You're absolutely right. There's no such thing as an estimator object; rather, there's a class of objects called estimators, which are objects that learn from data. Tried to fix that in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/commit/da968171cfaebb411ca7e781b29052fe068657e4 -- Lars Buitinck Scientific programmer, ILPS University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond. Discussions will include endpoint security, mobile security and the latest in malware threats. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfrnl04242012/114/50122263/ _______________________________________________ Scikit-learn-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scikit-learn-general
