Pandas Dataframe Algorithms
Pandas Dataframes
Pandas dataframes are obviously not going to scale as well as our Spark and SQL Algorithms, but for 'moderate' sized data these algorithms provide some nice functionality.
Pandas Dataframe Algorithms
Workbench has a growing set of algorithms and data processing tools for Pandas Dataframes. In general these algorithm will take a dataframe as input and give you back a dataframe with additional columns.
FeatureSpaceProximity
Bases: Proximity
Proximity computations for numeric feature spaces using Euclidean distance.
Source code in src/workbench/algorithms/dataframe/feature_space_proximity.py
__init__(df, id_column, features, target=None, include_all_columns=False)

FingerprintProximity
Bases: Proximity
Proximity computations for binary fingerprints using Tanimoto similarity.
Note: Tanimoto similarity is equivalent to Jaccard similarity for binary vectors. Tanimoto(A, B) = |A ∩ B| / |A ∪ B|
