Hi Vlad/All,
Thanks for the pointers. The reason I return a copy of X is because I don't 
want to modify the dataset during grid search with cross validation (I'm not 
sure if the argument of transform is a deep copy or shallow copy).

I implemented the class like the below. Basically a transformer that does 
nothing, with no parameters. 

class myTransformer(BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        pass
    def fit(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self
    def transform(self, X, **transform_params):
        return X.copy()
    def set_params(self, **params):
        return self
    def get_params(self, deep=True):
        return None

I'm getting this error when using it in a pipeline (during grid search cv, 
where the pipeline is standard scaler + myTransformer  + svm ): 
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

Do you know what the issue might be?


Thank you,

Hi Roberto,

This is all documented in more detail here: [1]

The transform looks good (just that you might want to add a flag to avoid 
memory copies when you can afford to destroy the original data).

It’s not clear what the intention of `my_param` is here. It’s not user 
specified, right? Conventionally, fitted attributes are suffixed with an 
underscore (`self.my_param_`) and you shouldn’t initialize them in `__init__` 
(see [2])

Also, if you do intend to have user-specified attributes, this would break grid 
search, because your `set_params` function does nothing. There are 
implementations of `set_params` and `get_params` in 
`sklearn.base.BaseEstimator`, as Gael said. Just inherit from the 
`BaseEstimator` and those should work, as long as you respect the scikit-learn 
convention that the `__init__` function doesn’t change the parameters (see [3])

Hope this helps!

Yours,
Vlad
