    Description:
    ------------    
    This function initializes the environment in pycaret and creates the transformation
    pipeline to prepare the data for modeling and deployment. setup() must called before
    executing any other function in pycaret. It takes two mandatory parameters:
    dataframe {array-like, sparse matrix} and name of the target column. 
    
    All other parameters are optional.

        Example
        -------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')

        'boston' is a pandas DataFrame and 'medv' is the name of target column.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features) where n_samples 
    is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

    target: string
    Name of target column to be passed in as string. 
    
    train_size: float, default = 0.7
    Size of the training set. By default, 70% of the data will be used for training 
    and validation. The remaining data will be used for test / hold-out set.

    sampling: bool, default = True
    When the sample size exceeds 25,000 samples, pycaret will build a base estimator
    at various sample sizes from the original dataset. This will return a performance 
    plot of R2 values at various sample levels, that will assist in deciding the 
    preferred sample size for modeling.  The desired sample size must then be entered 
    for training and validation in the  pycaret environment. When sample_size entered 
    is less than 1, the remaining dataset (1 - sample) is used for fitting the model 
    only when finalize_model() is called.
    
    sample_estimator: object, default = None
    If None, Linear Regression is used by default.
    
    categorical_features: string, default = None
    If the inferred data types are not correct, categorical_features can be used to
    overwrite the inferred type. If when running setup the type of 'column1' is
    inferred as numeric instead of categorical, then this parameter can be used 
    to overwrite the type by passing categorical_features = ['column1'].
    
    categorical_imputation: string, default = 'constant'
    If missing values are found in categorical features, they will be imputed with
    a constant 'not_available' value. The other available option is 'mode' which 
    imputes the missing value using most frequent value in the training dataset. 
    
    ordinal_features: dictionary, default = None
    When the data contains ordinal features, they must be encoded differently using 
    the ordinal_features param. If the data has a categorical variable with values
    of 'low', 'medium', 'high' and it is known that low < medium < high, then it can 
    be passed as ordinal_features = { 'column_name' : ['low', 'medium', 'high'] }. 
    The list sequence must be in increasing order from lowest to highest.
    
    numeric_features: string, default = None
    If the inferred data types are not correct, numeric_features can be used to
    overwrite the inferred type. If when running setup the type of 'column1' is 
    inferred as a categorical instead of numeric, then this parameter can be used 
    to overwrite by passing numeric_features = ['column1'].    

    numeric_imputation: string, default = 'mean'
    If missing values are found in numeric features, they will be imputed with the 
    mean value of the feature. The other available option is 'median' which imputes 
    the value using the median value in the training dataset. 
    
    date_features: string, default = None
    If the data has a DateTime column that is not automatically detected when running
    setup, this parameter can be used by passing date_features = 'date_column_name'. 
    It can work with multiple date columns. Date columns are not used in modeling. 
    Instead, feature extraction is performed and date columns are dropped from the 
    dataset. If the date column includes a time stamp, features related to time will 
    also be extracted.
    
    ignore_features: string, default = None
    If any feature should be ignored for modeling, it can be passed to the param
    ignore_features. The ID and DateTime columns when inferred, are automatically 
    set to ignore for modeling. 
    
    normalize: bool, default = False
    When set to True, the feature space is transformed using the normalized_method
    param. Generally, linear algorithms perform better with normalized data however, 
    the results may vary and it is advised to run multiple experiments to evaluate
    the benefit of normalization.
    
    normalize_method: string, default = 'zscore'
    Defines the method to be used for normalization. By default, normalize method
    is set to 'zscore'. The standard zscore is calculated as z = (x - u) / s. The
    other available options are:
    
    'minmax'    : scales and translates each feature individually such that it is in 
                  the range of 0 - 1.
    
    'maxabs'    : scales and translates each feature individually such that the maximal 
                  absolute value of each feature will be 1.0. It does not shift/center 
                  the data, and thus does not destroy any sparsity.
    
