How to convert a Scikit-learn dataset to a Pandas dataset?

Question

How do I convert data from a Scikit-learn Bunch object to a Pandas DataFrame?

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
import pandas as pd
data = load_iris()
p         


        

Answer 1

Other way to combine features and target variables can be using np.column_stack (details)

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

data = load_iris()
df = pd.DataFrame(np.column_stack((data.data, data.target)), columns = data.feature_names+['target'])
print(df.head())

Result:

   sepal length (cm)  sepal width (cm)  petal length (cm)  petal width (cm)     target
0                5.1               3.5                1.4               0.2     0.0
1                4.9               3.0                1.4               0.2     0.0 
2                4.7               3.2                1.3               0.2     0.0 
3                4.6               3.1                1.5               0.2     0.0
4                5.0               3.6                1.4               0.2     0.0

If you need the string label for the target, then you can use replace by convertingtarget_names to dictionary and add a new column:

df['label'] = df.target.replace(dict(enumerate(data.target_names)))
print(df.head())

Result:

   sepal length (cm)  sepal width (cm)  petal length (cm)  petal width (cm)     target  label 
0                5.1               3.5                1.4               0.2     0.0     setosa

2                4.7               3.2                1.3               0.2     0.0     setosa
3                4.6               3.1                1.5               0.2     0.0     setosa
4                5.0               3.6                1.4               0.2     0.0     setosa
