Class SparseOneHotEncoder

java.lang.Object

smile.feature.SparseOneHotEncoder

public class SparseOneHotEncoder
extends java.lang.Object

Encode categorical integer features using sparse one-hot scheme. All variables should be nominal attributes and will be converted to binary dummy variables in a compact representation in which only indices of nonzero elements are stored in an integer array. In Maximum Entropy Classifier, the data are expected to store in this format.
