===================================
Column Transformer with Mixed Types
===================================

This example illustrates how to apply different preprocessing and
feature extraction pipelines to different subsets of features,
using :class:`sklearn.compose.ColumnTransformer`.
This is particularly handy for the case of datasets that contain
heterogeneous data types, since we may want to scale the
numeric features and one-hot encode the categorical ones.

In this example, the numeric data is standard-scaled after
mean-imputation, while the categorical data is one-hot
encoded after imputing missing values with a new category
(``'missing'``).

Finally, the preprocessing pipeline is integrated in a
full prediction pipeline using :class:`sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline`,
together with a simple classification model.

Using the prediction pipeline in a grid search
##############################################################################
 Grid search can also be performed on the different preprocessing steps
 defined in the ``ColumnTransformer`` object, together with the classifier's
 hyperparameters as part of the ``Pipeline``.
 We will search for both the imputer strategy of the numeric preprocessing
 and the regularization parameter of the logistic regression using
 :class:`sklearn.model_selection.GridSearchCV`.

        'preprocessor__num__imputer__strategy': ['mean', 'median'],
        'classifier__C': [0.1, 1.0, 10, 100],
    }

    grid_search = GridSearchCV(clf, param_grid, cv=10)
    grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)

    print(("best logistic regression from grid search: %.3f"
           % grid_search.score(X_test, y_test)))
