Method Detail

fit

public M fit(Dataset<?> dataset,
    ParamPair<?> firstParamPair,
    ParamPair<?>... otherParamPairs)

Fits a single model to the input data with optional parameters.

Parameters:

dataset - input dataset

firstParamPair - the first param pair, overrides embedded params

otherParamPairs - other param pairs. These values override any specified in this Estimator's embedded ParamMap.

Returns:

fitted model

fit

public M fit(Dataset<?> dataset,
    ParamPair<?> firstParamPair,
    scala.collection.Seq<ParamPair<?>> otherParamPairs)

Fits a single model to the input data with optional parameters.

Parameters:

dataset - input dataset

firstParamPair - the first param pair, overrides embedded params

otherParamPairs - other param pairs. These values override any specified in this Estimator's embedded ParamMap.

Returns:

fitted model

fit

public M fit(Dataset<?> dataset,
    ParamMap paramMap)

Fits a single model to the input data with provided parameter map.

Parameters:

dataset - input dataset

paramMap - Parameter map. These values override any specified in this Estimator's embedded ParamMap.

Returns:

fitted model

fit

public abstract M fit(Dataset<?> dataset)

Fits a model to the input data.

Parameters:

dataset - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

fit

public scala.collection.Seq<M> fit(Dataset<?> dataset,
                          ParamMap[] paramMaps)

Fits multiple models to the input data with multiple sets of parameters. The default implementation uses a for loop on each parameter map. Subclasses could override this to optimize multi-model training.

Parameters:

dataset - input dataset

paramMaps - An array of parameter maps. These values override any specified in this Estimator's embedded ParamMap.

Returns:

fitted models, matching the input parameter maps

copy

public abstract Estimator<M> copy(ParamMap extra)

Description copied from interface: Params

Creates a copy of this instance with the same UID and some extra params. Subclasses should implement this method and set the return type properly. See defaultCopy().

Specified by:

copy in interface Params

Specified by:

copy in class PipelineStage

Parameters:

extra - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)
