matminer.featurizers.base module

class matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Bases: sklearn.base.BaseEstimator, sklearn.base.TransformerMixin

Abstract class to calculate features from raw materials input data such a compound formula or a pymatgen crystal structure or bandstructure object.

## Using a BaseFeaturizer Class

There are multiple ways for running the featurize routines:

featurize: Featurize a single entry featurize_many: Featurize a list of entries featurize_dataframe: Compute features for many entries, store results

as columns in a dataframe

Some featurizers require first calling the fit method before the featurization methods can function. Generally, you pass the dataset to fit to determine which features a featurizer should compute. For example, a featurizer that returns the partial radial distribution function may need to know which elements are present in a dataset.

You can also employ the featurizer as part of a ScikitLearn Pipeline object. For these cases, ScikitLearn calls the transform function of the BaseFeaturizer which is a less-featured wrapper of featurize_many. You would then provide your input data as an array to the Pipeline, which would output the features as an array.

Beyond the featurizing capability, BaseFeaturizer also includes methods for retrieving proper references for a featurizer. The citations function returns a list of papers that should be cited. The implementors function returns a list of people who wrote the featurizer, so that you know who to contact with questions.

## Implementing a New BaseFeaturizer Class

These operations must be implemented for each new featurizer:
featurize - Takes a single material as input, returns the features of
that material.
feature_labels - Generates a human-meaningful name for each of the
features.

citations - Returns a list of citations in BibTeX format implementors - Returns a list of people who contributed to writing a

paper.

None of these operations should change the state of the featurizer. I.e., running each method twice should not produce different results, no class attributes should be changed, and running one operation should not affect the output of another.

All options of the featurizer must be set by the __init__ function. All options must be listed as keyword arguments with default values, and the value must be saved as a class attribute with the same name (e.g., argument n should be stored in self.n). These requirements are necessary for compatibility with the get_params and set_params methods of BaseEstimator, which enable easy interoperability with ScikitLearn

Depending on the complexity of your featurizer, it may be worthwhile to implement a from_preset class method. The from_preset method takes the name of a preset and returns an instance of the featurizer with some hard-coded set of inputs. The from_preset option is particularly useful for defining the settings used by papers in the literature.

Optionally, you can implement the fit operation if there are attributes of your featurizer that must be set for the featurizer to work. Any variables that are set by fitting should be stored as class attributes that end with an underscore. (This follows the pattern used by ScikitLearn).

Another option to consider is whether it is worth making any utility operations for your featurizer. featurize must return a list of features, but this may not be the most natural representation for your features (e.g., a dict could be better). Making a separate function for computing features in this natural representation and having the featurize function call this method and then convert the data into a list is a recommended approach. Users who want to compute the representation in the natural form can use the utility function and users who want the data in a ML-ready format (list) can call featurize. See PartialRadialDistributionFunction for an example of this concept.

An additional factor to consider is the chunksize for data parallelisation. For lightweight computational tasks, the overhead associated with passing data from multiprocessing.Pool.map() to the function being parallelised can increase the time taken for all tasks to be completed. By setting the self._chunksize argument, the overhead associated with passing data to the tasks can be reduced. Note that there is only an advantage to using chunksize when the time taken to pass the data from map to the function call is within several orders of magnitude to that of the function call itself. By default, we allow the Python multiprocessing library to determine the chunk size automatically based on the size of the list being featurized. You may want to specify a small chunk size for computationally-expensive featurizers, which will enable better distribution of taks across threads. In contrast, for more lightweight featurizers, it is recommended that the implementor trial a range of chunksize values to find the optimum. As a general rule of thumb, if the featurize function takes 0.1 seconds or less, a chunksize of around 30 will perform best.

## Documenting a BaseFeaturizer

The class documentation for each featurizer must contain a description of the options and the features that will be computed. The options of the class must all be defined in the __init__ function of the class, and we recommend documenting them using the [Google style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html).

For auto-generated documentation purposes, the first line of the featurizer doc should come under the class declaration (not under __init__) and should be a one line summary of the featurizer.

