**Production-ready data transformation library for machine learning in Rust (v0.1.5)**
This crate provides comprehensive data transformation utilities for the SciRS2 ecosystem (v0.1.5). Following the [SciRS2 POLICY](../SCIRS2_POLICY.md), this module is designed to match and exceed the functionality of scikit-learn's preprocessing module while leveraging Rust's performance and safety guarantees with enhanced distributed processing capabilities.

## ๐ฆ Installation
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
scirs2-transform = "0.1.5"
```
For parallel processing and enhanced performance:
```toml
[dependencies]
scirs2-transform = { version = "0.1.5", features = ["parallel"] }
```
## ๐ฏ Quick Start
### Basic Normalization
```rust
use ndarray::array;
use scirs2_transform::normalize::{normalize_array, NormalizationMethod, Normalizer};
// One-shot normalization
let data = array![[1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
[4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
[7.0, 8.0, 9.0]];
let normalized = normalize_array(&data, NormalizationMethod::MinMax, 0)?;
// Fit-transform workflow for reusable transformations
let mut normalizer = Normalizer::new(NormalizationMethod::ZScore, 0);
let train_transformed = normalizer.fit_transform(&train_data)?;
let test_transformed = normalizer.transform(&test_data)?;
```
### Feature Engineering
```rust
use scirs2_transform::features::{PolynomialFeatures, PowerTransformer, binarize};
// Generate polynomial features
let data = array![[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]];
let poly = PolynomialFeatures::new(2, false, true);
let poly_features = poly.transform(&data)?;
// Power transformations with optimal lambda
let mut transformer = PowerTransformer::yeo_johnson(true);
let gaussian_data = transformer.fit_transform(&skewed_data)?;
// Binarization
let binary_features = binarize(&data, 0.0)?;
```
### Dimensionality Reduction
```rust
use scirs2_transform::reduction::{PCA, TSNE};
// PCA for linear dimensionality reduction
let mut pca = PCA::new(2, true, false);
let reduced_data = pca.fit_transform(&high_dim_data)?;
let explained_variance = pca.explained_variance_ratio().unwrap();
// t-SNE for non-linear visualization
let mut tsne = TSNE::new(2, 30.0, 500)?;
let embedding = tsne.fit_transform(&data)?;
```
### Categorical Encoding
```rust
use scirs2_transform::encoding::{OneHotEncoder, TargetEncoder};
// One-hot encoding
let mut encoder = OneHotEncoder::new(false, false)?;
let encoded = encoder.fit_transform(&categorical_data)?;
// Target encoding for supervised learning
let mut target_encoder = TargetEncoder::mean_encoding(1.0);
let encoded = target_encoder.fit_transform(&categories, &targets)?;
```
### Missing Value Imputation
```rust
use scirs2_transform::impute::{SimpleImputer, KNNImputer, ImputeStrategy};
// Simple imputation
let mut imputer = SimpleImputer::new(ImputeStrategy::Mean);
let complete_data = imputer.fit_transform(&data_with_missing)?;
// KNN imputation
let mut knn_imputer = KNNImputer::new(5)?;
let imputed_data = knn_imputer.fit_transform(&data_with_missing)?;
```
## ๐ง Advanced Usage
### Pipeline Integration
```rust
// Sequential transformations
let mut scaler = Normalizer::new(NormalizationMethod::ZScore, 0);
let mut pca = PCA::new(50, true, false);
// Preprocessing pipeline
let scaled_data = scaler.fit_transform(&raw_data)?;
let reduced_data = pca.fit_transform(&scaled_data)?;
```
### Custom Transformations
```rust
use scirs2_transform::features::PowerTransformer;
// Custom power transformation
let mut transformer = PowerTransformer::new("yeo-johnson", true)?;
transformer.fit(&training_data)?;
// Apply to new data
let transformed_test = transformer.transform(&test_data)?;
let original_test = transformer.inverse_transform(&transformed_test)?;
```
### Performance Optimization
```rust
// Enable parallel processing for large datasets
use rayon::prelude::*;
// Most transformers automatically use parallel processing when beneficial
let mut pca = PCA::new(100, true, false);
let result = pca.fit_transform(&large_dataset)?; // Automatically parallelized
```
## ๐ Performance

## ๐ Compatibility
### Scikit-learn API Compatibility
SciRS2 Transform follows scikit-learn's API conventions:
- `fit()` / `transform()` / `fit_transform()` pattern
- Consistent parameter naming
- Similar default behaviors
- Compatible data formats (via ndarray)
### Migration from Scikit-learn
```python
# Python (scikit-learn)
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)
```
```rust
// Rust (SciRS2)
use scirs2_transform::normalize::{Normalizer, NormalizationMethod};
let mut scaler = Normalizer::new(NormalizationMethod::ZScore, 0);
let x_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(&x)?;
```
