skpro.regression.compose.Pipeline#

class skpro.regression.compose.Pipeline(steps)[source]#

Pipeline for probabilistic supervised regression.

Pipeline is only applying the given transformers to X. The regressor can also be a TransformedTargetregressor containing transformers to transform y.

For a list t1, t2, …, tN, r

where t[i] are transformers, and r is an sktime regressor, the pipeline behaves as follows:

fit(X, y) - changes state by running t1.fit_transform with X=X, y=y

then t2.fit_transform on X= the output of t1.fit_transform, y=y, etc sequentially, with t[i] receiving the output of t[i-1] as X, then running r.fit with X being the output of t[N], and y=y

predict(X) - result is of executing r.predict, with X=X

being the result of the following process: running t1.fit_transform with X=X, then t2.fit_transform on X= the output of t1.fit_transform, etc sequentially, with t[i] receiving the output of t[i-1] as X, and returning th output of tN to pass to r.predict as X.

predict_interval(X), predict_quantiles(X) - as predict(X),

with predict_interval or predict_quantiles substituted for predict

predict_var, predict_proba - uses base class default to obtain

crude estimates from predict_quantiles.

get_params, set_params uses sklearn compatible nesting interface

if list is unnamed, names are generated as names of classes if names are non-unique, f”_{str(i)}” is appended to each name string

where i is the total count of occurrence of a non-unique string inside the list of names leading up to it (inclusive)

Pipeline can also be created by using the magic multiplication
on any regressor, i.e., if my_regressor inherits from BaseProbaRegressor,

and my_t1, my_t2, are an sklearn transformer, then, for instance, my_t1 * my_t2 * my_regressor will result in the same object as obtained from the constructor Pipeline([my_t1, my_t2, my_regressor])

magic multiplication can also be used with (str, transformer) pairs,

as long as one element in the chain is a regressor

Parameters:
stepslist of sktime transformers and regressors, or
list of tuples (str, estimator) of sktime transformers or regressors

the list must contain exactly one regressor

these are “blueprint” transformers resp regressors,

regressor/transformer states do not change when fit is called

Attributes:
steps_list of tuples (str, estimator) of sktime transformers or regressors

clones of estimators in steps which are fitted in the pipeline is always in (str, estimator) format, even if steps is just a list strings not passed in steps are replaced by unique generated strings i-th transformer in steps_ is clone of i-th in steps

regressor_estimator, reference to the unique regressor in steps_

Return reference to the regressor in the pipeline.

Raises:
RuntimeError if the clone is non-conforming, due to faulty __init__.
clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)[source]#

Clone tags from another object as dynamic override.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

clone_tags sets dynamic tag overrides from another object, estimator.

The clone_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

The dynamic tags are set to the values of the tags in estimator, with the names specified in tag_names.

The default of tag_names writes all tags from estimator to self.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:
estimatorAn instance of :class:BaseObject or derived class

The get_class_tag method is a class method, and retrieves the value of a tag taking into account only class-level tag values and overrides.

It returns the value of the tag with name tag_name from the object, taking into account tag overrides, in the following order of descending priority:

  1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

  2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of parent classes,

in order of inheritance.

Does not take into account dynamic tag overrides on instances, set via set_tags or clone_tags, that are defined on instances.

To retrieve tag values with potential instance overrides, use the get_tag method instead.

Returns:
tag_value

Value of the tag_name tag in self. If not found, returns tag_value_default.

Get class tags from class, with tag level inheritance from parent classes.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

The get_class_tags method is a class method, and retrieves the value of a tag taking into account only class-level tag values and overrides.

It returns a dictionary with keys being keys of any attribute of _tags set in the class or any of its parent classes.

Values are the corresponding tag values, with overrides in the following order of descending priority:

  1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

  2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of parent classes,

in order of inheritance.

Instances can override these tags depending on hyper-parameters.

To retrieve tags with potential instance overrides, use the get_tags method instead.

Does not take into account dynamic tag overrides on instances, set via set_tags or clone_tags, that are defined on instances.

For including overrides from dynamic tags, use get_tags.

Returns:
collected_tagsdict

Dictionary of tag name : tag value pairs. Collected from _tags class attribute via nested inheritance. NOT overridden by dynamic tags set by set_tags or clone_tags.

get_config()[source]#

Get config flags for self.

Configs are key-value pairs of self, typically used as transient flags for controlling behaviour.

get_config returns dynamic configs, which override the default configs.

Default configs are set in the class attribute _config of the class or its parent classes, and are overridden by dynamic configs set via set_config.

Configs are retained under clone or reset calls.

Returns:
config_dictdict

Dictionary of config name : config value pairs. Collected from _config class attribute via nested inheritance and then any overrides and new tags from _onfig_dynamic object attribute.

Returns:
fitted_paramsdict with str-valued keys

Dictionary of fitted parameters, paramname : paramvalue keys-value pairs include:

  • always: all fitted parameters of this object, as via get_param_names values are fitted parameter value for that key, of this object

  • if deep=True, also contains keys/value pairs of component parameters parameters of components are indexed as [componentname]__[paramname] all parameters of componentname appear as paramname with its value

  • if deep=True, also contains arbitrary levels of component recursion, e.g., [componentname]__[componentcomponentname]__[paramname], etc

classmethod get_param_defaults()[source]#

Get object’s parameter defaults.

