"""Feature selector that removes all low-variance features.
|
|
|
|
This feature selection algorithm looks only at the features (X), not the
|
|
desired outputs (y), and can thus be used for unsupervised learning.
|
|
|
|
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <variance_threshold>`.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
threshold : float, optional
|
|
Features with a training-set variance lower than this threshold will
|
|
be removed. The default is to keep all features with non-zero variance,
|
|
i.e. remove the features that have the same value in all samples.
|
|
|
|
Attributes
|
|
----------
|
|
variances_ : array, shape (n_features,)
|
|
Variances of individual features.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
The following dataset has integer features, two of which are the same
|
|
in every sample. These are removed with the default setting for threshold::
|
|
|
|
>>> X = [[0, 2, 0, 3], [0, 1, 4, 3], [0, 1, 1, 3]]
|
|
>>> selector = VarianceThreshold()
|
|
>>> selector.fit_transform(X)
|
|
array([[2, 0],
|
|
[1, 4],
|
|
[1, 1]])

Parameters
|
|
----------

|
X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features)
|
|
Sample vectors from which to compute variances.
