FeatureUnion¶
yohou.compose.feature_union.FeatureUnion
¶
Bases: BaseTransformer, _BaseComposition
Concatenates results of multiple transformer objects.
This estimator applies a list of transformer objects in parallel to the input data, then concatenates the results. This is useful to combine several feature extraction mechanisms into a single transformer.
Parameters of the transformers may be set using its name and the parameter name separated by a '__'. A transformer may be replaced entirely by setting the parameter with its name to another transformer, removed by setting to 'drop' or disabled by setting to 'passthrough' (features are passed without transformation).
Parameters¶
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
transformer_list
|
list of (str, transformer) tuples
|
List of transformer objects to be applied to the data. The first half of each tuple is the name of the transformer. The transformer can be 'drop' for it to be ignored or can be 'passthrough' for features to be passed unchanged. |
required |
n_jobs
|
int
|
Number of jobs to run in parallel.
|
None
|
transformer_weights
|
dict
|
Multiplicative weights for features per transformer.
Keys are transformer names, values the weights.
Raises ValueError if key not present in |
None
|
verbose
|
bool
|
If True, the time elapsed while fitting each transformer will be printed as it is completed. |

|

|
If True, |
True
|
Attributes¶
| Name | Type | Description |

Notes¶
Transformers run in parallel when n_jobs is set to a value other than 1.
This can significantly improve performance for computationally expensive transformers.
Results are concatenated horizontally with automatic time alignment. The
internal _hstack() function handles transformers with different observation
horizons by aligning their outputs to the maximum observation horizon.
The observation_horizon property returns the MAXIMUM across all transformers
(not the sum). This is because all transformers operate on the same input data,
and the union needs enough history to satisfy the most demanding transformer.
Useful for multi-scale feature engineering, such as combining short-term and long-term lag features, or mixing different preprocessing approaches in parallel.
All transformers must accept the same input time series with a time column.
Examples¶
>>> import polars as pl
>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>> from yohou.compose import FeatureUnion
>>> from yohou.preprocessing import LagTransformer
>>>
>>> # Create sample weekly time series data (52 weeks)
>>> time = pl.datetime_range(
... start=datetime(2023, 1, 1),
... end=datetime(2023, 1, 1) + timedelta(weeks=51),
... interval="1w",
... eager=True,
... )
>>> data = pl.DataFrame({"time": time, "demand": range(1, 53)})
>>>
>>> # Example 1: Combine short-term and long-term lags for multi-scale features
>>> union = FeatureUnion([
... ("short_lags", LagTransformer(lag=[1, 2, 3])),
... ("long_lags", LagTransformer(lag=[7, 14, 21])),
... ])
>>>
>>> # Example 2: Access transformers by name
>>> union.named_transformers["short_lags"]
LagTransformer(...)
>>>
>>> # Example 3: Access transformers by position
>>> union[0]

observe_transform(X, **params)
¶
Observe and transform X in parallel for each transformer, concatenate results.
This method atomically observes each transformer with new data and transforms it in parallel. The transformation uses the pre-observe state, then updates the memory. This is more efficient and correct than calling observe() then transform() separately.
Parameters¶
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
X
|

New data to observe with and transform. |

rewind_transform(X, **params)
¶
Rewind and transform X in parallel for each transformer, concatenate results.
This method applies rewind_transform semantics to each transformer in parallel: transforms from scratch without using pre-existing memory, discards warmup rows, and rewinds the internal state with the input data.
Parameters¶
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
X
|

Data to transform and use for rewinding state. |
