BaseTransformer
checks and conversion boilerplate:convert_to
calls by more specificconvert
calls that ensure we do not repeat mtype checksconvert
andconvert_to
, moving logic that determines the target mtype into a separate function, and allowingconvert
to havelist

convert_to_scitype
to return the mtype of the converted-to output. This is passed as an input toconvert
in theBaseTransformer
boilerplate to avoid checks to obtain this information.