We recommend starting the class documentation with a high-level overview of the features. For example, mention what kind of characteristics of the material they describe and refer the reader to a paper that describes these features well (use a hyperlink if possible, so that the readthedocs will link to that paper). Then, describe each of the individual features in a block named “Features”. It is necessary here to give the user enough information for user to map a feature name what it means. The objective in this part is to allow people to understand what each column of their dataframe is without having to read the Python code. You do not need to explain all of the math/algorithms behind each feature for them to be able to reproduce the feature, just to get an idea what it is.

matminer.featurizers.composition module

class matminer.featurizers.composition.AtomicOrbitals

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Determine HOMO/LUMO features based on a composition.

The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are estiated from the atomic orbital energies of the composition. The atomic orbital energies are from NIST: https://www.nist.gov/pml/data/atomic-reference-data-electronic-structure-calculations

Warning: For compositions with inter-species fractions greater than 10,000 (e.g. dilute alloys such as FeC0.00001) the composition will be truncated (to Fe in this example). In such extreme cases, the truncation likely reflects the true physics of the situation (i.e. that the dilute element does not significantly contribute orbital character to the band structure), but the user should be aware of this behavior.

class matminer.featurizers.composition.AtomicPackingEfficiency(threshold=0.01, n_nearest=(1, 3, 5), max_types=6)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Packing efficiency based on a geometric theory of the amorphous packing of hard spheres.

This featurizer computes two different kinds of the features. The first relate to the distance between a composition and the composition of the clusters of atoms expected to be efficiently packed based on a theory from `Laws et al.<http://www.nature.com/doifinder/10.1038/ncomms9123>`_. The second corresponds to the packing efficiency of a system if all atoms in the alloy are simultaneously as efficiently-packed as possible.

The packing efficiency in these models is based on the Atomic Packing Efficiency (APE), which measures the difference between the ratio of the radii of the central atom to its neighbors and the ideal ratio of a cluster with the same number of atoms that has optimal packing efficiency. If the difference between the ratios is too large, the APE is positive. If the difference is too small, the APE is negative.

Features:
dist from {k} clusters |APE| < {thr} - The distance between an
alloy composition and the k clusters that have a packing efficiency below thr from ideal
mean simul. packing efficiency - Mean packing efficiency of all atoms.
The packing efficiency is measured with respect to ideal (0)
mean abs simul. packing efficiency - Mean absolute value of the
packing efficiencies. Closer to zero is more efficiently packed

class matminer.featurizers.composition.ElectronegativityDiff(stats=None)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Features from electronegativity differences between anions and cations.

These features are computed by first determining the concentration-weighted average electronegativity of the anions. For example, the average electronegativity of the anions in CaCoSO is equal to 1/2 of that of S and 1/2 of that of O. We then compute the difference between the electronegativity of each cation and the average anion electronegativity.

The feature values are then determined based on the concentration-weighted statistics in the same manner as ElementProperty features. For example, one value could be the mean electronegativity difference over all the anions.

Parameters:
data_source (data class): source from which to retrieve element data stats: Property statistics to compute

Generates average electronegativity difference between cations and anions

Calculate the formation enthalpies of the intermetallic compound, solid solution and amorphous phase of a given composition, based on semi-empirical Miedema model (and some extensions), particularly for transitional metal alloys. Support elemental, binary and multicomponent alloys.

For elemental/binary alloys, the formulation is based on the original works by Miedema et al. in 1980s; For multicomponent alloys, the formulation is basically the linear combination of sub-binary systems. This is reported to work well for ternary alloys, but needs to be careful with quaternary alloys and more.

matminer.featurizers.conversions module

This module defines featurizers that can convert between different data formats

Note that these featurizers do not produce machine learning-ready features. Instead, they should be used to pre-process data, either through a standalone transformation or as part of a Pipeline.

class matminer.featurizers.conversions.CompositionToOxidComposition(target_col_id='composition_oxid', overwrite_data=False, coerce_mixed=True, **kwargs)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.conversions.ConversionFeaturizer

Utility featurizer to add oxidation states to a pymatgen Composition.

Oxidation states are determined using pymatgen’s guessing routines. The expected input is a pymatgen.core.composition.Composition object.

Note that this Featurizer does not produce machine learning-ready features but instead can be applied to pre-process data or as part of a Pipeline.

