Support feature weights

Open pratikmondkar opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Need to add a parameter or input vector specifying the weight of each categorical variable rather than treating them as same in dissimilarity calculation as its doing now.

It would be nice to have this, yes.

Has anything been done on this?

No work on feature weights has been done at this point.

Sample weights have been added recently, though:

  • https://github.com/nicodv/kmodes/pull/171
  • https://github.com/nicodv/kmodes/pull/174

Is this on the roadmap? I've been duplicating features to increase weight

@nicodv - is there a better way to do this?
