OptionalPassthrough

OptionalPassthrough

class OptionalPassthrough(transformer, passthrough=False)[source]

Wrap an existing transformer to tune whether to include it in a pipeline.

Allows tuning the implicit hyperparameter whether or not to use a particular transformer inside a pipeline (e.g. TransformedTargetForecaster) or not. This is achieved by the hyperparameter passthrough which can be added to a tuning grid then (see example).

Parameters:
transformerEstimator

scikit-learn-like or sktime-like transformer to fit and apply to series. this is a “blueprint” transformer, state does not change when fit is called

passthroughbool, default=False
Whether to apply the given transformer or to just

passthrough the data (identity transformation). If, True the transformer is not applied and the OptionalPassthrough uses the identity transformation.

Attributes:
transformer_: transformer,

this clone is fitted when fit is called and provides transform and inverse if passthrough = False, a clone of transformer``passed if passthrough = True, the identity transformer ``Id