Args:
**kwargs: Parameters to control the settings for
pymatgen.io.structure.Structure.add_oxidation_state_by_guess().
target_col_id (str or None): The column in which the converted data will
be written. If the column already exists then an error will be thrown unless overwrite_data is set to True. If target_col_id begins with an underscore the data will be written to the column: “{}_{}”.format(col_id, target_col_id[1:]), where col_id is the column being featurized. If target_col_id is set to None then the data will be written “in place” to the col_id column (this will only work if overwrite_data=True).
overwrite_data (bool): Overwrite any data in target_column if it
exists.
coerce_mixed (bool): If a composition has both species containing
oxid states and not containing oxid states, strips all of the oxid states and guesses the entire composition’s oxid states.

class matminer.featurizers.conversions.ConversionFeaturizer(target_col_id, overwrite_data)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Abstract class to perform data conversions.

Featurizers subclassing this class do not produce machine learning-ready features but instead are used to pre-process data. As Featurizers, the conversion process can take advantage of the parallelisation implemented in ScikitLearn.

Note that feature_labels are set dynamically and may depend on the column id of the data being featurized. As such, feature_labels may differ before and after featurization.

ConversionFeaturizers differ from other Featurizers in that the user can can specify the column in which to write the converted data. The output column is controlled through target_col_id. ConversionFeaturizers also have the ability to overwrite data in existing columns. This is controlled by the overwrite_data option. “in place” conversion of data can be achieved by setting target_col_id=None and overwrite_data=True. See the docstring below for more details.

Args:
target_col_id (str or None): The column in which the converted data will
be written. If the column already exists then an error will be thrown unless overwrite_data is set to True. If target_col_id begins with an underscore the data will be written to the column: “{}_{}”.format(col_id, target_col_id[1:]), where col_id is the column being featurized. If target_col_id is set to None then the data will be written “in place” to the col_id column (this will only work if overwrite_data=True).

exists.

Args:

df (Pandas.DataFrame): Dataframe containing input data. col_id (str or list of str): column label containing objects to

featurize. Can be multiple labels if the featurize function requires multiple inputs.

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Features from functions applied to existing features, e.g. “1/x”

This featurizer must be fit either by calling .fit_featurize_dataframe or by calling .fit followed by featurize_dataframe.

This class featurizes a dataframe according to a set of expressions representing functions to apply to existing features. The approach here has uses a sympy-based parsing of string expressions, rather than explicit python functions. The primary reason this has been done is to provide for better support for book-keeping (e. g. with feature labels), substitution, and elimination of symbolic redundancy, which sympy is well-suited for.

Args:
expressions ([str]): list of sympy-parseable expressions
representing a function of a single variable x, e. g. [“1 / x”, “x ** 2”], defaults to the list above
multi_feature_depth (int): how many features to include if using
multiple fields for functionalization, e. g. 2 will include pairwise combined features
postprocess (function or type): type to cast functional outputs
to, if, for example, you want to include the possibility of complex numbers in your outputs, use postprocess=np.complex, defaults to float
combo_function (function): function to combine multi-features,
defaults to np.prod (i.e. cumulative product of expressions), note that a combo function must cleanly process sympy expressions and takes a list of arbitrary length as input, other options include np.sum
latexify_labels (bool): whether to render labels in latex,
defaults to False

matminer.featurizers.site module

class matminer.featurizers.site.AGNIFingerprints(directions=(None, 'x', 'y', 'z'), etas=None, cutoff=8)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Product integral of RDF and Gaussian window function, from Botu et al.

Integral of the product of the radial distribution function and a Gaussian window function. Originally used by [Botu et al] (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b10908) to fit empiricial potentials. These features come in two forms: atomic fingerprints and direction-resolved fingerprints. Atomic fingerprints describe the local environment of an atom and are computed using the function: :math:`A_i(eta) = sumlimits_{i

e j} e^{-( rac{r_{ij}}{eta})^2} f(r_{ij})`

where i is the index of the atom, j is the index of a neighboring atom, \eta is a scaling function, r_{ij} is the distance between atoms i and j, and f(r) is a cutoff function where :math:`f(r) = 0.5[cos(
rac{pi r_{ij}}{R_c}) + 1]` if r < R_c:math: and 0 otherwise.
The direction-resolved fingerprints are computed using :math:`V_i^k(eta) = sumlimits_{i

e j} rac{r_{ij}^k}{r_{ij}} e^{-( rac{r_{ij}}{eta})^2} f(r_{ij})`

where r_{ij}^k is the k^{th} component of

class matminer.featurizers.site.AngularFourierSeries(bins, cutoff=10.0)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Compute the angular Fourier series (AFS), including both angular and radial info

The AFS is the product of pairwise distance function (g_n, g_n’) between two pairs of atoms (sharing the common central site) and the cosine of the angle between the two pairs. The AFS is a 2-dimensional feature (the axes are g_n, g_n’).

