Natural language columns are ignored. :param impute_strategy: Impute strategy to use. Valid values include "mean", "median", "most_frequent", "constant" for numerical data, and "most_frequent", "constant" for object data types. :type impute_strategy: string :param fill_value: When impute_strategy == "constant", fill_value is used to replace missing data. Defaults to 0 when imputing numerical data and "missing_value" for strings or object data types. :type fill_value: string :param random_seed: Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0. :type random_seed: int **Attributes** .. list-table:: :widths: 15 85 :header-rows: 0 * - **hyperparameter_ranges** - { "impute_strategy": ["mean", "median", "most_frequent"]} * - **modifies_features** - True * - **modifies_target** - False * - **name** - Simple Imputer * - **training_only** - False **Methods** .. autoapisummary:: :nosignatures: evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.clone evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.default_parameters evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.describe evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.fit evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.fit_transform evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.load evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.needs_fitting evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.parameters evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.save evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.imputers.simple_imputer.SimpleImputer.transform .. py:method:: 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. .. py:method:: 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. :rtype: dict .. py:method:: describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False) Describe a component and its parameters. :param print_name: whether to print name of component :type print_name: bool, optional :param return_dict: whether to return description as dictionary in the format {"name": name, "parameters": parameters} :type return_dict: bool, optional :returns: Returns dictionary if return_dict is True, else None. :rtype: None or dict .. py:method:: fit(self, X, y=None) Fits imputer to data.

This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing. :returns: True. .. py:method:: parameters(self) :property: Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component. .. py:method:: save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL) Saves component at file path. :param file_path: Location to save file. :type file_path: str :param pickle_protocol: The pickle data stream format. :type pickle_protocol: int .. py:method:: transform(self, X, y=None) Transforms input by imputing missing values.
