  1. abstract def copy(extra: ParamMap): E

    Check transform validity and derive the output schema from the input schema.

    We check validity for interactions between parameters during transformSchema and raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate().

    Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.
