estimator_checks_generator

sklearn.utils.estimator_checks.estimator_checks_generator(estimator, *, legacy:bool=True, expected_failed_checks:dict[str,str]|None=None, mark:Literal['xfail','skip',None]=None, xfail_strict:bool|None=None)[source]

Iteratively yield all check callables for an estimator.

This function is used by parametrize_with_checks and check_estimator to yield all check callables for an estimator. In most cases, these functions should be used instead. When implementing a custom equivalent, please refer to their source code to understand how estimator_checks_generator is intended to be used.

Added in version 1.6.

Parameters:

estimatorestimator object

Estimator instance for which to generate checks.

legacybool, default=True

Whether to include legacy checks. Over time we remove checks from this category and move them into their specific category.

expected_failed_checksdict[str, str], default=None

Dictionary of the form {check_name: reason} for checks that are expected to fail.

mark{“xfail”, “skip”} or None, default=None

Whether to mark the checks that are expected to fail as xfail(pytest.mark.xfail) or skip. Marking a test as “skip” is done via wrapping the check in a function that raises a SkipTest exception.

xfail_strictbool, default=None

Whether to run checks in xfail strict mode. This option is ignored unless mark="xfail". If True, checks that are expected to fail but actually pass will lead to a test failure. If False, unexpectedly passing tests will be marked as xpass. If None, the default pytest behavior is used.

Added in version 1.8.

Returns:

estimator_checks_generatorgenerator

Generator that yields (estimator, check) tuples.
