classmethod get_test_params(parameter_set='default')[source]#

Return testing parameter settings for the estimator.

Parameters:

parameter_setstr, default=”default”: Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return "default" set. For classifiers, a “default” set of parameters should be provided for general testing, and a “results_comparison” set for comparing against previously recorded results if the general set does not produce suitable probabilities to compare against.

Returns:

paramsdict or list of dict, default={}: Parameters to create testing instances of the class. Each dict are parameters to construct an “interesting” test instance, i.e., MyClass(**params) or MyClass(**params[i]) creates a valid test instance. create_test_instance uses the first (or only) dictionary in params.

check_is_fitted()[source]#

Check if the estimator has been fitted.

Raises:

NotFittedError: If the estimator has not been fitted yet.

clone()[source]#

Obtain a clone of the object with same hyper-parameters.

A clone is a different object without shared references, in post-init state. This function is equivalent to returning sklearn.clone of self.

Raises:

RuntimeError if the clone is non-conforming, due to faulty __init__.

Notes

If successful, equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)[source]#

Clone tags from another estimator as dynamic override.

Parameters:

tag_namesstr or list of str, default = None: Names of tags to clone. If None then all tags in estimator are used as tag_names.

Returns:

Self: Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by setting tag values in tag_set from estimator as dynamic tags in self.

classmethod create_test_instance(parameter_set='default')[source]#

Construct Estimator instance if possible.

Parameters:

Notes

get_test_params can return dict or list of dict. This function takes first or single dict that get_test_params returns, and constructs the object with that.

Parameters:

parameter_setstr, default=”default”: Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set.

Parameters:

pathNone or file location (str or Path): if None, self is saved to an in-memory object if file location, self is saved to that file location. If:

path=”estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be made at cwd. path=”/home/stored/estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be stored in /home/stored/.
serialization_format: str, default = “pickle”: Module to use for serialization. The available options are “pickle” and “cloudpickle”. Note that non-default formats might require installation of other soft dependencies.

Returns:

float, accuracy score of predict(X) vs y

set_config(**config_dict)[source]#

Set config flags to given values.

Parameters:

config_dictdict

Dictionary of config name : config value pairs. Valid configs, values, and their meaning is listed below:

displaystr, “diagram” (default), or “text”

how jupyter kernels display instances of self

“diagram” = html box diagram representation
“text” = string printout

print_changed_onlybool, default=True

whether printing of self lists only self-parameters that differ from defaults (False), or all parameter names and values (False). Does not nest, i.e., only affects self and not component estimators.

warningsstr, “on” (default), or “off”

whether to raise warnings, affects warnings from sktime only

“on” = will raise warnings from sktime
“off” = will not raise warnings from sktime

backend:parallelstr, optional, default=”None”

backend to use for parallelization when broadcasting/vectorizing, one of

“None”: executes loop sequentally, simple list comprehension
“loky”, “multiprocessing” and “threading”: uses joblib.Parallel
“joblib”: custom and 3rd party joblib backends, e.g., spark
“dask”: uses dask, requires dask package in environment

backend:parallel:paramsdict, optional, default={} (no parameters passed)

additional parameters passed to the parallelization backend as config. Valid keys depend on the value of backend:parallel:

“None”: no additional parameters, backend_params is ignored
“loky”, “multiprocessing” and “threading”: default joblib backends any valid keys for joblib.Parallel can be passed here, e.g., n_jobs, with the exception of backend which is directly controlled by backend. If n_jobs is not passed, it will default to -1, other parameters will default to joblib defaults.
“joblib”: custom and 3rd party joblib backends, e.g., spark. Any valid keys for joblib.Parallel can be passed here, e.g., n_jobs, backend must be passed as a key of backend_params in this case. If n_jobs is not passed, it will default to -1, other parameters will default to joblib defaults.
“dask”: any valid keys for dask.compute can be passed, e.g., scheduler

Returns:

selfreference to self.

Notes

Changes object state, copies configs in config_dict to self._config_dynamic.

set_params(**params)[source]#

Set the parameters of this object.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on composite objects. Parameter key strings <component>__<parameter> can be used for composites, i.e., objects that contain other objects, to access <parameter> in the component <component>. The string <parameter>, without <component>__, can also be used if this makes the reference unambiguous, e.g., there are no two parameters of components with the name <parameter>.

Parameters:

**paramsdict: BaseObject parameters, keys must be <component>__<parameter> strings. __ suffixes can alias full strings, if unique among get_params keys.

Returns:

selfreference to self (after parameters have been set)

set_random_state(random_state=None, deep=True, self_policy='copy')[source]#

Set random_state pseudo-random seed parameters for self.

Finds random_state named parameters via estimator.get_params, and sets them to integers derived from random_state via set_params. These integers are sampled from chain hashing via sample_dependent_seed, and guarantee pseudo-random independence of seeded random generators.

Applies to random_state parameters in estimator depending on self_policy, and remaining component estimators if and only if deep=True.

Note: calls set_params even if self does not have a random_state, or none of the components have a random_state parameter. Therefore, set_random_state will reset any scikit-base estimator, even those without a random_state parameter.

Parameters:

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pseudo-random number generator to control the generation of the random integers. Pass int for reproducible output across multiple function calls.

deepbool, default=True

Whether to set the random state in sub-estimators. If False, will set only self’s random_state parameter, if exists. If True, will set random_state parameters in sub-estimators as well.

self_policystr, one of {“copy”, “keep”, “new”}, default=”copy”

“copy” : estimator.random_state is set to input random_state
“keep” : estimator.random_state is kept as is
“new” : estimator.random_state is set to a new random state,

derived from input random_state, and in general different from it

Returns:

selfreference to self

set_tags(**tag_dict)[source]#

Set dynamic tags to given values.

Parameters:

**tag_dictdict: Dictionary of tag name: tag value pairs.

Returns:

Self: Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by setting tag values in tag_dict as dynamic tags in self.
