sklearn.base.clone

sklearn.base.clone(estimator, safe=True) [source]

Constructs a new estimator with the same parameters.

Clone does a deep copy of the model in an estimator without actually copying attached data. It yields a new estimator with the same parameters that has not been fit on any data.

Parameters:	estimator : estimator object, or list, tuple or set of objects The estimator or group of estimators to be cloned safe : boolean, optional If safe is false, clone will fall back to a deep copy on objects that are not estimators.
