evalml.pipelines.components.Estimator

class evalml.pipelines.components.Estimator(parameters=None, component_obj=None, random_state=0, **kwargs)

A component that fits and predicts given data.

To implement a new Transformer, define your own class which is a subclass of Transformer, including a name and a list of acceptable ranges for any parameters to be tuned during the automl search (hyperparameters). Define an __init__ method which sets up any necessary state and objects. Make sure your __init__ only uses standard keyword arguments and calls super().__init__() with a parameters dict. You may also override the fit, transform, fit_transform and other methods in this class if appropriate.

To see some examples, check out the definitions of any Estimator component.
