evalml.pipelines.components.BaselineClassifier

class evalml.pipelines.components.BaselineClassifier(strategy='mode', random_state=None, random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]

Classifier that predicts using the specified strategy.

This is useful as a simple baseline classifier to compare with other classifiers.
