Drift Detector

#### \_\_init_\_()[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/drift/base_detector.py#L19)

#### *abstract* add_element(element: [float](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#float)) → [None](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/drift/base_detector.py#L43)

Update the drift detector with a new input value.

* **Parameters:**
  **element** – A value to update the drift detector with. Usually,
  this is the prediction error of a model.

#### detected_change() → [bool](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/drift/base_detector.py#L52)

Is the detector currently detecting a concept drift?

#### detected_warning() → [bool](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/drift/base_detector.py#L56)

Is the detector currently warning of an upcoming concept drift?

#### *classmethod* from_params(schema: [Any](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Any) = None, params: [dict](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#dict)[[str](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#str), [Any](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Any)] | [None](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None) = None, random_seed: [int](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#int) = 1) → [Any](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Any)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/base/_learner_params.py#L170)

Construct an instance from parameters produced by `get_params`.

#### get_params() → [dict](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#dict)[[str](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#str), [Any](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Any)][[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/base/_learner_params.py#L163)

Return the hyper-parameters captured from the constructor.

#### reset(clean_history: [bool](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool) = False) → [None](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None)[[source]](https://github.com/adaptive-machine-learning/CapyMOA/blob/3e255b1/src/capymoa/drift/base_detector.py#L29)

Reset the drift detector.

* **Parameters:**
  **clean_history** – Whether to reset detection history, defaults to False

#### REQUIRES_FIT *: [bool](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool)* *= False*

If `True`, this detector needs a reference distribution before
it can detect change. Concept drift detectors leave this as
`False` and only use [`add_element()`](#capymoa.drift.base_detector.BaseDriftDetector.add_element).
