Description
Sometimes it's needed to appended or merge the output of a primitive with its own input, or with some other variable.
Two possibilities exist for this:
- Add a way to indicate that the output needs to be appended to the input. This way, for example, a primitive can add columns to X instead of replacing it.
- Add a native primitive that allows the concatenation of multiple variables:
X = pd.concat([X1, X2], axis=1)
