Pipelining: chaining a PCA and a logistic regression

The PCA does an unsupervised dimensionality reduction, while the logistic regression does the prediction.

We use a GridSearchCV to set the dimensionality of the PCA

Prediction

#Parameters of pipelines can be set using ‘__’ separated parameter names:
