无法在简单示例上从spark ML运行RandomForestClassifier

Question

我尝试从spark.ml包（1.5.2版本）运行实验性RandomForestClassifier。我使用的数据集来自Spark ML指南中的LogisticRegression示例。

这是代码：

import org.apache.spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegression
import org.apache.spark.ml.param.ParamMap
import org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.{Vector, Vectors}
import org.apache.spark.sql.Row
// Prepare training data from a list of (label, features) tuples.
val training = sqlContext.createDataFrame(Seq(
  (1.0, Vectors.dense(0.0, 1.1, 0.1)),
  (0.0, Vectors.dense(2.0, 1.0, -1.0)),
  (0.0, Vectors.dense(2.0, 1.3, 1.0)),
  (1.0, Vectors.dense(0.0, 1.2, -0.5))
)).toDF("label", "features")
val rf = new RandomForestClassifier()
val model = rf.fit(training)

这是错误，我得到：

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: RandomForestClassifier was given input with invalid label column label, without the number of classes specified. See StringIndexer.

当函数试图计算列"label"中的类的数量时，就会出现问题。

正如您在RandomForestClassifier源代码的第84行所看到的，该函数调用参数为"label"的DataFrame.schema函数。这个调用是OK的，并返回一个org.apache.spark.sql.types.StructField对象。然后，调用函数org.apache.spark.ml.util.MetadataUtils.getNumClasses。由于它没有返回预期的输出，因此在第87行引发异常。

在快速浏览了getNumClasses源代码后，我认为错误是由于colmun "label"中的数据既不是BinaryAttribute也不是NominalAttribute但是，我不知道如何解决这个问题

我的问题：

如何解决此问题？

非常感谢你阅读我的问题和你的帮助！

Answer 1

让我们首先修复导入以消除歧义

import org.apache.spark.ml.classification.RandomForestClassifier
import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.{StringIndexer, VectorIndexer}
import org.apache.spark.ml.{Pipeline, PipelineStage}
import org.apache.spark.ml.linalg.Vectors

我将使用与您使用的数据相同的数据：

val training = sqlContext.createDataFrame(Seq(
  (1.0, Vectors.dense(0.0, 1.1, 0.1)),
  (0.0, Vectors.dense(2.0, 1.0, -1.0)),
  (0.0, Vectors.dense(2.0, 1.3, 1.0)),
  (1.0, Vectors.dense(0.0, 1.2, -0.5))
)).toDF("label", "features")

然后创建管道阶段：

val stages = new scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer[PipelineStage]()

1. 对于分类，重新索引类别：

val labelIndexer = new StringIndexer().setInputCol("label").setOutputCol("indexedLabel").fit(training)

2. 使用VectorIndexer识别分类特征

val featuresIndexer = new VectorIndexer().setInputCol("features").setOutputCol("indexedFeatures").setMaxCategories(10).fit(training)
stages += featuresIndexer
val tmp = featuresIndexer.transform(labelIndexer.transform(training))

3. 学习随机森林

val rf = new RandomForestClassifier().setFeaturesCol(featuresIndexer.getOutputCol).setLabelCol(labelIndexer.getOutputCol)
stages += rf
val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(stages.toArray)
// Fit the Pipeline
val pipelineModel = pipeline.fit(tmp)
val results = pipelineModel.transform(training)
results.show
//+-----+--------------+---------------+-------------+-----------+----------+
//|label|      features|indexedFeatures|rawPrediction|probability|prediction|
//+-----+--------------+---------------+-------------+-----------+----------+
//|  1.0| [0.0,1.1,0.1]|  [0.0,1.0,2.0]|   [1.0,19.0]|[0.05,0.95]|       1.0|
//|  0.0|[2.0,1.0,-1.0]|  [1.0,0.0,0.0]|   [17.0,3.0]|[0.85,0.15]|       0.0|
//|  0.0| [2.0,1.3,1.0]|  [1.0,3.0,3.0]|   [14.0,6.0]|  [0.7,0.3]|       0.0|
//|  1.0|[0.0,1.2,-0.5]|  [0.0,2.0,1.0]|   [1.0,19.0]|[0.05,0.95]|       1.0|
//+-----+--------------+---------------+-------------+-----------+----------+
