如何在 PySpark 中创建自定义估算器

我正在尝试构建一个简单的自定义Estimator在 PySpark MLlib 中。我有here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32331848/create-a-custom-transformer-in-pyspark-ml/32337101?noredirect=1#comment62052435_32337101可以编写一个自定义 Transformer，但我不知道如何在Estimator。我也不明白什么@keyword_only确实如此，为什么我需要这么多的 setter 和 getter。 Scikit-learn 似乎有一个适合自定义模型的文档（see here http://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/contributing.html#rolling-your-own-estimator）但 PySpark 没有。

示例模型的伪代码：

class NormalDeviation():
    def __init__(self, threshold = 3):
    def fit(x, y=None):
       self.model = {'mean': x.mean(), 'std': x.std()]
    def predict(x):
       return ((x-self.model['mean']) > self.threshold * self.model['std'])
    def decision_function(x): # does ml-lib support this?

一般来说，没有文档，因为对于 Spark 1.6 / 2.0，大多数相关 API 并不打算公开。它应该在 Spark 2.1.0 中改变（参见SPARK-7146 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7146).

API相对复杂，因为它必须遵循特定的约定才能使给定的Transformer or Estimator兼容于PipelineAPI。其中一些方法可能需要用于读写或网格搜索等功能。其他的，比如keyword_only只是一个简单的帮助者，并不是严格要求的。

假设您为平均参数定义了以下混合：

from pyspark.ml.pipeline import Estimator, Model, Pipeline
from pyspark.ml.param.shared import *
from pyspark.sql.functions import avg, stddev_samp


class HasMean(Params):

    mean = Param(Params._dummy(), "mean", "mean", 
        typeConverter=TypeConverters.toFloat)

    def __init__(self):
        super(HasMean, self).__init__()

    def setMean(self, value):
        return self._set(mean=value)

    def getMean(self):
        return self.getOrDefault(self.mean)

标准差参数：

class HasStandardDeviation(Params):

    standardDeviation = Param(Params._dummy(),
        "standardDeviation", "standardDeviation", 
        typeConverter=TypeConverters.toFloat)

    def __init__(self):
        super(HasStandardDeviation, self).__init__()

    def setStddev(self, value):
        return self._set(standardDeviation=value)

    def getStddev(self):
        return self.getOrDefault(self.standardDeviation)

和阈值：

class HasCenteredThreshold(Params):

    centeredThreshold = Param(Params._dummy(),
            "centeredThreshold", "centeredThreshold",
            typeConverter=TypeConverters.toFloat)

    def __init__(self):
        super(HasCenteredThreshold, self).__init__()

    def setCenteredThreshold(self, value):
        return self._set(centeredThreshold=value)

    def getCenteredThreshold(self):
        return self.getOrDefault(self.centeredThreshold)

你可以创建基本的Estimator如下：

from pyspark.ml.util import DefaultParamsReadable, DefaultParamsWritable 
from pyspark import keyword_only  

class NormalDeviation(Estimator, HasInputCol, 
        HasPredictionCol, HasCenteredThreshold,
        DefaultParamsReadable, DefaultParamsWritable):

    @keyword_only
    def __init__(self, inputCol=None, predictionCol=None, centeredThreshold=1.0):
        super(NormalDeviation, self).__init__()
        kwargs = self._input_kwargs
        self.setParams(**kwargs)

    # Required in Spark >= 3.0
    def setInputCol(self, value):
        """
        Sets the value of :py:attr:`inputCol`.
        """
        return self._set(inputCol=value)

    # Required in Spark >= 3.0
    def setPredictionCol(self, value):
        """
        Sets the value of :py:attr:`predictionCol`.
        """
        return self._set(predictionCol=value)

    @keyword_only
    def setParams(self, inputCol=None, predictionCol=None, centeredThreshold=1.0):
        kwargs = self._input_kwargs
        return self._set(**kwargs)        
        
    def _fit(self, dataset):
        c = self.getInputCol()
        mu, sigma = dataset.agg(avg(c), stddev_samp(c)).first()
        return NormalDeviationModel(
            inputCol=c, mean=mu, standardDeviation=sigma, 
            centeredThreshold=self.getCenteredThreshold(),
            predictionCol=self.getPredictionCol())


class NormalDeviationModel(Model, HasInputCol, HasPredictionCol,
        HasMean, HasStandardDeviation, HasCenteredThreshold,
        DefaultParamsReadable, DefaultParamsWritable):

    @keyword_only
    def __init__(self, inputCol=None, predictionCol=None,
                mean=None, standardDeviation=None,
                centeredThreshold=None):
        super(NormalDeviationModel, self).__init__()
        kwargs = self._input_kwargs
        self.setParams(**kwargs)  

    @keyword_only
    def setParams(self, inputCol=None, predictionCol=None,
                mean=None, standardDeviation=None,
                centeredThreshold=None):
        kwargs = self._input_kwargs
        return self._set(**kwargs)           

    def _transform(self, dataset):
        x = self.getInputCol()
        y = self.getPredictionCol()
        threshold = self.getCenteredThreshold()
        mu = self.getMean()
        sigma = self.getStddev()

        return dataset.withColumn(y, (dataset[x] - mu) > threshold * sigma)    

致谢本杰明-曼斯 https://stackoverflow.com/users/234944/benjamin-manns为了使用 DefaultParamsReadable、DefaultParamsWritable https://stackoverflow.com/a/52467470适用于 PySpark >= 2.3.0

最后可以如下使用：

df = sc.parallelize([(1, 2.0), (2, 3.0), (3, 0.0), (4, 99.0)]).toDF(["id", "x"])

normal_deviation = NormalDeviation().setInputCol("x").setCenteredThreshold(1.0)
model  = Pipeline(stages=[normal_deviation]).fit(df)

model.transform(df).show()
## +---+----+----------+
## | id|   x|prediction|
## +---+----+----------+
## |  1| 2.0|     false|
## |  2| 3.0|     false|
## |  3| 0.0|     false|
## |  4|99.0|      true|
## +---+----+----------+