    'robust'    : scales and translates each feature according to the Interquartile range.
                  When the dataset contains outliers, robust scaler often gives better
                  results.
    
    transformation: bool, default = False
    When set to True, a power transformation is applied to make the data more normal /
    Gaussian-like. This is useful for modeling issues related to heteroscedasticity or 
    other situations where normality is desired. The optimal parameter for stabilizing 
    variance and minimizing skewness is estimated through maximum likelihood.
    
    transformation_method: string, default = 'yeo-johnson'
    Defines the method for transformation. By default, the transformation method is set
    to 'yeo-johnson'. The other available option is 'quantile' transformation. Both 
    the transformation transforms the feature set to follow a Gaussian-like or normal
    distribution. Note that the quantile transformer is non-linear and may distort linear 
    correlations between variables measured at the same scale.
    
    handle_unknown_categorical: bool, default = True
    When set to True, unknown categorical levels in new / unseen data are replaced by
    the most or least frequent level as learned in the training data. The method is 
    defined under the unknown_categorical_method param.
    
    unknown_categorical_method: string, default = 'least_frequent'
    Method used to replace unknown categorical levels in unseen data. Method can be
    set to 'least_frequent' or 'most_frequent'.
    
    pca: bool, default = False
    When set to True, dimensionality reduction is applied to project the data into 
    a lower dimensional space using the method defined in pca_method param. In 
    supervised learning pca is generally performed when dealing with high feature
    space and memory is a constraint. Note that not all datasets can be decomposed
    efficiently using a linear PCA technique and that applying PCA may result in loss 
    of information. As such, it is advised to run multiple experiments with different 
    pca_methods to evaluate the impact. 

    pca_method: string, default = 'linear'
    The 'linear' method performs Linear dimensionality reduction using Singular Value 
    Decomposition. The other available options are:
    
    kernel      : dimensionality reduction through the use of RVF kernel.  
    
    incremental : replacement for 'linear' pca when the dataset to be decomposed is 
                  too large to fit in memory
    
    pca_components: int/float, default = 0.99
    Number of components to keep. if pca_components is a float, it is treated as a 
    target percentage for information retention. When pca_components is an integer
    it is treated as the number of features to be kept. pca_components must be strictly
    less than the original number of features in the dataset.
    
    ignore_low_variance: bool, default = False
    When set to True, all categorical features with statistically insignificant variances 
    are removed from the dataset. The variance is calculated using the ratio of unique 
    values to the number of samples, and the ratio of the most common value to the 
    frequency of the second most common value.
    
    combine_rare_levels: bool, default = False
    When set to True, all levels in categorical features below the threshold defined 
    in rare_level_threshold param are combined together as a single level. There must be 
    atleast two levels under the threshold for this to take effect. rare_level_threshold
    represents the percentile distribution of level frequency. Generally, this technique 
    is applied to limit a sparse matrix caused by high numbers of levels in categorical 
    features. 
    
    rare_level_threshold: float, default = 0.1
    Percentile distribution below which rare categories are combined. Only comes into
    effect when combine_rare_levels is set to True.
    
    bin_numeric_features: list, default = None
    When a list of numeric features is passed they are transformed into categorical
    features using KMeans, where values in each bin have the same nearest center of a 
    1D k-means cluster. The number of clusters are determined based on the 'sturges' 
    method. It is only optimal for gaussian data and underestimates the number of bins 
    for large non-gaussian datasets.
    
    remove_outliers: bool, default = False
    When set to True, outliers from the training data are removed using PCA linear
    dimensionality reduction using the Singular Value Decomposition technique.
    
    outliers_threshold: float, default = 0.05
    The percentage / proportion of outliers in the dataset can be defined using
    the outliers_threshold param. By default, 0.05 is used which means 0.025 of the 
    values on each side of the distribution's tail are dropped from training data.
    
    remove_multicollinearity: bool, default = False
    When set to True, the variables with inter-correlations higher than the threshold
    defined under the multicollinearity_threshold param are dropped. When two features
    are highly correlated with each other, the feature that is less correlated with 
    the target variable is dropped. 
    
