Detail behaviour: removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

runs __init__ with current values of hyper-parameters (result of get_params)

Not affected by the reset are: object attributes containing double-underscores class and object methods, class attributes

save(path=None)

Behaviour: if path is None, returns an in-memory serialized self if path is a file location, stores self at that location as a zip file

saved files are zip files with following contents: _metadata - contains class of self, i.e., type(self) _obj - serialized self. This class uses the default serialization (pickle).

Parameters:

pathNone or file location (str or Path).

if None, self is saved to an in-memory object if file location, self is saved to that file location. If:

path=”estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be made at cwd. path=”/home/stored/estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be stored in /home/stored/.

Returns:

if path is None - in-memory serialized self

if path is file location - ZipFile with reference to the file.

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

• False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.

• None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

• str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

set_predict_request(*, fh: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → EnsembleForecaster

Request metadata passed to the predict method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to predict if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

• False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to predict.

• None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

• str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:

fhstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for fh parameter in predict.

Returns:

selfobject

The updated object.

set_score_request(*, fh: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → EnsembleForecaster

Request metadata passed to the score method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to score if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

• False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to score.

• None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

• str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

update(y, X=None, update_params=True)

Update cutoff value and, optionally, fitted parameters.

If no estimator-specific update method has been implemented, default fall-back is as follows:

update_params=True: fitting to all observed data so far update_params=False: updates cutoff and remembers data only

State required:

Requires state to be “fitted”.

Accesses in self:

Fitted model attributes ending in “_”. Pointers to seen data, self._y and self.X self.cutoff, self._is_fitted If update_params=True, model attributes ending in “_”.

Writes to self:

Update self._y and self._X with y and X, by appending rows. Updates self.cutoff and self._cutoff to last index seen in y. If update_params=True,

updates fitted model attributes ending in “_”.

Parameters:

ytime series in aeon compatible data container format

Time series to which to fit the forecaster in the update.

y can be in one of the following formats, must be same abstract type as in fit: Series abstract type: pd.Series, pd.DataFrame, or np.ndarray (1D or 2D)

for vanilla forecasting, one time series

Panel abstract type: pd.DataFrame with 2-level row MultiIndex,

3D np.ndarray, list of Series pd.DataFrame, or nested pd.DataFrame for global or panel forecasting

Hierarchical abstract type: pd.DataFrame with 3 or more level row MultiIndex

for hierarchical forecasting

Number of columns admissible depend on the “y_input_type” tag:

if self.get_tag(“y_input_type”)==”univariate”:

y must have a single column/variable

if self.get_tag(“y_input_type”)==”multivariate”:

y must have 2 or more columns

if self.get_tag(“y_input_type”)==”both”: no restrictions apply

For further details:

See examples/forecasting, or examples/datasets,

Xtime series in aeon compatible format, default=None

Exogeneous time series to fit to

Should be of same type (Series, Panel, or Hierarchical) as y if self.get_tag(“X-y-must-have-same-index”), X.index must contain y.index there are no restrictions on number of columns (unlike for y)

update_paramsbool, default=True

whether model parameters should be updated

Returns:

selfreference to self

update_predict(y, cv=None, X=None, update_params=True, reset_forecaster=True)

Make predictions and update model iteratively over the test set.

State required:

Requires state to be “fitted”.

Accesses in self:

Fitted model attributes ending in “_”. Pointers to seen data, self._y and self.X self.cutoff, self._is_fitted If update_params=True, model attributes ending in “_”.

Writes to self, if reset_forecaster=False:

Update self._y and self._X with y and X, by appending rows. Updates self.cutoff and self._cutoff to last index seen in y. If update_params=True,

updates fitted model attributes ending in “_”.

Does not update state if reset_forecaster=True.

Parameters:

update_paramsbool, default=True

Whether model parameters should be updated in each update step.

reset_forecasterbool, default=True

If True, will not change the state of the forecaster,

i.e., update/predict sequence is run with a copy, and cutoff, model parameters, data memory of self do not change

if False, will update self when the update/predict sequence is run

as if update/predict were called directly

Returns:

y_predobject that tabulates point forecasts from multiple split batches

Format depends on pairs (cutoff, absolute horizon) forecast overall if collection of absolute horizon points is unique:

type is time series in aeon compatible data container format cutoff is suppressed in output has same type as the y that has been passed most recently: Series, Panel, Hierarchical abstract type, same format (see above)

if collection of absolute horizon points is not unique:

type is a pandas DataFrame, with row and col index being time stamps row index corresponds to cutoffs that are predicted from column index corresponds to absolut horizons that are predicted entry is the point prediction of col index predicted from row index entry is nan if no prediction is made at that (cutoff, horizon) pair.

update_predict_single(y=None, fh=None, X=None, update_params=True)
