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 LDA component.

fit_transform

Fit and transform data using the LDA component.

load

Loads component at file path.

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

Transform data using the fitted LDA component.

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 LDA 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

self

Raises

ValueError – If input data is not all numeric.

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

Fit and transform data using the LDA 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

Raises

ValueError – If input data is not all numeric.

static load(file_path)

Loads component at file path.

Parameters

file_path (str) – Location to load file.

Returns

ComponentBase object

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]

Transform data using the fitted LDA 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

Raises

ValueError – If input data is not all numeric.