    multicollinearity_threshold: float, default = 0.9
    Threshold used for dropping the correlated features. Only comes into effect when 
    remove_multicollinearity is set to True.
    
    create_clusters: bool, default = False
    When set to True, an additional feature is created where each instance is assigned
    to a cluster. The number of clusters is determined using a combination of 
    Calinski-Harabasz and Silhouette criterion. 
    
    cluster_iter: int, default = 20
    Number of iterations used to create a cluster. Each iteration represents cluster 
    size. Only comes into effect when create_clusters param is set to True.
    
    polynomial_features: bool, default = False
    When set to True, new features are created based on all polynomial combinations 
    that exist within the numeric features in a dataset to the degree defined in 
    polynomial_degree param. 
    
    polynomial_degree: int, default = 2
    Degree of polynomial features. For example, if an input sample is two dimensional 
    and of the form [a, b], the polynomial features with degree = 2 are: 
    [1, a, b, a^2, ab, b^2].
    
    trigonometry_features: bool, default = False
    When set to True, new features are created based on all trigonometric combinations 
    that exist within the numeric features in a dataset to the degree defined in the
    polynomial_degree param.
    
    polynomial_threshold: float, default = 0.1
    This is used to compress a sparse matrix of polynomial and trigonometric features.
    Polynomial and trigonometric features whose feature importance based on the 
    combination of Random Forest, AdaBoost and Linear correlation falls within the 
    percentile of the defined threshold are kept in the dataset. Remaining features 
    are dropped before further processing.
    
    group_features: list or list of list, default = None
    When a dataset contains features that have related characteristics, the group_features
    param can be used for statistical feature extraction. For example, if a dataset has 
    numeric features that are related with each other (i.e 'Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'), a list 
    containing the column names can be passed under group_features to extract statistical 
    information such as the mean, median, mode and standard deviation.
    
    group_names: list, default = None
    When group_features is passed, a name of the group can be passed into the group_names 
    param as a list containing strings. The length of a group_names list must equal to the 
    length  of group_features. When the length doesn't match or the name is not passed, new 
    features are sequentially named such as group_1, group_2 etc.
    
    feature_selection: bool, default = False
    When set to True, a subset of features are selected using a combination of various
    permutation importance techniques including Random Forest, Adaboost and Linear 
    correlation with target variable. The size of the subset is dependent on the 
    feature_selection_param. Generally, this is used to constrain the feature space 
    in order to improve efficiency in modeling. When polynomial_features and 
    feature_interaction  are used, it is highly recommended to define the 
    feature_selection_threshold param with a lower value.

    feature_selection_threshold: float, default = 0.8
    Threshold used for feature selection (including newly created polynomial features).
    A higher value will result in a higher feature space. It is recommended to do multiple
    trials with different values of feature_selection_threshold specially in cases where 
    polynomial_features and feature_interaction are used. Setting a very low value may be 
    efficient but could result in under-fitting.
    
    feature_interaction: bool, default = False 
    When set to True, it will create new features by interacting (a * b) for all numeric 
    variables in the dataset including polynomial and trigonometric features (if created). 
    This feature is not scalable and may not work as expected on datasets with large 
    feature space.
    
    feature_ratio: bool, default = False
    When set to True, it will create new features by calculating the ratios (a / b) of all 
    numeric variables in the dataset. This feature is not scalable and may not work as 
    expected on datasets with large feature space.
    
    interaction_threshold: bool, default = 0.01
    Similar to polynomial_threshold, It is used to compress a sparse matrix of newly 
    created features through interaction. Features whose importance based on the 
    combination  of  Random Forest, AdaBoost and Linear correlation falls within the 
    percentile of the  defined threshold are kept in the dataset. Remaining features 
    are dropped before further processing.
    
    transform_target: bool, default = False
    When set to True, target variable is transformed using the method defined in
    transform_target_method param. Target transformation is applied separately from 
    feature transformations. 
    