Examples of distance functionals are square functions, Gaussian, trig functions, and Bessel functions. An example for Gaussian:

lambda d: exp( -(d - d_n)**2 ), where d_n is the coefficient for g_n

See grdf() for a full list of available binning functions.

There are two preset conditions:
gaussian: bin functions are gaussians histogram: bin functions are rectangular functions
Features:
AFS ([gn], [gn’]) - Angular Fourier Series between binning functions (g1 and g2)
Args:
bins: ([AbstractPairwise]) a list of binning functions that
implement the AbstractPairwise base class

class matminer.featurizers.site.BondOrientationalParameter(max_l=10, compute_w=False, compute_w_hat=False)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Averages of spherical harmonics of local neighbors

Bond Orientational Parameters (BOPs) describe the local environment around an atom by considering the local symmetry of the bonds as computed using spherical harmonics. To create descriptors that are invariant to rotating the coordinate system, we use the average of all spherical harmonics of a certain degree - following the approach of Steinhardt et al.. We weigh the contributions of each neighbor with the solid angle of the Voronoi tessellation (see Mickel et al. <https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4774084>_ for further discussion). The weighing scheme makes these descriptors vary smoothly with small distortions of a crystal structure.

In addition to the average spherical harmonics, this class can also compute the W and \hat{W} parameters proposed by Steinhardt et al..

Attributes:
BOOP Q l=<n> - Average spherical harmonic for a certain degree, n. BOOP W l=<n> - W parameter for a certain degree of spherical harmonic, n. BOOP What l=<n> - \hat{W} parameter for a certain degree of spherical harmonic, n.

class matminer.featurizers.site.ChemicalSRO(nn, includes=None, excludes=None, sort=True)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Chemical short range ordering, deviation of local site and nominal structure compositions

Chemical SRO features to evaluate the deviation of local chemistry with the nominal composition of the structure.

A local bonding preference is computed using f_el = N_el/(sum of N_el) - c_el, where N_el is the number of each element type in the neighbors around the target site, sum of N_el is the sum of all possible element types (coordination number), and c_el is the composition of the specific element in the entire structure. A positive f_el indicates the “bonding” with the specific element is favored, at least in the target site; A negative f_el indicates the “bonding” is not favored, at least in the target site.

Note that ChemicalSRO is only featurized for elements identified by “fit” (see following), thus “fit” must be called before “featurize”, or else an error will be raised.

Gaussian symmetry function features suggested by Behler et al.

The function is based on pair distances and angles, to approximate the functional dependence of local energies, originally used in the fitting of machine-learning potentials. The symmetry functions can be divided to a set of radial functions (g2 function), and a set of angular functions (g4 function). The number of symmetry functions returned are based on parameters of etas_g2, etas_g4, zetas_g4 and gammas_g4. See the original papers for more details: “Atom-centered symmetry functions for constructing high-dimensional neural network potentials”, J Behler, J Chem Phys 134, 074106 (2011). The cutoff function is taken as the polynomial form (cosine_cutoff) to give a smoothed truncation.

class matminer.featurizers.site.GeneralizedRadialDistributionFunction(bins, cutoff=20.0, mode='GRDF')

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Compute the general radial distribution function (GRDF) for a site.

