# Token Count Vectorizer
Transform a collection of text samples to a vector of token counts.
### Constructor Parameters
* $tokenizer (Tokenizer) - tokenizer object (see below)
* $minDF (float) - ignore tokens that have a samples frequency strictly lower than the given threshold. This value is also called cut-off in the literature. (default 0)
```
use Phpml\FeatureExtraction\TokenCountVectorizer;
use Phpml\Tokenization\WhitespaceTokenizer;
$vectorizer = new TokenCountVectorizer(new WhitespaceTokenizer());
```
### Transformation
To transform a collection of text samples use `transform` method. Example:
```
$samples = [
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet dolor',
'Mauris placerat ipsum dolor',
'Mauris diam eros fringilla diam',
];
$vectorizer = new TokenCountVectorizer(new WhitespaceTokenizer());
// Build the dictionary.
$vectorizer->fit($samples);
// Transform the provided text samples into a vectorized list.
$vectorizer->transform($samples);
// return $samples = [
2016-05-07 21:53:42 +00:00
// [0 => 1, 1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 1, 4 => 1],
// [5 => 1, 6 => 1, 1 => 1, 2 => 1],
// [5 => 1, 7 => 2, 8 => 1, 9 => 1],
//];

```
### Vocabulary
You can extract vocabulary using `getVocabulary()` method. Example:
```
$vectorizer->getVocabulary();
// return $vocabulary = ['Lorem', 'ipsum', 'dolor', 'sit', 'amet', 'Mauris', 'placerat', 'diam', 'eros', 'fringilla'];
```
### Tokenizers
* WhitespaceTokenizer - select tokens by whitespace.
* WordTokenizer - select tokens of 2 or more alphanumeric characters (punctuation is completely ignored and always treated as a token separator).
* NGramTokenizer - continuous sequence of characters of the specified length. They are useful for querying languages that dont use spaces or that have long compound words, like German.
**NGramTokenizer**
The NGramTokenizer tokenizer accepts the following parameters:
`$minGram` - minimum length of characters in a gram. Defaults to 1.
`$maxGram` - maximum length of characters in a gram. Defaults to 2.
```php
use Phpml\Tokenization\NGramTokenizer;
$tokenizer = new NGramTokenizer(1, 2);
$tokenizer->tokenize('Quick Fox');
// returns ['Q', 'u', 'i', 'c', 'k', 'Qu', 'ui', 'ic', 'ck', 'F', 'o', 'x', 'Fo', 'ox']
```
