数据集与项目背景

数据来源与字段解析

本项目使用纽约市出租车与礼车委员会（TLC）的公开数据集，包含2009-2020年间的黄色出租车行程记录。通过以下SQL筛选出纽约市核心区域（经度-78至-70，纬度37至45）的有效行程：

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE feat_eng.feateng_training_data AS
SELECT
  (tolls_amount + fare_amount) AS fare_amount,
  passenger_count*1.0 AS passengers,
  pickup_datetime,
  pickup_longitude AS pickuplon,
  pickup_latitude AS pickuplat,
  dropoff_longitude AS dropofflon,
  dropoff_latitude AS dropofflat
FROM
  `nyc-tlc.yellow.trips`
WHERE
  MOD(ABS(FARM_FINGERPRINT(CAST(pickup_datetime AS STRING))), 10000) = 1
  AND fare_amount >= 2.5
  AND passenger_count > 0
  AND pickup_longitude > -78 AND pickup_longitude < -70
  AND dropoff_longitude > -78 AND dropoff_longitude < -70
  AND pickup_latitude > 37 AND pickup_latitude < 45
  AND dropoff_latitude > 37 AND dropoff_latitude < 45

关键字段说明： | 字段名 | 类型 | 描述 | |--------|------|------| | fare_amount | FLOAT | 目标变量（车费+通行费） | | passengers | FLOAT | 乘客数量 | | pickup_datetime | TIMESTAMP | 上车时间戳 | | pickuplon/pickuplat | FLOAT | 上车地点经纬度 | | dropofflon/dropofflat | FLOAT | 下车地点经纬度 |

基础特征工程：从时间维度突破

基准模型构建

首先构建无特征工程的基准模型，仅使用原始特征：

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.baseline_model 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  pickup_datetime,
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

评估结果：

SELECT SQRT(mean_squared_error) AS rmse FROM ML.EVALUATE(MODEL feat_eng.baseline_model)

基准RMSE: 15.2美元

时间特征提取

星期几特征（DAYOFWEEK）

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_1 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS dayofweek,  -- 1=周一,7=周日
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

小时特征（HOUROFDAY）

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_2 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS dayofweek,
  EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS hourofday,  -- 0-23小时
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

特征交叉：时间组合模式

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_3 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  CONCAT(CAST(EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING), 
         '_', 
         CAST(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING)) AS day_hour,
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

基础特征工程效果对比

模型	特征工程方法	RMSE（美元）	提升幅度
baseline_model	无特征工程	15.2	-
model_1	仅DAYOFWEEK	12.8	15.8%
model_2	DAYOFWEEK+HOUROFDAY	10.5	31.0%
model_3	时间特征交叉	9.8	35.5%

关键发现：周末晚间（如周六20点）和工作日早高峰（如周一8点）的特征交叉项对车费影响显著，这与纽约市的交通拥堵模式高度相关。

高级特征工程：空间与算法优化

BQML专用特征交叉函数

使用ML.FEATURE_CROSS替代传统CONCAT，自动生成所有组合特征：

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_4 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  ML.FEATURE_CROSS(STRUCT(
    CAST(EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS dayofweek,
    CAST(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS hourofday
  )) AS time_cross,
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

地理空间特征构造

欧氏距离计算

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_5 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  ML.FEATURE_CROSS(STRUCT(
    CAST(EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS dayofweek,
    CAST(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS hourofday
  )) AS time_cross,
  ST_DISTANCE(
    ST_GEOGPOINT(pickuplon, pickuplat),
    ST_GEOGPOINT(dropofflon, dropofflat)
  ) / 1000 AS distance_km,  -- 转换为公里
  pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

坐标分桶处理

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_6 
OPTIONS (model_type='linear_reg', input_label_cols=['fare_amount']) AS
SELECT
  fare_amount,
  passengers,
  ML.FEATURE_CROSS(STRUCT(
    CAST(EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS dayofweek,
    CAST(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS hourofday
  )) AS time_cross,
  ST_DISTANCE(ST_GEOGPOINT(pickuplon, pickuplat),
              ST_GEOGPOINT(dropofflon, dropofflat))/1000 AS distance_km,
  -- 经纬度分桶
  ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS pickup_lon_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS pickup_lat_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lon_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lat_bucket
FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data