The GRDF is a radial measure of crystal order around a site. There are two featurizing modes:

  1. GRDF: (recommended) - n_bins length vector
    In GRDF mode, The GRDF is computed by considering all sites around a central site (i.e., no sites are omitted when computing the GRDF). The features output from this mode will be vectors with length n_bins.
  2. pairwise GRDF: (advanced users) - n_bins x n_sites matrix
    In this mode, GRDFs are are still computed around a central site, but only one other site (and their translational equivalents) are used to compute a GRDF (e.g. site 1 with site 2 and the translational equivalents of site 2). This results in a a n_sites x n_bins matrix of features. Requires fit for determining the max number of sites for

The GRDF is a generalization of the partial radial distribution function (PRDF). In contrast with the PRDF, the bins of the GRDF are not mutually- exclusive and need not carry a constant weight of 1. The PRDF is a case of the GRDF when the bins are rectangular functions. Examples of other functions to use with the GRDF are Gaussian, trig, and Bessel functions.

See grdf() for a full list of available binning functions.

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Differences in elemental properties between site and its neighboring sites.

Uses the Voronoi tessellation of the structure to determine the neighbors of the site, and assigns each neighbor (n) a weight (A_n) that corresponds to the area of the facet on the tessellation corresponding to that neighbor. The local property difference is then computed by :math:`

rac{sum_n {A_n |p_n - p_0|}}{sum_n {A_n}}`

where p_n is the property (e.g., atomic number) of a neighbor and p_0 is the property of a site. If signed parameter is assigned True, signed difference of the properties is returned instead of absolute difference.

class matminer.featurizers.site.OPSiteFingerprint(target_motifs=None, dr=0.1, ddr=0.01, ndr=1, dop=0.001, dist_exp=2, zero_ops=True)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Local structure order parameters computed from a site’s neighbor env.

For each order parameter, we determine the neighbor shell that complies with the expected coordination number. For example, we find the 4 nearest neighbors for the tetrahedral OP, the 6 nearest for the octahedral OP, and the 8 nearest neighbors for the bcc OP. If we don’t find such a shell, the OP is either set to zero or evaluated with the shell of the next largest observed coordination number. Args:

target_motifs (dict): target op or motif type where keys
are corresponding coordination numbers (e.g., {4: “tetrahedral”}).
dr (float): width for binning neighbors in unit of relative
distances (= distance/nearest neighbor distance). The binning is necessary to make the neighbor-finding step robust against small numerical variations in neighbor distances (default: 0.1).

ddr (float): variation of width for finding stable OP values. ndr (int): number of width variations for each variation direction

(e.g., ndr = 0 only uses the input dr, whereas ndr=1 tests dr = dr - ddr, dr, and dr + ddr.
dop (float): binning width to compute histogram for each OP
if ndr > 0.
dist_exp (boolean): exponent for distance factor to multiply
order parameters with that penalizes (large) variations in distances in a given motif. 0 will switch the option off (default: 2).
zero_ops (boolean): set an OP to zero if there is no neighbor
shell that complies with the expected coordination number of a given OP (e.g., CN=4 for tetrahedron; default: True).

matminer.featurizers.structure module

class matminer.featurizers.structure.BagofBonds(coulomb_matrix=CoulombMatrix(diag_elems=True), token=' - ')

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Compute a Bag of Bonds vector, as first described by Hansen et al. (2015).

The Bag of Bonds approach is based creating an even-length vector from a Coulomb matrix output. Practically, it represents the Coloumbic interactions between each possible set of sites in a structure as a vector.

BagofBonds must be fit to an iterable of structures using the “fit” method before featurization can occur. This is because the bags and the maximum lengths of each bag must be set prior to featurization. We recommend fitting and featurizing on the same data to maintain consistency between generated feature sets. This can be done using the fit_transform method (for lists of structures) or the fit_featurize_dataframe method (for dataframes).

BagofBonds is based on a method by Hansen et. al “Machine Learning Predictions of Molecular Properties: Accurate Many-Body Potentials and Nonlocality in Chemical Space” (2015).

Args:
coulomb_matrix (BaseFeaturizer): A featurizer object containing a
“featurize” method which returns a matrix of size nsites x nsites. Good choices are CoulombMatrix() or SineCoulombMatrix()
token (str): The string used to separate species in a bond, including
spaces. The token must contain at least one space and cannot have alphabetic characters in it, and should be padded by spaces. For example, for the bond Cs+ - Cl-, the token is ‘ - ‘. This determines how bonds are represented in the dataframe.
__init__(coulomb_matrix=CoulombMatrix(diag_elems=True), token=' - ')

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

bag(s, return_baglens=False)

Convert a structure into a bag of bonds, where each bag has no padded zeros. using this function will give the ‘raw’ bags, which when concatenated, will have different lengths.

