MultiplexRegressor

class MultiplexRegressor(regressors: list, selected_regressor=None)

MultiplexRegressor for selecting among different models.

MultiplexRegressor facilitates a framework for performing model selection process over different model classes. It should be used in conjunction with GridSearchCV to get full utilization. It can be used with univariate and multivariate regressors, single-output and multi-output regressors.

MultiplexRegressor is specified with a (named) list of regressors and a selected_regressor hyper-parameter, which is one of the regressor names. The MultiplexRegressor then behaves precisely as the regressor with name selected_regressor, ignoring functionality in the other regressors.

When used with GridSearchCV, MultiplexRegressor provides an ability to tune across multiple estimators, i.e., to perform AutoML, by tuning the selected_regressor hyper-parameter. This combination will then select one of the passed regressors via the tuning algorithm.

Parameters:

regressorslist of sktime regressors, or

list of tuples (str, estimator) of sktime regressors MultiplexRegressor can switch (“multiplex”) between these regressors. These are “blueprint” regressors, states do not change when fit is called.

selected_regressor: str or None, optional, Default=None.

If str, must be one of the regressor names.

If no names are provided, must coincide with auto-generated name strings. To inspect auto-generated name strings, call get_params.

If None, behaves as if the first regressor in the list is selected. Selects the regressor as which MultiplexRegressor behaves.

Attributes:

regressor_sktime regressor

clone of the selected regressor used for fitting and regression.

_regressorslist of (str, regressor) tuples

Regressors turned into name/est tuples.

check_is_fitted(method_name=None)

Check if the estimator has been fitted.

Check if _is_fitted attribute is present and True. The is_fitted attribute should be set to True in calls to an object’s fit method.

If not, raises a NotFittedError.

Parameters:

method_namestr, optional

Name of the method that called this function. If provided, the error message will include this information.

Raises:

NotFittedError

If the estimator has not been fitted yet.

clone()

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

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()).

Also equivalent in value to a call of self.reset, with the exception that clone returns a new object, instead of mutating self like reset.

Raises:

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

clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)

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.

Returns:

self

Reference to self.

classmethod create_test_instance(parameter_set='default')

Create list of all test instances and a list of names for them.

Parameters:

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

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))``.

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

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.

    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:

Valid parameter keys can be listed with get_params().

Returns:

selfreturns an instance of self.

set_random_state(random_state=None, deep=True, self_policy='copy')

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)

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.