    transform_target_method: string, default = 'box-cox'
    'Box-cox' and 'yeo-johnson' methods are supported. Box-Cox requires input data to 
    be strictly positive, while Yeo-Johnson supports both positive or negative data.
    When transform_target_method is 'box-cox' and target variable contains negative
    values, method is internally forced to 'yeo-johnson' to avoid exceptions.
    
    session_id: int, default = None
    If None, a random seed is generated and returned in the Information grid. The 
    unique number is then distributed as a seed in all functions used during the 
    experiment. This can be used for later reproducibility of the entire experiment.
    
    silent: bool, default = False
    When set to True, confirmation of data types is not required. All preprocessing will 
    be performed assuming automatically inferred data types. Not recommended for direct use 
    except for established pipelines.
    
    profile: bool, default = False
    If set to true, a data profile for Exploratory Data Analysis will be displayed 
    in an interactive HTML report. 
    
    Returns:
    --------

    info grid:    Information grid is printed.
    -----------      

    environment:  This function returns various outputs that are stored in variable

    Description:
    ------------
    This function creates a model and scores it using Kfold Cross Validation. 
    (default = 10 Fold). The output prints a score grid that shows MAE, MSE, 
    RMSE, RMSLE, R2 and MAPE.

    This function returns a trained model object. 

    setup() function must be called before using create_model()

        Example
        -------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        
        lr = create_model('lr')

        This will create a trained Linear Regression model.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : string, default = None

    Enter abbreviated string of the estimator class. List of estimators supported:

    Description:
    ------------
    This function ensembles the trained base estimator using the method defined 
    in 'method' param (default = 'Bagging'). The output prints a score grid that 
    shows MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE by fold (default CV = 10 Folds).

    This function returns a trained model object.  

    Model must be created using create_model() or tune_model().

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        dt = create_model('dt')
        
        ensembled_dt = ensemble_model(dt)

        This will return an ensembled Decision Tree model using 'Bagging'.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : object, default = None

    method: String, default = 'Bagging'
    Bagging method will create an ensemble meta-estimator that fits base 
    regressor each on random subsets of the original dataset. The other
    available method is 'Boosting' that fits a regressor on the original 
    dataset and then fits additional copies of the regressor on the same 
    dataset but where the weights of instances are adjusted according to 
    the error of the current prediction. As such, subsequent regressors 
    focus more on difficult cases.
    
    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2.
    
    n_estimators: integer, default = 10
    The number of base estimators in the ensemble.
    In case of perfect fit, the learning procedure is stopped early.

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to.

    verbose: Boolean, default = True
    Score grid is not printed when verbose is set to False.


    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE.
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds are 
                  also returned.

    model:        trained ensembled model object
    -----------

    Description:
    ------------
    This function uses all models in the model library and scores them using  
    Kfold Cross Validation. The output prints a score grid that shows MAE, MSE, 
    RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE by fold (default CV = 10 Folds) of all the available
    models in model library.
    
    When turbo is set to True ('kr', 'ard' and 'mlp') are excluded due to longer
    training times. By default turbo param is set to True.

        compare_models() 

        This will return the averaged score grid of all models except 'kr', 'ard' 
        and 'mlp'. When turbo param is set to False, all models including 'kr',
        'ard' and 'mlp' are used, but this may result in longer training times.
        
        compare_models(blacklist = ['knn','gbr'], turbo = False) 

        This will return a comparison of all models except K Nearest Neighbour and
        Gradient Boosting Regressor.
        
        compare_models(blacklist = ['knn','gbr'] , turbo = True) 

        This will return a comparison of all models except K Nearest Neighbour, 
        Gradient Boosting Regressor, Kernel Ridge Regressor, Automatic Relevance
        Determinant and Multi Level Perceptron.
        
    Parameters
    ----------
    blacklist: string, default = None
    In order to omit certain models from the comparison, the abbreviation string 
    (see above list) can be passed as list in blacklist param. This is normally
    done to be more efficient with time. 

    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2. 

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to.
  
    sort: string, default = 'MAE'
    The scoring measure specified is used for sorting the average score grid
    Other options are 'MAE', 'MSE', 'RMSE', 'R2', 'RMSLE' and 'MAPE'.

    turbo: Boolean, default = True
    When turbo is set to True, it blacklists estimators that have longer
    training times.
    