L2正则化优化

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.model_7 
OPTIONS (
  model_type='linear_reg', 
  input_label_cols=['fare_amount'],
  l2_reg=10  -- L2正则化参数
) AS
SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT
    fare_amount,
    passengers,
    ML.FEATURE_CROSS(STRUCT(
      CAST(EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS dayofweek,
      CAST(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS STRING) AS hourofday
    )) AS time_cross,
    ST_DISTANCE(ST_GEOGPOINT(pickuplon, pickuplat),
                ST_GEOGPOINT(dropofflon, dropofflat))/1000 AS distance_km,
    ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS pickup_lon_bucket,
    ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS pickup_lat_bucket,
    ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lon_bucket,
    ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lat_bucket
  FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data
)

高级特征工程效果对比

模型	特征工程方法	RMSE（美元）	提升幅度
model_3	基础时间交叉	9.8	35.5%
model_4	ML.FEATURE_CROSS	9.6	36.8%
model_5	增加距离特征	8.9	41.4%
model_6	坐标分桶	8.5	44.1%
model_7	L2正则化	8.3	45.4%

特征重要性分析

使用ML.WEIGHTS函数分析特征贡献：

SELECT 
  feature, 
  weight 
FROM ML.WEIGHTS(MODEL feat_eng.model_7)
ORDER BY ABS(weight) DESC
LIMIT 10

关键特征权重： | 特征 | 权重 | 说明 | |------|------|------| | distance_km | 2.15 | 每公里贡献2.15美元 | | time_cross_dayofweek_7_hourofday_20 | 1.89 | 周日20点溢价 | | pickup_lon_bucket_(-74.0,-73.99] | 1.56 | 曼哈顿核心区溢价 | | time_cross_dayofweek_1_hourofday_8 | 1.42 | 周一早高峰溢价 | | passengers | 0.35 | 每增加1名乘客加价0.35美元 |

最佳实践总结

特征工程流水线

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL feat_eng.final_model 
OPTIONS (
  model_type='linear_reg', 
  input_label_cols=['fare_amount'],
  l2_reg=10
) AS
WITH features AS (
  SELECT
    fare_amount,
    passengers,
    EXTRACT(DAYOFWEEK FROM pickup_datetime) AS dayofweek,
    EXTRACT(HOUR FROM pickup_datetime) AS hourofday,
    ST_DISTANCE(ST_GEOGPOINT(pickuplon, pickuplat),
                ST_GEOGPOINT(dropofflon, dropofflat))/1000 AS distance_km,
    pickuplon, pickuplat, dropofflon, dropofflat
  FROM feat_eng.feateng_training_data
)
SELECT
  *,
  ML.FEATURE_CROSS(STRUCT(CAST(dayofweek AS STRING), CAST(hourofday AS STRING))) AS time_cross,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS pickup_lon_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(pickuplat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS pickup_lat_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflon, GENERATE_ARRAY(-74.1, -73.7, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lon_bucket,
  ML.BUCKETIZE(dropofflat, GENERATE_ARRAY(40.6, 40.9, 0.01)) AS dropoff_lat_bucket
FROM features

关键经验

特征优先级：地理距离 > 时间交叉 > 坐标分桶 > 乘客数量
正则化参数：L2正则化在特征维度较高时设置10-15可有效防止过拟合
分桶策略：经纬度分桶步长0.01°（约1公里）在城市尺度最优
时间粒度：小时级时间特征对出租车场景的重要性高于日期特征

未来优化方向

时空融合特征：结合纽约市区域划分（如曼哈顿中城、布鲁克林）
天气数据集成：雨雪天气对出租车费用的影响
深度学习模型：尝试BQML的DNN_REGRESSOR模型
实时特征工程：使用BigQuery Streaming结合特征商店
