y

skrub.y(value=NULL)

Create a skrub variable and mark it as being y.

This is just a convenient shortcut for:

skrub.var("y", value).skb.mark_as_y()

Marking a variable as y tells skrub that this is the column or table of targets that must be split into training and testing sets for cross-validation. Please refer to the examples gallery for more information.

Parameters:

valueobject

The value passed to skrub.var(), which is used for previews of the pipeline’s outputs, cross-validation etc. as described in the documentation for skrub.var() and the examples gallery.

Returns:

A skrub variable