Returns:
default_dict: dict[str, Any]

Keys are all parameters of cls that have a default defined in __init__. Values are the defaults, as defined in __init__.

classmethod get_param_names(sort=True)[source]#

Get object’s parameter names.

Parameters:
sortbool, default=True

Whether to return the parameter names sorted in alphabetical order (True), or in the order they appear in the class __init__ (False).

Returns:
param_names: list[str]

List of parameter names of cls. If sort=False, in same order as they appear in the class __init__. If sort=True, alphabetically ordered.

get_params(deep=True)[source]#

Get a dict of parameters values for this object.

This expands on get_params of standard BaseObject by also retrieving components parameters when deep=True a component’s follows the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

Parameters:
deepbool, default=True

Whether to return parameters of components.

  • If True, will return a dict of parameter name : value for this object, including parameters of components.

  • If False, will return a dict of parameter name : value for this object, but not include parameters of components.

Returns:
dict[str, Any]

Dictionary of parameter name and value pairs. Includes direct parameters and indirect parameters whose values implement get_params or follow the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

  • If deep=False the name-value pairs for this object’s direct parameters (you can see these via get_param_names) are returned.

  • If deep=True then the parameter name-value pairs are returned for direct and component (indirect) parameters.

    • When a BaseObject’s direct parameter value implements get_params the component parameters are returned as [direct_param_name]__[component_param_name] for 1st level components. Arbitrary levels of component recursion are supported (if the component has parameter’s whose values are objects that implement get_params). In this case, return parameters follow [direct_param_name]__[component_param_name]__[param_name] format.

    • When a BaseObject’s direct parameter value is a sequence of (name, BaseObject) tuples or dict[str, BaseObject] the parameters name and value pairs of all component objects are returned. The parameter naming follows scikit-learn convention of treating named component objects like they are direct parameters; therefore, the names are assigned as [component_param_name]__[param_name].

get_tag(tag_name, tag_value_default=None, raise_error=True)[source]#

reset()[source]#

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Results in setting self to the state it had directly after the constructor call, with the same hyper-parameters. Config values set by set_config are also retained.

A reset call deletes any object attributes, except:

  • hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ written to self, e.g., self.paramname where paramname is an argument of __init__

  • object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”. For instance, an attribute named “__myattr” is retained.

  • config attributes, configs are retained without change. That is, results of get_config before and after reset are equal.

Class and object methods, and class attributes are also unaffected.

Equivalent to clone, with the exception that reset mutates self instead of returning a new object.

After a self.reset() call, self is equal in value and state, to the object obtained after a constructor call``type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))``.

Returns:
self

Instance of class reset to a clean post-init state but retaining the current hyper-parameter values.

set_config(**config_dict)[source]#

Configs are key-value pairs of self, typically used as transient flags for controlling behaviour.

set_config sets dynamic configs, which override the default configs.

Default configs are set in the class attribute _config of the class or its parent classes, and are overridden by dynamic configs set via set_config.

Configs are retained under clone or reset calls.

Parameters:
config_dictdict

Dictionary of config name : config value pairs.

Returns:
selfreference to self.

Notes

Changes object state, copies configs in config_dict to self._config_dynamic.

set_params(**kwargs)[source]#

Set the object’s direct parameters and the parameters of components.

Valid parameter keys can be listed with get_params().

Like BaseObject implementation it allows values of indirect parameters of a component to be set when a parameter’s value is an object that implements set_params. This also also expands the functionality to allow parameter to allow the indirect parameters of components to be set when a parameter’s values follow the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

Returns:
Self

Instance of self.

set_random_state(random_state=None, deep=True, self_policy='copy')[source]#

Set random_state pseudo-random seed parameters for self.

Finds random_state named parameters via self.get_params, and sets them to integers derived from random_state via set_params. These integers are sampled from chain hashing via sample_dependent_seed, and guarantee pseudo-random independence of seeded random generators.

Applies to random_state parameters in self, depending on self_policy, and remaining component objects if and only if deep=True.

Note: calls set_params even if self does not have a random_state, or none of the components have a random_state parameter. Therefore, set_random_state will reset any scikit-base object, even those without a random_state parameter.

Parameters:
random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pseudo-random number generator to control the generation of the random integers. Pass int for reproducible output across multiple function calls.

deepbool, default=True

  • “copy” : self.random_state is set to input random_state

  • “keep” : self.random_state is kept as is

  • “new” : self.random_state is set to a new random state,

derived from input random_state, and in general different from it

Returns:
selfreference to self
set_tags(**tag_dict)[source]#

Set instance level tag overrides to given values.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

set_tags sets dynamic tag overrides to the values as specified in tag_dict, with keys being the tag name, and dict values being the value to set the tag to.

The set_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:
**tag_dictdict

Dictionary of tag name: tag value pairs.

Returns:
Self

Reference to self.
