COVER // HOW WOULD YOU APPROACH DESIGNING A CUSTOM SCIKIT-LEARN ESTIMATOR THAT INTEGRATES SEAMLESSLY WITH THE EXISTING API, ENSURING IT MEETS THE SCIKIT-LEARN CONVENTIONS FOR FIT, PREDICT, AND SCORE METHODS?

To design a custom estimator in Scikit-learn, I would start by inheriting from the BaseEstimator and ClassifierMixin or RegressorMixin classes. I would implement the fit, predict, and score methods, ensuring that the parameters are set correctly with the appropriate validation steps to be consistent with Scikit-learn conventions.
