This intends to solve #1805, ensuring that appropriate metaestimators have
hasattr(metaest, method) == True
iff the sub-estimator does for the set of standard methods:inverse_transform
,transform
,predict
,predict_proba
,predict_log_proba
,decision_function
,score
.I posted this as a WIP so that you can:
I currently take the approach of testing for attributes only after fitting. There may be problems if ducktyping is used before fitting on, say, a
GridSearchCV
, but I guess that's just something we'll have to be aware of when working with ducktyping.I also am not currently dealing with metaestimators that delegate their
fit
methods. (I'm not sure if they exist, but I have considered some.)(I have pulled in the relevant commit from #1769 and removed its Pipeline-particular testing.)
