[ENH] Class contraction

[fkiraly]

Not an immediate next step, but it would be great to have the feature of "contraction".

This is a function which takes a composite class and turns it into a non-composite class.
Parameters from the components are all mapped onto parameters of the result.

Example:
if input has get_params().keys() output ["component1", "component1_foo", "component2", "component2_bar", "foobar"], after contraction this should become ["foo", "bar", "foobar"], without any functional difference to the objects in question. In the "contracted" class, the components are hard-coded (whereas in the composite they may not have been).

Hi there,
This is Avinash Kumar Dubey, I'm new on GitHub and want to contribute to OpenSource to make my Account robust.

I can add this contraction feature but I've some questions like where I should do the code for this and how this feature will work. for example,

list = ["component1", "component1_foo", "component2", "component2_bar", "foobar"]

method 1:
contraction(list)

method 2:
list.contraction()

Hello @ramcharanmedipally!

Apologies, I did not see your post earlier since this repo is currently still in early design stage, and we didn't monitor this repo for new contributor posts.

This is not about list contraction but class contraction - apologies.

How about you look for interesting good first issues on sktime?

Sorry again for not responding.
