sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline

class sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline(steps, memory=None) [source]

Pipeline of transforms with a final estimator.

Sequentially apply a list of transforms and a final estimator. Intermediate steps of the pipeline must be ‘transforms’, that is, they must implement fit and transform methods. The final estimator only needs to implement fit. The transformers in the pipeline can be cached using memory argument.

The purpose of the pipeline is to assemble several steps that can be cross-validated together while setting different parameters. For this, it enables setting parameters of the various steps using their names and the parameter name separated by a ‘__’, as in the example below. A step’s estimator may be replaced entirely by setting the parameter with its name to another estimator, or a transformer removed by setting to None.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

steps : list List of (name, transform) tuples (implementing fit/transform) that are chained, in the order in which they are chained, with the last object an estimator. memory : None, str or object with the joblib.Memory interface, optional Used to cache the fitted transformers of the pipeline. By default, no caching is performed. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory. Enabling caching triggers a clone of the transformers before fitting. Therefore, the transformer instance given to the pipeline cannot be inspected directly. Use the attribute named_steps or steps to inspect estimators within the pipeline. Caching the transformers is advantageous when fitting is time consuming.

Attributes:

named_steps : bunch object, a dictionary with attribute access Read-only attribute to access any step parameter by user given name. Keys are step names and values are steps parameters.

decision_function(X) [source]

Apply transforms, and decision_function of the final estimator

Parameters:	X : iterable Data to predict on. Must fulfill input requirements of first step of the pipeline.
Returns:	y_score : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_classes]

fit(X, y=None, **fit_params) [source]

Fit the model

Fit all the transforms one after the other and transform the data, then fit the transformed data using the final estimator.

Parameters:	X : iterable Training data. Must fulfill input requirements of first step of the pipeline. y : iterable, default=None Training targets. Must fulfill label requirements for all steps of the pipeline. **fit_params : dict of string -> object Parameters passed to the fit method of each step, where each parameter name is prefixed such that parameter p for step s has key s__p.
Returns:	self : Pipeline This estimator

fit_predict(X, y=None, **fit_params) [source]

Applies fit_predict of last step in pipeline after transforms.

Applies fit_transforms of a pipeline to the data, followed by the fit_predict method of the final estimator in the pipeline. Valid only if the final estimator implements fit_predict.

Parameters:	X : iterable Training data. Must fulfill input requirements of first step of the pipeline. y : iterable, default=None Training targets. Must fulfill label requirements for all steps of the pipeline. **fit_params : dict of string -> object Parameters passed to the fit method of each step, where each parameter name is prefixed such that parameter p for step s has key s__p.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params) [source]
