Pass a dict to scikit learn estimator
I got it. Used setattr like this.
for k,v in params.items():
setattr(lr,k,v)
The best solution to initialise your estimator with the right parameters would be to unpack your dictionary:
lr = LinearRegression(**params)
If for some reason you need to set some parameters afterwards, you could use:
lr.set_params(**params)
This has an advantage over using setattr
in that it allows Scikit learn to perform some validation checks on the parameters.
