"""Target Encoder for regression and classification targets.
Each category is encoded based on a shrunk estimate of the average target
values for observations belonging to the category. The encoding scheme mixes
the global target mean with the target mean conditioned on the value of the
category (see [MIC]_).
When the target type is "multiclass", encodings are based
on the conditional probability estimate for each class. The target is first
binarized using the "one-vs-all" scheme via
:class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer`, then the average target
value for each class and each category is used for encoding, resulting in
`n_features` * `n_classes` encoded output features.
:class:`TargetEncoder` considers missing values, such as `np.nan` or `None`,
as another category and encodes them like any other category. Categories
that are not seen during :meth:`fit` are encoded with the target mean, i.e.
`target_mean_`.
For a demo on the importance of the `TargetEncoder` internal cross-fitting,
see
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_preprocessing_plot_target_encoder_cross_val.py`.
For a comparison of different encoders, refer to
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_preprocessing_plot_target_encoder.py`. Read
more in the :ref:`User Guide <target_encoder>`.
.. note::
`fit(X, y).transform(X)` does not equal `fit_transform(X, y)` because a
:term:`cross fitting` scheme is used in `fit_transform` for encoding.
See the :ref:`User Guide <target_encoder>` for details.
.. versionadded:: 1.3
Parameters
----------
categories : "auto" or list of shape (n_features,) of array-like, default="auto"
Categories (unique values) per feature:
- `"auto"` : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
- list : `categories[i]` holds the categories expected in the i-th column. The
passed categories should not mix strings and numeric values within a single
feature, and should be sorted in case of numeric values.
The used categories are stored in the `categories_` fitted attribute.
target_type : {"auto", "continuous", "binary", "multiclass"}, default="auto"
Type of target.
- `"auto"` : Type of target is inferred with
:func:`~sklearn.utils.multiclass.type_of_target`.
- `"continuous"` : Continuous target
- `"binary"` : Binary target
- `"multiclass"` : Multiclass target
.. note::
The type of target inferred with `"auto"` may not be the desired target
type used for modeling. For example, if the target consisted of integers
between 0 and 100, then :func:`~sklearn.utils.multiclass.type_of_target`
will infer the target as `"multiclass"`. In this case, setting
`target_type="continuous"` will specify the target as a regression
problem. The `target_type_` attribute gives the target type used by the
encoder.
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
Added the option 'multiclass'.
smooth : "auto" or float, default="auto"
The amount of mixing of the target mean conditioned on the value of the
category with the global target mean. A larger `smooth` value will put
more weight on the global target mean.
If `"auto"`, then `smooth` is set to an empirical Bayes estimate.
cv : int, default=5
Determines the number of folds in the :term:`cross fitting` strategy used in
:meth:`fit_transform`. For classification targets, `StratifiedKFold` is used
and for continuous targets, `KFold` is used.
shuffle : bool, default=True
Whether to shuffle the data in :meth:`fit_transform` before splitting into
folds. Note that the samples within each split will not be shuffled.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, default=None
When `shuffle` is True, `random_state` affects the ordering of the
indices, which controls the randomness of each fold. Otherwise, this
parameter has no effect.
Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls.
See :term:`Glossary <random_state>`.
Attributes
----------
encodings_ : list of shape (n_features,) or (n_features * n_classes) of \
ndarray
Encodings learnt on all of `X`.
For feature `i`, `encodings_[i]` are the encodings matching the
categories listed in `categories_[i]`. When `target_type_` is
"multiclass", the encoding for feature `i` and class `j` is stored in
`encodings_[j + (i * len(classes_))]`. E.g., for 2 features (f) and
3 classes (c), encodings are ordered:
f0_c0, f0_c1, f0_c2, f1_c0, f1_c1, f1_c2,
categories_ : list of shape (n_features,) of ndarray
The categories of each input feature determined during fitting or
specified in `categories`
(in order of the features in `X` and corresponding with the output
of :meth:`transform`).
target_type_ : str
Type of target.
target_mean_ : float
The overall mean of the target. This value is only used in :meth:`transform`
to encode categories.
n_features_in_ : int
Number of features seen during :term:`fit`.
feature_names_in_ : ndarray of shape (`n_features_in_`,)
Names of features seen during :term:`fit`. Defined only when `X`
has feature names that are all strings.
classes_ : ndarray or None
If `target_type_` is 'binary' or 'multiclass', holds the label for each class,
otherwise `None`.
See Also
--------
OrdinalEncoder : Performs an ordinal (integer) encoding of the categorical features.
Contrary to TargetEncoder, this encoding is not supervised. Treating the
resulting encoding as a numerical features therefore lead arbitrarily
ordered values and therefore typically lead to lower predictive performance
when used as preprocessing for a classifier or regressor.
OneHotEncoder : Performs a one-hot encoding of categorical features. This
unsupervised encoding is better suited for low cardinality categorical
variables as it generate one new feature per unique category.

Examples
--------
With `smooth="auto"`, the smoothing parameter is set to an empirical Bayes estimate:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn.preprocessing import TargetEncoder
>>> X = np.array([["dog"] * 20 + ["cat"] * 30 + ["snake"] * 38], dtype=object).T
>>> y = [90.3] * 5 + [80.1] * 15 + [20.4] * 5 + [20.1] * 25 + [21.2] * 8 + [49] * 30
>>> enc_auto = TargetEncoder(smooth="auto")
>>> X_trans = enc_auto.fit_transform(X, y)
>>> # A high `smooth` parameter puts more weight on global mean on the categorical
>>> # encodings:
>>> enc_high_smooth = TargetEncoder(smooth=5000.0).fit(X, y)
>>> enc_high_smooth.target_mean_
np.float64(44...)
>>> enc_high_smooth.encodings_
[array([44..., 44..., 44...])]
>>> # On the other hand, a low `smooth` parameter puts more weight on target
>>> # conditioned on the value of the categorical:
>>> enc_low_smooth = TargetEncoder(smooth=1.0).fit(X, y)
>>> enc_low_smooth.encodings_
[array([20..., 80..., 43...])]
