Enhancement Proposals

Description

A skbase enhancement proposal (BEP) is a software design document providing information to the skbase community. The proposal should provide a rationale and concise technical specification of the proposed design.

We intend BEPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing major changes, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into skbase.

Smaller changes will be discussed and implemented directly on issues and pull requests.

Submitting a BEP

To create a new BEP, please copy and use sktime’s template (update any references to sktime when drafting your BEP) and open a pull request on the skbase repository.

It is highly recommended that a single BEP contains a single key proposal or new idea. The more focused the proposal, the more successful it tends to be. If in doubt, split your BEP into several well-focused ones.

A BEP should be a consolidated document, including:

• a concise problem statement,

• a clear description of the proposed solution,

• a comparison with alternative solutions.
