# PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator An updatable temporal estimator that composes a preprocessing transformer and an updatable temporal estimator. ``` struct PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator where Preprocessor : TemporalTransformer, Estimator : UpdatableTemporalEstimator, Preprocessor.Output == Estimator.Transformer.Input ``` ## Topics ### Creating an estimator [`init(Preprocessor, Estimator)`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/init(_:_:)) Creates a composed temporal estimator from a preprocessing transformer and a temporal estimator. ### Getting the properties [`var estimator: Estimator`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/estimator) The estimator. [`var preprocessor: Preprocessor`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/preprocessor) The preprocessing transformer. ### Encoding and decoding [`func encodeWithOptimizer(PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer, to: inout any EstimatorEncoder) throws`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/encodeWithOptimizer(_:to:)) Encodes the transformer and optimizer to an encoder. [`func decodeWithOptimizer(from: inout any EstimatorDecoder) throws -> PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/decodeWithOptimizer(from:)) Reads the encoded transformer and optimizer with a decoder. ### Preprocesing and fitting [`func preprocessed(from: InputSequence, eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws -> [PreprocessedFeatureSequence]`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/preprocessed(from:eventHandler:)) Preprocesses a sequence of examples. [`func fitted(to: InputSequence, eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws -> PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/fitted(to:eventHandler:)) Fits a transformer to a sequence of examples. [`func fitted(toPreprocessed: [PreprocessedFeatureSequence], eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws -> PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/fitted(toPreprocessed:eventHandler:)) Fits a transformer to a sequence of preprocessed features. [`func update(inout PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer, withPreprocessed: InputSequence, eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/update(_:withPreprocessed:eventHandler:)) Updates a transformer with a new sequence of preprocessed features. [`func update(inout PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer, with: InputSequence, eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/update(_:with:eventHandler:)) Updates a transformer with a new sequence of examples. [`func makeTransformer() -> PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator.Transformer`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/makeTransformer()) Creates a default-initialized transformer suitable for incremental fitting. [`typealias Input`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/Input) The input type. [`typealias Intermediate`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/Intermediate) The intermediate type. [`typealias Output`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/PreprocessingUpdatableTemporalEstimator/Output) The output type. [`protocol Transformer`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/Transformer) A transformer that takes an input and produces an output. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`UpdatableTemporalEstimator`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/UpdatableTemporalEstimator) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) [`TemporalEstimator`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TemporalEstimator) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
