How can I use `apply` with a function that takes multiple inputs
I have a function that has multiple inputs, and would like to use SFrame.apply to create a new column. I can't find a way to pass two arguments into SFrame.apply.
Ideally, it would take the entry in the column as the first argument, and I would pass in a second argument. Intuitively something like...
def f(arg_1,arg_2):
return arg_1 + arg_2
sf['new_col'] = sf.apply(f,arg_2)
Answer
suppose the first argument of function f is one of the column.
Say argcolumn1 in sf, then
sf['new_col'] = sf['argcolumn1'].apply(lambda x:f(x,arg_2))
should work
