public class OneHotEncoder
extends Transformer

:: Experimental :: A one-hot encoder that maps a column of category indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value per row that indicates the input category index. For example with 5 categories, an input value of 2.0 would map to an output vector of [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0]. The last category is not included by default (configurable via OneHotEncoder!.dropLast because it makes the vector entries sum up to one, and hence linearly dependent. So an input value of 4.0 maps to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]. Note that this is different from scikit-learn's OneHotEncoder, which keeps all categories. The output vectors are sparse.
