Concatenates results of multiple transformer objects.
This estimator applies a list of transformer objects in parallel to the input data, then concatenates the results. This is useful to combine several feature extraction mechanisms into a single transformer.
Parameters of the transformers may be set using its name and the parameter name separated by a '__'. A transformer may be replaced entirely by setting the parameter with its name to another transformer, or removed by setting to 'drop'.

.. versionadded:: 0.13
Parameters ---------- transformer_list : list of (string, transformer) tuples List of transformer objects to be applied to the data. The first half of each tuple is the name of the transformer.
.. versionchanged:: 0.22 Deprecated `None` as a transformer in favor of 'drop'.
n_jobs : int or None, optional (default=None) Number of jobs to run in parallel. ``None`` means 1 unless in a :obj:`joblib.parallel_backend` context. ``-1`` means using all processors. See :term:`Glossary <n_jobs>` for more details.
transformer_weights : dict, optional Multiplicative weights for features per transformer. Keys are transformer names, values the weights.
verbose : boolean, optional(default=False) If True, the time elapsed while fitting each transformer will be printed as it is completed.