    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds is
                  also returned.

    Warnings:
    ---------
    - compare_models() though attractive, might be time consuming with large 
      datasets. By default turbo is set to True, which blacklists models that
      have longer training times. Changing turbo parameter to False may result 
      in very high training times with datasets where number of samples exceed 
      10,000.

    Description:
    ------------
    This function creates an ensemble meta-estimator that fits a base regressor on 
    the whole dataset. It then averages the predictions to form a final prediction. 
    By default, this function will use all estimators in the model library (excl. 
    the few estimators when turbo is True) or a specific trained estimator passed 
    as a list in estimator_list param. It scores it using Kfold Cross Validation. 
    The output prints the score grid that shows MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE 
    by fold (default = 10 Fold). 

    This function returns a trained model object.  

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        
        blend_all = blend_models() 

        This will result in VotingRegressor for all models in the library except 'ard',
        'kr' and 'mlp'.
        
        For specific models, you can use:

        lr = create_model('lr')
        rf = create_model('rf')
        knn = create_model('knn')

        blend_three = blend_models(estimator_list = [lr,rf,knn])
    
        This will create a VotingRegressor of lr, rf and knn.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator_list : string ('All') or list of object, default = 'All'

    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2. 

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to.

    turbo: Boolean, default = True
    When turbo is set to True, it blacklists estimator that uses Radial Kernel.

    verbose: Boolean, default = True
    Score grid is not printed when verbose is set to False.

    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE. 
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds are 
                  also returned.

    model:        trained Voting Regressor model object. 
    -----------

    Warnings:

    Description:
    ------------
    This function tunes the hyperparameters of a model and scores it using Kfold 
    Cross Validation. The output prints the score grid that shows MAE, MSE, RMSE, 
    R2, RMSLE and MAPE by fold (by default = 10 Folds).

    This function returns a trained model object.  

    tune_model() only accepts a string parameter for estimator.

        Example
        -------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        
        tuned_xgboost = tune_model('xgboost') 

        This will tune the hyperparameters of Extreme Gradient Boosting Regressor.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : string, default = None

    Enter abbreviated name of the estimator class. List of estimators supported:

    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2. 

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to. 

    n_iter: integer, default = 10
    Number of iterations within the Random Grid Search. For every iteration, 
    the model randomly selects one value from the pre-defined grid of hyperparameters.

    optimize: string, default = 'r2'
    Measure used to select the best model through hyperparameter tuning.
    The default scoring measure is 'r2'. Other measures include 'mae', 'mse'.

    ensemble: Boolean, default = None
    True enables ensembling of the model through the method defined in 'method' param.

    method: String, 'Bagging' or 'Boosting', default = None
    method comes into effect only when ensemble = True. Default is set to None. 

    verbose: Boolean, default = True
    Score grid is not printed when verbose is set to False.

    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE.
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds are 
                  also returned.

    model:        trained model object
    -----------

    Warnings:
    ---------
    - estimator parameter takes an abbreviated string. Passing a trained model object
      returns an error. The tune_model() function internally calls create_model() 
      before tuning the hyperparameters.

    Description:
    ------------
    This function creates a meta model and scores it using Kfold Cross Validation.
    The predictions from the base level models as passed in the estimator_list param 
    are used as input features for the meta model. The restacking parameter controls
    the ability to expose raw features to the meta model when set to True
    (default = False).

    The output prints a score grid that shows MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE by 
    fold (default = 10 Folds).
    
    This function returns a container which is the list of all models in stacking. 

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        dt = create_model('dt')
        rf = create_model('rf')
        ada = create_model('ada')
        ridge = create_model('ridge')
        knn = create_model('knn')

        stacked_models = stack_models(estimator_list=[dt,rf,ada,ridge,knn])

        This will create a meta model that will use the predictions of all the 
        models provided in estimator_list param. By default, the meta model is 
        Linear Regression but can be changed with meta_model param.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator_list : list of object

    meta_model : object, default = None
    if set to None, Linear Regression is used as a meta model.

