For some reason I thought we had a "prefit" parameter.

I think we should.

Hi, Rares,

vc = VotingClassifier(...)
vc.estimators_ = [e1, e2, ...]
vc.le_ = ...
vc.predict(...)

But I am not sure it is recommended to modify the "private" estimators_ and le_ 
attributes.

I think that this may work if you don't call the fit method of the 
VotingClassifier after that due to
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/ef5cb84a/sklearn/ensemble/voting_classifier.py#L186

Also, I see that we have only added one check in predict(), "check_is_fitted(self, 
'estimators_')", for checking that the VotingClassifier was fit, so your proposed 
method could/should work as a workaround ;)

Best,
Sebastian

I am looking at VotingClassifier but it seems that it is expected that the 
estimators are fitted when VotingClassifier.fit() is called. I don't see how I 
can have already fitted classifiers combined under a VotingClassifier.
I think the opposite is true: The classifiers provided via an `estimators` argument upon 
initialization will be cloned and fitted if you call VotingClassifier's  fit(). Based on 
your follow-up question, I think you meant "it is expected that the estimators are 
*not* fitted when VotingClassifier.fit() is called," right?!
Yes, you are right. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the pointer!

I am also exploring something like:

vc = VotingClassifier(...)
vc.estimators_ = [e1, e2, ...]
vc.le_ = ...
vc.predict(...)

But I am not sure it is recommended to modify the "private" estimators_ and le_ 
attributes.
