# skfolio.prior.BaseLoadingMatrix ### *class* skfolio.prior.BaseLoadingMatrix Base class for all Loading Matrix estimators. ### Methods | [`get_metadata_routing`](#skfolio.prior.BaseLoadingMatrix.get_metadata_routing)() | Get metadata routing of this object. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | [`get_params`](#skfolio.prior.BaseLoadingMatrix.get_params)([deep]) | Get parameters for this estimator. | | [`set_params`](#skfolio.prior.BaseLoadingMatrix.set_params)(\*\*params) | Set the parameters of this estimator. | | **fit** | | |-----------|----| ### Notes All estimators should specify all the parameters that can be set at the class level in their `__init__` as explicit keyword arguments (no `*args` or `**kwargs`). #### get_metadata_routing() Get metadata routing of this object. Please check [User Guide](https://skfolio.org/user_guide/metadata_routing.html.md#metadata-routing) on how the routing mechanism works. * **Returns:** **routing** *MetadataRequest* : A `MetadataRequest` encapsulating routing information. #### get_params(deep=True) Get parameters for this estimator. * **Parameters:** **deep** *bool, default=True* : If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators. * **Returns:** **params** *dict* : Parameter names mapped to their values. #### set_params(\*\*params) Set the parameters of this estimator. The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as `Pipeline`). The latter have parameters of the form `__` so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object. * **Parameters:** **\*\*params** *dict* : Estimator parameters. * **Returns:** **self** *estimator instance* : Estimator instance.
