Hi

I cannot think of a short and simple SQL "one liner" statement but can think of a short script that will do that using SQL statements.

In pseudo-code, translate to your favorite language:


# get the unique classes

SELECT distinct(label) FROM table;

-> fetch results in an array "txt_label"

# iterate over array and insert new integer labels in table

int_label = 0

foreach txt_label {

    INSERT INTO table.label_int VALUES int_label WHERE label = 'txt_label'

    n++

}


This may seem obvious to you, but since you asked :-)

Cheers and good luck


Hernán

Hi,

I have a landuse map with text labels (forest, street, ...). For
r.learn.ml I need to have them as numeric classes.
It is not important for me which number is assigned but I search for
an automated solution, i.e. SQL statement unless there is a different
way.

So:

cat|label|label_int
1|forest|1
2|forest|1
3|street|2
4|forest|1
5|street|2
6|urban|3
...

I guess I have done that already some years ago but I can't remember
the trick :-)

thanks for a hint,
Markus
