Pipeline#

class Pipeline(steps=None)[source]#

Implementation of a Graphpipeline.

This class is a generalized graph pipeline. Generalized means that it can contain forecasters, classifiers, etc. The graph pipeline mean that the structure is not linear. I.e., the each element of the pipeline can be the input of multiple other steps and not only one successors.

fit(y, X, *args) - changes state by running fit on all sktime estimators and

transformers in the pipeline. Note that depending on the sktime estimators and transformers that are added to the pipeline, different keywords are required. E.g., if a forecaster is part of the pipeline, a forecast horizon (fh) should be provided.

predict(X, *args) - Results in calling predict on the estimators in the pipeline

and transform or the specified method on the other skobjects in the pipeline. Depending on the skobject added to the pipeline, you might need to pass additional parameters to predict.

predict_interval(X, fh), predict_quantiles(X, fh) - as predict(X, fh),

with predict_interval or predict_quantiles substituted for predict.

predict_var, predict_proba - are currently not supported get_params, set_params uses sklearn compatible nesting interface add_step(skobject, name, edges, method, **kwargs) - adds a skobject to the

pipeline and setting the name as identifier and the steps specified with edges as input steps (predecessors). Thereby the method that should be called can be overridden using the method kwarg. Further provided kwargs are directly provided to the skobject if it is called.

Parameters:
param stepsA list of dicts that specify the steps of the pipeline. Further

steps can be added by using add_step method. The dict requires the following keys:

  • skobject: sktime object, the skobject that should be added to the

    pipeline

  • name: str, the name of the step that is created

  • edges: dict, a dict with string keys to string values. Identifying the

    predcessors. The keys of the edges dict specify to which argument of fit/predict/.. the output of the predecessors (the value of the dict specifies the predecessors name) should be passed.

  • method: str, an optional argument allowing to determine the method that

    should be executed when the pipeline calls the provided skobject. If not specified, the pipeline selects the method based on the method that is called on the pipeline (e.g., predict, transform, ..)

  • kwargs: additional kwargs are parameters that are provided to the

    skobject if fit/predict/.. is called.

Attributes:
attribute id_to_true_ida dict with integer keys and values,

mapping the python object id to skobject ids.

attribute id_to_obja dict with integer keys and weak references of

skobjects as values. The values are the weak references of the skobjects provided to the add_step method. We store the weak references to avoid that the id of the object is reassigned if the user deletes all it references to the object.

attribute model_dicta dict with integer keys and skobject values.

This is a mapping of the id of the skobjects provided to add_step to the cloned skobject.

attribute counterinteger, counts the number of steps in the pipeline.
attribute stepsa dict with string keys and step object values.

The key is the name that is specified if a skobject is added to the pipeline.

attribute kwargsa dict with str keys and object values. Stores all kwargs

that are specified and might be passed to skobjects in the pipeline.

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

Equivalent to constructing a new instance of type(self), with parameters of self, that is, type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

If configs were set on self, the clone will also have the same configs as the original, equivalent to calling cloned_self.set_config(**self.get_config()).

Raises:
RuntimeError if the clone is non-conforming, due to faulty __init__.
clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)[source]#

Clone tags from another object as dynamic override.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

clone_tags sets dynamic tag overrides from another object, estimator.

The clone_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

The dynamic tags are set to the values of the tags in estimator, with the names specified in tag_names.

The default of tag_names writes all tags from estimator to self.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:
estimatorAn instance of :class:BaseObject or derived class
tag_namesstr or list of str, default = None

Names of tags to clone. The default (None) clones all tags from estimator.

i-th element is name of i-th instance of obj in tests. The naming convention is {cls.__name__}-{i} if more than one instance, otherwise {cls.__name__}

classmethod get_class_tag(tag_name, tag_value_default=None)[source]#

Get class tag value from class, with tag level inheritance from parents.

It returns the value of the tag with name tag_name from the object, taking into account tag overrides, in the following order of descending priority:

  1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

  2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of parent classes,

in order of inheritance.

