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.

feature_importance

Feature importance for Vowpal Wabbit regressor.

fit

Fits estimator to data.

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.

predict

Make predictions using selected features.

predict_proba

Make probability estimates for labels.

save

Saves component at file path.

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

property feature_importance(self)#

Feature importance for Vowpal Wabbit regressor.

fit(self, X, y=None)#

Fits estimator to data.

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

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.

predict(self, X)#

Make predictions using selected features.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame) – Data of shape [n_samples, n_features].

Returns

Predicted values.

Return type

pd.Series

Raises

MethodPropertyNotFoundError – If estimator does not have a predict method or a component_obj that implements predict.

predict_proba(self, X)#

Make probability estimates for labels.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame) – Features.

Returns

Probability estimates.

Return type

pd.Series

Raises

MethodPropertyNotFoundError – If estimator does not have a predict_proba method or a component_obj that implements predict_proba.

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.
