – list of probabilities for which quantiles should be computed.

• combine_method (str) – for even samples this setting determines how to combine quantiles. This can be one of "interpolate", "average", "low", "high".

• weights_column – optional weights for each row. If not given, all rows are assumed to have equal importance. This parameter can be either the name of column containing the observation weights in this frame, or a single-column separate H2OFrame of observation weights.

Returns

a new H2OFrame containing the quantiles and probabilities.

Examples

>>> data = [[random.uniform(-10000,10000)] for c in range(1000)]

rank_within_group_by(group_by_cols, sort_cols, ascending=[], new_col_name='New_Rank_column', sort_cols_sorted=False)

This function will add a new column rank where the ranking is produced as follows:

1. Sorts the H2OFrame by columns sorted in by columns specified in group_by_cols and sort_cols in the directions specified by the ascending for the sort_cols. The sort directions for the group_by_cols are ascending only.

2. A new rank column is added to the frame which will contain a rank assignment performed next. The user can choose to assign a name to this new column. The default name is New_Rank_column.

3. For each groupby groups, a rank is assigned to the row starting from 1, 2, … to the end of that group.

4. If sort_cols_sorted is TRUE, a final sort on the frame will be performed frame according to the sort_cols and the sort directions in ascending. If sort_cols_sorted is FALSE (by default), the frame from step 3 will be returned as is with no extra sort. This may provide a small speedup if desired.

Parameters

• group_by_cols – The columns to group on (either a single column name/index, or a list of column names or column indices

• sort_cols – The columns to sort on (either a single column name/index, or a list of column names or column indices

• ascending – Optional Boolean array to denote sorting direction for each sorting column. True for ascending, False for descending. Default is ascending sort. Sort direction for enums will be ignored.

• new_col_name – Optional String to denote the new column names. Default to New_Rank_column.

• sort_cols_sorted – Optional Boolean to denote if the returned frame should be sorted according to sort_cols and sort directions specified in ascending. Default is False.

Returns

A new Frame with new rank (sorted by columns in sort_cols) column within the grouping specified by the group_by_cols.

rep_len(length_out)

Create a new frame replicating the current frame.

If the source frame has a single column, then the new frame will be replicating rows and its dimensions will be length_out x 1. However if the source frame has more than 1 column, then then new frame will be replicating data in columnwise direction, and its dimensions will be nrows x length_out, where nrows is the number of rows in the source frame. Also note that if length_out is smaller than the corresponding dimension of the source frame, then the new frame will actually be a truncated version of the original.

Parameters

length_out (int) – Number of columns (rows) of the resulting H2OFrame

Returns

new H2OFrame with repeated data from the current frame.

split_frame(ratios=None, destination_frames=None, seed=None)

Split a frame into distinct subsets of size determined by the given ratios.

The number of subsets is always 1 more than the number of ratios given. Note that this does not give an exact split. H2O is designed to be efficient on big data using a probabilistic splitting method rather than an exact split. For example when specifying a split of 0.75/0.25, H2O will produce a test/train split with an expected value of 0.75/0.25 rather than exactly 0.75/0.25. On small datasets, the sizes of the resulting splits will deviate from the expected value more than on big data, where they will be very close to exact.

Parameters

• ratios (List[float]) – The fractions of rows for each split.

• destination_frames (List[str]) – The names of the split frames.

• seed (int) – seed for the random number generator

Returns

A list of H2OFrames

Parameters

• pattern (str) – A regular expression.

• replacement (str) – A replacement string.

• ignore_case (bool) – If True then pattern will match case-insensitively.

Returns

an H2OFrame with all values matching pattern replaced with replacement.

substring(start_index, end_index=None)

For each string, return a new string that is a substring of the original string.

If end_index is not specified, then the substring extends to the end of the original string. If the start_index is longer than the length of the string, or is greater than or equal to the end_index, an empty string is returned. Negative start_index is coerced to 0.

Parameters

• start_index (int) – The index of the original string at which to start the substring, inclusive.

• end_index (int) – The index of the original string at which to end the substring, exclusive.

Returns

An H2OFrame containing the specified substrings.

sum(skipna=True, axis=0, **kwargs)

Compute the frame’s sum by-column (or by-row).

Parameters

• skipna (bool) – If True (default), then NAs are ignored during the computation. Otherwise presence of NAs renders the entire result NA.

• axis (int) – Direction of sum computation. If 0 (default), then sum is computed columnwise, and the result is a frame with 1 row and number of columns as in the original frame. If 1, then sum is computed rowwise and the result is a frame with 1 column (called “sum”), and number of rows equal to the number of rows in the original frame. For row or column sums, the return_frame parameter must be True.

• return_frame (bool) – A boolean parameter that indicates whether to return an H2O frame or one single aggregated value. Default is False.

Returns

either an aggregated value with sum of values per-column (old semantic); or an H2OFrame containing sum of values per-column/per-row in the original frame (new semantic). The new semantic is triggered by either providing the return_frame=True parameter, or having the general.allow_breaking_changed config option turned on.

var(y=None, na_rm=False, use=None)

Compute the variance-covariance matrix of one or two H2OFrames.