Does not take into account dynamic tag overrides on instances, set via set_tags or clone_tags, that are defined on instances.

To retrieve tag values with potential instance overrides, use the get_tag method instead.

Parameters:

Get class tags from class, with tag level inheritance from parent classes.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

The get_class_tags method is a class method, and retrieves the value of a tag taking into account only class-level tag values and overrides.

It returns a dictionary with keys being keys of any attribute of _tags set in the class or any of its parent classes.

Values are the corresponding tag values, with overrides in the following order of descending priority:

  1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

in order of inheritance.

Instances can override these tags depending on hyper-parameters.

To retrieve tags with potential instance overrides, use the get_tags method instead.

get_tags()[source]#

Get tags from instance, with tag level inheritance and overrides.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

in order of inheritance.

Returns:
collected_tagsdict

Dictionary of tag name : tag value pairs. Collected from _tags class attribute via nested inheritance and then any overrides and new tags from _tags_dynamic object attribute.

is_composite()[source]#

A composite object is an object which contains objects, as parameters. Called on an instance, since this may differ by instance.

Returns:
composite: bool

Whether an object has any parameters whose values are BaseObject descendant instances.

property is_fitted[source]#

Whether fit has been called.

Inspects object’s _is_fitted` attribute that should initialize to ``False during object construction, and be set to True in calls to an object’s fit method.

Parameters:
serial1st element of output of cls.save(None)
Returns:
deserialized self resulting in output serial, of cls.save(None)
reset()[source]#

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Results in setting self to the state it had directly after the constructor call, with the same hyper-parameters. Config values set by set_config are also retained.

A reset call deletes any object attributes, except:

  • hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ written to self, e.g., self.paramname where paramname is an argument of __init__

  • object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”. For instance, an attribute named “__myattr” is retained.

  • config attributes, configs are retained without change. That is, results of get_config before and after reset are equal.

Class and object methods, and class attributes are also unaffected.

Equivalent to clone, with the exception that reset mutates self instead of returning a new object.

After a self.reset() call, self is equal in value and state, to the object obtained after a constructor call``type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))``.

Returns:
self

Instance of class reset to a clean post-init state but retaining the current hyper-parameter values.

save(path=None, serialization_format='pickle')[source]#

Save serialized self to bytes-like object or to (.zip) file.

Behaviour:

  • if path is None, returns an in-memory serialized self

  • if path is a file location, stores self at that location as a zip file

saved files are zip files with following contents:

  • _metadata - contains class of self, i.e., type(self)

  • _obj - serialized self. This class uses the default serialization (pickle).

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:
if path is None - in-memory serialized self
if path is file location - ZipFile with reference to the file
set_config(**config_dict)[source]#

  • “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

  • “ray”: The following keys can be passed:

    • “ray_remote_args”: dictionary of valid keys for ray.init

    • “shutdown_ray”: bool, default=True; False prevents ray from

      shutting down after parallelization.

    • “logger_name”: str, default=”ray”; name of the logger to use.

    • “mute_warnings”: bool, default=False; if True, suppresses warnings

Returns:
selfreference to self.

Notes

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

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 self.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 self, depending on self_policy, and remaining component objects 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 object, 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 skbase object valued parameters, i.e., component estimators.

  • If False, will set only self’s random_state parameter, if exists.

  • If True, will set random_state parameters in component objects as well.

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

  • “copy” : self.random_state is set to input random_state

  • “keep” : self.random_state is kept as is

  • “new” : self.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 instance level tag overrides to given values.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags, which are used to store metadata about the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object. They may be used for metadata inspection, or for controlling behaviour of the object.

set_tags sets dynamic tag overrides to the values as specified in tag_dict, with keys being the tag name, and dict values being the value to set the tag to.

The set_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:
**tag_dictdict

Dictionary of tag name: tag value pairs.

Returns:
Self

Reference to self.
