static loadLabeledPoints(sc, path, minPartitions=None)[source]¶

Load labeled points saved using RDD.saveAsTextFile.

New in version 1.0.0.

Parameters

scpyspark.SparkContext: Spark context
pathstr: file or directory path in any Hadoop-supported file system URI
minPartitionsint, optional: min number of partitions

Returns

pyspark.RDD: labeled data stored as an RDD of LabeledPoint

Examples

>>> from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
>>> from pyspark.mllib.util import MLUtils
>>> from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint
>>> examples = [LabeledPoint(1.1, Vectors.sparse(3, [(0, -1.23), (2, 4.56e-7)])),
...             LabeledPoint(0.0, Vectors.dense([1.01, 2.02, 3.03]))]
>>> tempFile = NamedTemporaryFile(delete=True)
>>> tempFile.close()
>>> sc.parallelize(examples, 1).saveAsTextFile(tempFile.name)
>>> MLUtils.loadLabeledPoints(sc, tempFile.name).collect()
[LabeledPoint(1.1, (3,[0,2],[-1.23,4.56e-07])), LabeledPoint(0.0, [1.01,2.02,3.03])]

static loadLibSVMFile(sc, path, numFeatures=- 1, minPartitions=None)[source]¶

Loads labeled data in the LIBSVM format into an RDD of LabeledPoint. The LIBSVM format is a text-based format used by LIBSVM and LIBLINEAR. Each line represents a labeled sparse feature vector using the following format:

label index1:value1 index2:value2 …

where the indices are one-based and in ascending order. This method parses each line into a LabeledPoint, where the feature indices are converted to zero-based.

New in version 1.0.0.

Parameters

scpyspark.SparkContext: Spark context
pathstr: file or directory path in any Hadoop-supported file system URI
numFeaturesint, optional: number of features, which will be determined from the input data if a nonpositive value is given. This is useful when the dataset is already split into multiple files and you want to load them separately, because some features may not present in certain files, which leads to inconsistent feature dimensions.
minPartitionsint, optional: min number of partitions

Returns

pyspark.RDD: labeled data stored as an RDD of LabeledPoint

Examples

>>> from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
>>> from pyspark.mllib.util import MLUtils
>>> from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint
>>> tempFile = NamedTemporaryFile(delete=True)
>>> _ = tempFile.write(b"+1 1:1.0 3:2.0 5:3.0\n-1\n-1 2:4.0 4:5.0 6:6.0")
>>> tempFile.flush()
>>> examples = MLUtils.loadLibSVMFile(sc, tempFile.name).collect()
>>> tempFile.close()
>>> examples[0]
LabeledPoint(1.0, (6,[0,2,4],[1.0,2.0,3.0]))
>>> examples[1]
LabeledPoint(-1.0, (6,[],[]))
>>> examples[2]
LabeledPoint(-1.0, (6,[1,3,5],[4.0,5.0,6.0]))

static loadVectors(sc, path)[source]¶: Loads vectors saved using RDD[Vector].saveAsTextFile with the default number of partitions.

>>> tempFile = NamedTemporaryFile(delete=True)
