Module pipeline (1.29.0)

For composing estimators together. This module is styled after scikit-learn's pipeline module: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/pipeline.html.

Pipeline of transforms with a final estimator.

Sequentially apply a list of transforms and a final estimator. Intermediate steps of the pipeline must be transforms. That is, they must implement fit and transform methods. The final estimator only needs to implement fit.

The purpose of the pipeline is to assemble several steps that can be cross-validated together while setting different parameters. This simplifies code and allows for deploying an estimator and preprocessing together, e.g. with Pipeline.to_gbq(...).