Args:

s (Structure): A pymatgen Structure or IStructure object. return_baglens (bool): If True, returns the bag of bonds with as

a dictionary with the number of bonds as values in place of the vectors of coulomb matrix vals. If False, calculates Coulomb matrix values and returns ‘raw’ bags.
Returns:
(dict) A bag of bonds, where the keys are sorted tuples of pymatgen
Site objects representing bonds or sites, and the values are the Coulomb matrix values for that bag.
citations()

Returns:
(list) each element should be a string citation,
ideally in BibTeX format.
feature_labels()

Generate attribute names.

Returns:
([str]) attribute labels.
featurize(s)

Featurizes a structure according to the bag of bonds method. Specifically, each structure is first bagged by flattening the Coulomb matrix for the structure. Then, it is zero-padded according to the maximum number of bonds in each bag, for the set of bags that BagofBonds was fit with.

Args:
s (Structure): A pymatgen structure object
Returns:
(list): The Bag of Bonds vector for the input structure
fit(X, y=None)

Define the bags using a list of structures.

Both the names of the bags (e.g., Cs-Cl) and the maximum lengths of the bags are set with fit.

Args:
X (Series/list): An iterable of pymatgen Structure
objects which will be used to determine the allowed bond types and bag lengths.

y : unused (added for consistency with overridden method signature)

Returns:
self
implementors()

Returns:
(list) each element should either be a string with author name (e.g.,
“Anubhav Jain”) or a dictionary with required key “name” and other keys like “email” or “institution” (e.g., {“name”: “Anubhav Jain”, “email”: “ajain@lbl.gov”, “institution”: “LBNL”}).
class matminer.featurizers.structure.BondFractions(nn=<pymatgen.analysis.local_env.CrystalNN object>, bbv=0, no_oxi=False, approx_bonds=False, token=' - ', allowed_bonds=None)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Compute the fraction of each bond in a structure, based on NearestNeighbors.

For example, in a structure with 2 Li-O bonds and 3 Li-P bonds:

Li-0: 0.4 Li-P: 0.6

Features:

BondFractions must be fit with iterable of structures before featurization in order to define the allowed bond types (features). To do this, pass a list of allowed_bonds. Otherwise, fit based on a list of structures. If allowed_bonds is defined and BondFractions is also fit, the intersection of the two lists of possible bonds is used.

For dataframes containing structures of various compositions, a unified dataframe is returned which has the collection of all possible bond types gathered from all structures as columns. To approximate bonds based on chemical rules (ie, for a structure which you’d like to featurize but has bonds not in the allowed set), use approx_bonds = True.

BondFractions is based on the “sum over bonds” in the Bag of Bonds approach, based on a method by Hansen et. al “Machine Learning Predictions of Molecular Properties: Accurate Many-Body Potentials and Nonlocality in Chemical Space” (2015).

Args:
nn (NearestNeighbors): A Pymatgen nearest neighbors derived object. For
example, pymatgen.analysis.local_env.VoronoiNN().
bbv (float): The ‘bad bond values’, values substituted for
structure-bond combinations which can not physically exist, but exist in the unified dataframe. For example, if a dataframe contains structures of BaLiP and BaTiO3, determines the value to place in the Li-P column for the BaTiO3 row; by default, is 0.
no_oxi (bool): If True, the featurizer will be agnostic to oxidation
states, which prevents oxidation states from differentiating bonds. For example, if True, Ca - O is identical to Ca2+ - O2-, Ca3+ - O-, etc., and all of them will be included in Ca - O column.
approx_bonds (bool): If True, approximates the fractions of bonds not
in allowed_bonds (forbidden bonds) with similar allowed bonds. Chemical rules are used to determine which bonds are most ‘similar’; particularly, the Euclidean distance between the 2-tuples of the bonds in Mendeleev no. space is minimized for the approximate bond chosen.
token (str): The string used to separate species in a bond, including
spaces. The token must contain at least one space and cannot have alphabetic characters in it, and should be padded by spaces. For example, for the bond Cs+ - Cl-, the token is ‘ - ‘. This determines how bonds are represented in the dataframe.
allowed_bonds ([str]): A listlike object containing bond types as
strings. For example, Cs - Cl, or Li+ - O2-. Ions and elements will still have distinct bonds if (1) the bonds list originally contained them and (2) no_oxi is False. These must match the token specified.

