class evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.samplers.base_sampler.BaseSampler(parameters=None, component_obj=None, random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]

Base Sampler component. Used as the base class of all sampler components.

Parameters
  • parameters (dict) – Dictionary of parameters for the component. Defaults to None.

  • component_obj (obj) – Third-party objects useful in component implementation. Defaults to None.

  • random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

Attributes

modifies_features

True

modifies_target

True

training_only

True

Methods

clone

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

default_parameters

Returns the default parameters for this component.

describe

Describe a component and its parameters.

fit

Fits the sampler to the data.

fit_transform

Fit and transform data using the sampler component.

load

Loads component at file path.

name

Returns string name of this component.

needs_fitting

Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.

parameters

Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.

save

Saves component at file path.

transform

Transforms the input data by sampling the data.

clone(self)

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

Returns

A new instance of this component with identical parameters and random state.

default_parameters(cls)

Returns the default parameters for this component.

Our convention is that Component.default_parameters == Component().parameters.

Returns

Default parameters for this component.

Return type

dict

describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False)

Describe a component and its parameters.

Parameters
  • print_name (bool, optional) – whether to print name of component

  • return_dict (bool, optional) – whether to return description as dictionary in the format {“name”: name, “parameters”: parameters}

Returns

Returns dictionary if return_dict is True, else None.

Return type

None or dict

fit(self, X, y)[source]

Fits the sampler to the data.

Parameters
  • X (pd.DataFrame) – Input features.

  • y (pd.Series) – Target.

Returns

self

Raises

ValueError – If y is None.

fit_transform(self, X, y)[source]

Fit and transform data using the sampler component.

Parameters
  • X (pd.DataFrame) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features].

  • y (pd.Series, optional) – The target training data of length [n_samples].

Returns

Transformed data.

Return type

(pd.DataFrame, pd.Series)

static load(file_path)

Loads component at file path.

Parameters

file_path (str) – Location to load file.

Returns

ComponentBase object

property name(cls)

Returns string name of this component.

needs_fitting(self)

Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.

This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing.

Returns

True.

property parameters(self)

Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.

save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL)

Saves component at file path.

Parameters
  • file_path (str) – Location to save file.

  • pickle_protocol (int) – The pickle data stream format.

transform(self, X, y=None)[source]

Transforms the input data by sampling the data.

Parameters
  • X (pd.DataFrame) – Training features.

  • y (pd.Series) – Target.

Returns

Transformed features and target.

Return type

pd.DataFrame, pd.Series
