Methods defined here:
- __init__(self, data=None, seq_column=None, count_column=None, hash=False, delimiter=',', data_sequence_column=None)
- DESCRIPTION:
This function generates the children, parent for a particular node and
calculates its depth and number of visits.
The PathAnalyzer function:
- Inputs a set of paths to the PathGenerator function.
- Inputs the output to the PathSummarizer function.
- Inputs the output to the PathStart function, which outputs, for each
parent, all children and the number of times that the user traveled
each child.
PARAMETERS:
data:
Required Argument.
Specifies either the name of the input teradataml DataFrame
or processed NPath output. The input teradataml DataFrame contains
the paths to analyze. Each path is a string of alphanumeric symbols
that represents an ordered sequence of page views (or actions).
Typically, each symbol is a code that represents a unique page
view.
If you would like to use output of NPath, then it must be processed
to select two columns; the column that contains the paths
(seq_column) and the column that contains the number of times
a path was traveled (count_column), which should be grouped by
seq_column, so that the input teradataml DataFrame has
one row for each unique path traveled on a web site.
seq_column:
Required Argument.
Specifies the name of the input teradataml DataFrame column that
contains the paths.
Types: str
count_column:
Required Argument.
Specifies the name of the input teradataml DataFrame column that
contains the number of times a path was traveled.
Types: str
hash:
Optional Argument.
Specifies whether to include the hash code of the output column node.
Default Value: False
Types: bool
delimiter:
Optional Argument.
Specifies the single-character delimiter that separates symbols in
the path string.
Note: Do not use any of the following characters as delimiter
(they cause the function to fail):
Asterisk (*), Plus (+), Left parenthesis ((), Right parenthesis ()),
Single quotation mark ('), Escaped single quotation mark (\'),
Backslash (\)
Default Value: ","
Types: str
data_sequence_column:
Optional Argument.
Specifies the list of column(s) that uniquely identifies each row of
the input argument "data". The argument is used to ensure
deterministic results for functions which produce results that vary
from run to run.
Types: str OR list of Strings (str)
RETURNS:
Instance of PathAnalyzer.
Output teradataml DataFrames can be accessed using attribute
references, such as PathAnalyzerObj.<attribute_name>.
Output teradataml DataFrame attribute name is:
output_table
RAISES:
TeradataMlException
EXAMPLES:
# Load example data.
load_example_data("pathanalyzer", "clickstream1")
# Create teradataml DataFrame objects.
# The table contains clickstream data, where the "path" column
# contains symbols for the pages that the customer clicked.
clickstream1 = DataFrame.from_table("clickstream1")
# Example 1 - Let's analyze the Paths taken for a parent, children
# in this clickstream data, to reach to a page.
PathAnalyzer_out = PathAnalyzer(data = clickstream1,
seq_column = "path",
count_column = "cnt",
hash = False,
delimiter = ","
)
# Print the results
print(PathAnalyzer_out)
- __repr__(self)
- Returns the string representation for a PathAnalyzer class instance.
