scikit-learn has one of the most carefully designed APIs in all of Python. Once you understand its three object types — estimators, transformers, and pipelines — every model you ever use will feel familiar. This lesson builds that mental model from scratch.
🧠 Section A · Concept Check ● BEGINNER 4 × 1 = 4
1Models learn with the method:
2Predictions come from:
3Scalers/encoders implement:
4A Pipeline chains:
🧮 Section B · Problem Solving ● INTERMEDIATE 2 + 3×3 = 11
5Everything in sklearn shares the / predict pattern.
6fit_transform = fit then in one call.
7Sketch: scaler + logistic regression pipeline.
8Why call fit only on training data?
9Estimator vs transformer in one line?
🚀 Section C · Challenge ● CHALLENGE 5
10What does pipe.fit(X,y) run internally?