Parameters

• y (H2OFrame) – If this parameter is given, then a covariance matrix between the columns of the target frame and the columns of y is computed. If this parameter is not provided then the covariance matrix of the target frame is returned. If target frame has just a single column, then return the scalar variance instead of the matrix. Single rows are treated as single columns.

• use (str) –

  A string indicating how to handle missing values. This could be one of the following:

  • "everything": outputs NaNs whenever one of its contributing observations is missing

  • "all.obs": presence of missing observations will throw an error

  • "complete.obs": discards missing values along with all observations in their rows so that only complete observations are used

• na_rm (bool) – an alternative to use: when this is True then default value for use is "everything"; and if False then default use is "complete.obs". This parameter has no effect if use is given explicitly.

Returns

An H2OFrame of the covariance matrix of the columns of this frame (if y is not given), or with the columns of y (if y is given). However when this frame and y are both single rows or single columns, then the variance is returned as a scalar.

Examples

>>> iris = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> iris.var(y=iris, na_rm=True, use=None)

GroupBy

class h2o.group_by.GroupBy(fr, by)

Bases: object

A class that represents the group by operation on an H2OFrame.

The returned groups are sorted by the natural group-by column sort.

Parameters

• fr (H2OFrame) – H2OFrame that you want the group by operation to be performed on.

• by – by can be a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns denoting the set of columns to group by.

Sample usage:

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len",
...                                 "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.sum(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mean(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()

Any number of aggregations may be chained together in this manner. Note that once the aggregation operations are complete, calling the GroupBy object with a new set of aggregations will yield no effect. You must generate a new GroupBy object in order to apply a new aggregation on it. In addition, certain aggregations are only defined for numerical or categorical columns. An error will be thrown for calling aggregation on the wrong data types.

If no arguments are given to the aggregation (e.g. “max” in the above example), then it is assumed that the aggregation should apply to all columns but the group by columns. However, operations will not be performed on String columns. They will be skipped.

All GroupBy aggregations take parameter na, which controls treatment of NA values during the calculation. It can be one of:

• “all” (default) – any NAs are used in the calculation as-is; which usually results in the final result being NA too.

• “ignore” – NA entries are not included in calculations, but the total number of entries is taken as the total number of rows. For example, mean([1, 2, 3, nan], na=”ignore”) will produce 1.5. In addition, median([1, 2, 3, nan], na=”ignore”) will first sort the row as [nan, 1, 2, 3]. Next, the median is the mean of the two middle values in this case producing a median of 1.5.

• “rm” entries are skipped during the calculations, reducing the total effective count of entries. For example, mean([1, 2, 3, nan], na=”rm”) will produce 2. The median in this case will be 2 as the middle value.

Variance (var) and standard deviation (sd) are the sample (not population) statistics.

count(na='all')

Count the number of rows in each group of a GroupBy object.

Parameters

na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len",
...                                 "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.count
>>> grouped.get_frame()

property frame

same as get_frame().

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.frame

get_frame()

Return the resulting H2OFrame containing the result(s) of aggregation(s) of the group by.

The number of rows denote the number of groups generated by the group by operation.

The number of columns depend on the number of aggregations performed, the number of columns specified in the col parameter. Generally, expect the number of columns to be

(len(col) of aggregation 0 + len(col) of aggregation 1 +…+ len(col) of aggregation n) x (number of groups of the GroupBy object) +1 (for group-by group names).

Note:

• the count aggregation only generates one column;

• if col is a str or int, len(col) = 1.

Parameters

• col – col can be None (default), a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns

• na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.sum(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mode(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()

sd(col=None, na='all')

Calculate the standard deviation of each column specified in col for each group of a GroupBy object. If no col is given, compute the standard deviation among all numeric columns other than those being grouped on.

Parameters

• col – col can be None (default), a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns

• na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.sd(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mean(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()

ss(col=None, na='all')

Calculate the sum of squares of each column specified in col for each group of a GroupBy object. If no col is given, compute the sum of squares among all numeric columns other than those being grouped on.

Parameters

• col – col can be None (default), a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns

• na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.ss(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mean(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()

sum(col=None, na='all')

Calculate the sum of each column specified in col for each group of a GroupBy object. If no col is given, compute the sum among all numeric columns other than those being grouped on.

Parameters

• col – col can be None (default), a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns

• na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.sum(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mean(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()

var(col=None, na='all')

Calculate the variance of each column specified in col for each group of a GroupBy object. If no col is given, compute the variance among all numeric columns other than those being grouped on.

Parameters

• col – col can be None (default), a column name (str) or an index (int) of a single column, or a list for multiple columns

• na (str) – one of ‘rm’, ‘ignore’ or ‘all’ (default).

Returns

the original GroupBy object (self), for ease of constructing chained operations.

Examples

>>> my_frame = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")
>>> grouped = my_frame.group_by(by=["sepal_len", "sepal_wid"])
>>> grouped.var(col="sepal_len",
...             na="all").mean(col="class", na="all").max()
>>> grouped.get_frame()
