Estimator#

The Estimator interface is implemented by all learners in Rubix ML. It provides basic inference functionality through the predict() method which returns a set of predictions from a dataset. Additionally, it provides methods for returning estimator type and data type compatibility declarations.

Make Predictions#

Return the predictions from a dataset containing unknown samples in an array:

public predict(Dataset $dataset) : array

$predictions = $estimator->predict($dataset);

var_dump($predictions);
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "married"
  [1]=>
  string(8) "divorced"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "married"
}

Note

The return value of predict() is an array containing the predictions in the same order that they were indexed in the dataset.
