s. The possibilities are: - True: Force all values of X to be finite. - False: accepts np.inf, np.nan, pd.NA in X. - 'allow-nan': accepts only np.nan or pd.NA values in X. Values cannot be infinite. .. versionadded:: 1.6 `force_all_finite` was renamed to `ensure_all_finite`. ensure_2d : bool, default=True Whether to raise a value error if X is not 2D. allow_nd : bool, default=False Whether to allow X.ndim > 2. multi_output : bool, default=False Whether to allow 2D y (array or sparse matrix). If false, y will be validated as a vector. y cannot have np.nan or np.inf values if multi_output=True. ensure_min_samples : int, default=1 Make sure that X has a minimum number of samples in its first axis (rows for a 2D array). ensure_min_features : int, default=1 Make sure that the 2D array has some minimum number of features (columns). The default value of 1 rejects empty datasets. This check is only enforced when X has effectively 2 dimensions or is originally 1D and ``ensure_2d`` is True. Setting to 0 disables this check. y_numeric : bool, default=False Whether to ensure that y has a numeric type. If dtype of y is object, it is converted to float64. Should only be used for regression algorithms. estimator : str or estimator instance, default=None If passed, include the name of the estimator in warning messages. Returns ------- X_converted : object The converted and validated X. y_converted : object The converted and validated y. Examples -------- >>> from sklearn.utils.validation import check_X_y >>> X = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]] >>> y = [1, 2, 3] >>> X, y = check_X_y(X, y) >>> X array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]) >>> y array([1, 2, 3]) ré