    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2. 

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to.

    restack: Boolean, default = False
    When restack is set to True, raw data will be exposed to meta model when
    making predictions, otherwise when False, only the predicted label is passed 
    to meta model when making final predictions.

    plot: Boolean, default = False
    When plot is set to True, it will return the correlation plot of prediction
    from all base models provided in estimator_list.
    
    finalize: Boolean, default = False
    When finalize is set to True, it will fit the stacker on entire dataset
    including the hold-out sample created during the setup() stage. It is not 
    recommended to set this to True here, If you would like to fit the stacker 
    on the entire dataset including the hold-out, use finalize_model().
    
    verbose: Boolean, default = True
    Score grid is not printed when verbose is set to False.

    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE.
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds are 
                  also returned.

    container:    list of all the models where last element is meta model.

    Description:
    ------------
    This function creates a sequential stack net using cross validated predictions 
    at each layer. The final score grid contains predictions from the meta model 
    using Kfold Cross Validation. Base level models can be passed as estimator_list
    param, the layers can be organized as a sub list within the estimator_list object.  
    Restacking param controls the ability to expose raw features to meta model.

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        dt = create_model('dt')
        rf = create_model('rf')
        ada = create_model('ada')
        ridge = create_model('ridge')
        knn = create_model('knn')

        stacknet = create_stacknet(estimator_list =[[dt,rf],[ada,ridge,knn]])

        This will result in the stacking of models in multiple layers. The first layer 
        contains dt and rf, the predictions of which are used by models in the second 
        layer to generate predictions which are then used by the meta model to generate
        final predictions. By default, the meta model is Linear Regression but can be 
        changed with meta_model param.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator_list : nested list of objects

    meta_model : object, default = None
    if set to None, Linear Regression is used as a meta model.

    fold: integer, default = 10
    Number of folds to be used in Kfold CV. Must be at least 2. 

    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the metrics in the score grid will be rounded to.
  
    restack: Boolean, default = False
    When restack is set to True, raw data and prediction of all layers will be 
    exposed to the meta model when making predictions. When set to False, only 
    the predicted label of last layer is passed to meta model when making final 
    predictions.
    
    finalize: Boolean, default = False
    When finalize is set to True, it will fit the stacker on entire dataset
    including the hold-out sample created during the setup() stage. It is not 
    recommended to set this to True here, if you would like to fit the stacker 
    on the entire dataset including the hold-out, use finalize_model().
    
    verbose: Boolean, default = True
    Score grid is not printed when verbose is set to False.

    Returns:
    --------

    score grid:   A table containing the scores of the model across the kfolds. 
    -----------   Scoring metrics used are MAE, MSE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE and MAPE.
                  Mean and standard deviation of the scores across the folds are 
                  also returned.

    container:    list of all models where the last element is the meta model.

    Description:
    ------------
    This function takes a trained model object and returns a plot based on the
    test / hold-out set. The process may require the model to be re-trained in
    certain cases. See list of plots supported below. 
    
    Model must be created using create_model() or tune_model().

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        lr = create_model('lr')
        
        plot_model(lr)

        This will return an residuals plot of a trained Linear Regression model.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : object, default = none
    A trained model object should be passed as an estimator. 
   
    plot : string, default = residual
    Enter abbreviation of type of plot. The current list of plots supported are:

    Description:
    ------------
    This function takes a trained model object and returns an interpretation plot 
    based on the test / hold-out set. It only supports tree based algorithms. 

    This function is implemented based on the SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations),
    which is a unified approach to explain the output of any machine learning model. 
    SHAP connects game theory with local explanations.