class matminer.featurizers.structure.ChemicalOrdering(shells=(1, 2, 3), weight='area')

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

How much the ordering of species in the structure differs from random

These parameters describe how much the ordering of all species in a structure deviates from random using a Warren-Cowley-like ordering parameter. The first step of this calculation is to determine the nearest neighbor shells of each site. Then, for each shell a degree of order for each type is determined by computing:

:math:`lpha (t,s) = 1 -

rac{sum_n w_n delta (t - t_n)}{x_t sum_n w_n}`

where w_n is the weight associated with a certain neighbor, t_p is the type of the neighbor, and x_t is the fraction of type t in the structure. For atoms that are randomly dispersed in a structure, this formula yields 0 for all types. For structures where each site is surrounded only by atoms of another type, this formula yields large values of alpha.

The mean absolute value of this parameter across all sites is used as a feature.

Features:
mean ordering parameter shell [n] - Mean ordering parameter for
atoms in the n<sup>th</sup> neighbor shell

class matminer.featurizers.structure.MinimumRelativeDistances(cutoff=10.0)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Determines the relative distance of each site to its closest neighbor.

We use the relative distance, f_ij = r_ij / (r^atom_i + r^atom_j), as a measure rather than the absolute distances, r_ij, to account for the fact that different atoms/species have different sizes. The function uses the valence-ionic radius estimator implemented in Pymatgen. Args:

class matminer.featurizers.structure.OrbitalFieldMatrix(period_tag=False, flatten=False)

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Representation based on the valence shell electrons of neighboring atoms.

Each atom is described by a 32-element vector (or 39-element vector, see period tag for details) uniquely representing the valence subshell. A 32x32 (39x39) matrix is formed by multiplying two atomic vectors. An OFM for an atomic environment is the sum of these matrices for each atom the center atom coordinates with multiplied by a distance function (In this case, 1/r times the weight of the coordinating atom in the Voronoi

Polyhedra method). The OFM of a structure or molecule is the average of the OFMs for all the sites in the structure.
Args:
period_tag (bool): In the original OFM, an element is represented
by a vector of length 32, where each element is 1 or 0, which represents the valence subshell of the element. With period_tag=True, the vector size is increased to 39, where the 7 extra elements represent the period of the element. Note lanthanides are treated as period 6, actinides as period 7. Default False as in the original paper.
flatten (bool): Flatten the avg OFM to a 1024-vector (if period_tag
False) or a 1521-vector (if period_tag=True).
…attribute:: size
Either 32 or 39, the size of the vectors used to describe elements.

class matminer.featurizers.structure.StructuralHeterogeneity(weight='area', stats=('minimum', 'maximum', 'range', 'mean', 'avg_dev'))

Bases: matminer.featurizers.base.BaseFeaturizer

Variance in the bond lengths and atomic volumes in a structure

These features are based on several statistics derived from the Voronoi tessellation of a structure. The first set of features relate to the variance in the average bond length across all atoms in the structure. The second relate to the variance of bond lengths between each neighbor of each atom. The final feature is the variance in Voronoi cell sizes across the structure.

We define the ‘average bond length’ of a site as the weighted average of the bond lengths for all neighbors. By default, the weight is the area of the face between the sites.

The ‘neighbor distance variation’ is defined as the weighted mean absolute deviation in both length for all neighbors of a particular site. As before, the weight is according to face area by default. For this statistic, we divide the mean absolute deviation by the mean neighbor distance for that site.

Features:
mean absolute deviation in relative bond length - Mean absolute deviation
in the average bond lengths for all sites, divided by the mean average bond length
max relative bond length - Maximum average bond length, divided by the
mean average bond length
min relative bond length - Minimum average bond length, divided by the
mean average bond length
[stat] neighbor distance variation - Statistic (e.g., mean) of the
neighbor distance variation
mean absolute deviation in relative cell size - Mean absolute deviation
in the Voronoi cell volume across all sites in the structure. Divided by the mean Voronoi cell volume.
