sklearn.base.clone¶

sklearn.base.clone(estimator, safe=True)[source]¶

Constructs a new estimator with the same parameters.

Clone does a deep copy of the model in an estimator without actually copying attached data. It yields a new estimator with the same parameters that has not been fit on any data.

Parameters

estimatorestimator object, or list, tuple or set of objects

The estimator or group of estimators to be cloned

safeboolean, optional

If safe is false, clone will fall back to a deep copy on objects that are not estimators.