    For more information : https://shap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        dt = create_model('dt')
        
        interpret_model(dt)

        This will return a summary interpretation plot of Decision Tree model.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : object, default = none
    A trained tree based model object should be passed as an estimator. 

    plot : string, default = 'summary'
    other available options are 'correlation' and 'reason'.

    feature: string, default = None
    This parameter is only needed when plot = 'correlation'. By default feature is 
    set to None which means the first column of the dataset will be used as a variable. 
    A feature parameter must be passed to change this.

    observation: integer, default = None
    This parameter only comes into effect when plot is set to 'reason'. If no observation
    number is provided, it will return an analysis of all observations with the option
    to select the feature on x and y axes through drop down interactivity. For analysis at
    the sample level, an observation parameter must be passed with the index value of the
    observation in test / hold-out set. 

    Returns:
    --------

    Visual Plot:  Returns the visual plot.
    -----------   Returns the interactive JS plot when plot = 'reason'.

    Description:
    ------------
    This function is used to predict new data using a trained estimator. It accepts
    an estimator created using one of the function in pycaret that returns a trained 
    model object or a list of trained model objects created using stack_models() or 
    create_stacknet(). New unseen data can be passed to data param as pandas Dataframe. 
    If data is not passed, the test / hold-out set separated at the time of setup() is
    used to generate predictions. 
    
        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        lr = create_model('lr')
        
        lr_predictions_holdout = predict_model(lr)
        
    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : object or list of objects / string,  default = None
    When estimator is passed as string, load_model() is called internally to load the
    pickle file from active directory or cloud platform when platform param is passed.
    
    data : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features) where n_samples 
    is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features. All features 
    used during training must be present in the new dataset.
    
    platform: string, default = None
    Name of platform, if loading model from cloud. Current available options are:
    'aws'.
    
    authentication : dict
    dictionary of applicable authentication tokens. 
    
     When platform = 'aws': 
     {'bucket' : 'Name of Bucket on S3'}
     
    round: integer, default = 4
    Number of decimal places the predicted labels will be rounded to.
    
    Returns:
    --------

    info grid:    Information grid is printed when data is None.
    ----------      
    
    Warnings:
    ---------
    - if the estimator passed is created using finalize_model() then the metrics 
      printed in the information grid maybe misleading as the model is trained on
      the complete dataset including the test / hold-out set. Once finalize_model() 
      is used, the model is considered ready for deployment and should be used on new 
      unseen datasets only.

    Description:
    ------------
    (In Preview)
    
    This function deploys the transformation pipeline and trained model object for
    production use. The platform of deployment can be defined under the platform
    param along with the applicable authentication tokens which are passed as a
    dictionary to the authentication param.
    
        Example:
        --------
        from pycaret.datasets import get_data
        boston = get_data('boston')
        experiment_name = setup(data = boston,  target = 'medv')
        lr = create_model('lr')
        
        deploy_model(model = lr, model_name = 'deploy_lr', platform = 'aws', 
                     authentication = {'bucket' : 'pycaret-test'})
        
        This will deploy the model on AWS S3 account under bucket 'pycaret-test'
        
        For AWS users:
        --------------
        Before deploying a model to an AWS S3 ('aws'), environment variables must be 
        configured using the command line interface. To configure AWS env. variables, 
        type aws configure in your python command line. The following information is
        required which can be generated using the Identity and Access Management (IAM) 
        portal of your amazon console account:
    
           - AWS Access Key ID
           - AWS Secret Key Access
           - Default Region Name (can be seen under Global settings on your AWS console)
           - Default output format (must be left blank)

    Parameters
    ----------
    model : object
    A trained model object should be passed as an estimator. 
    
    model_name : string
    Name of model to be passed as a string.
    
    authentication : dict
    dictionary of applicable authentication tokens. 
      
     When platform = 'aws': 
     {'bucket' : 'Name of Bucket on S3'}
    
    platform: string, default = 'aws'
    Name of platform for deployment. Current available options are: 'aws'.

    Returns:
    --------    
    Success Message
    
    Warnings:
    ---------
    - This function uses file storage services to deploy the model on cloud platform. 
      As such, this is efficient for batch-use. Where the production objective is to 
      obtain prediction at an instance level, this may not be the efficient choice as 
      it transmits the binary pickle file between your local python environment and
      the platform.
