It will assume that you have passed in operators that can handle the type of data that was passed in. For instance, if you pass in a pandas dataframe with categorical features and missing data, then you should also include in your configuration operators that can handle those feautures of the data. Alternatively, if you pass in `preprocessing = True`, TPOT will impute missing values, one hot encode categorical features, then standardize the data.

Later there will be an option to apply per fold, and have the parameters be learnable.) +TPOT will not check if your data is correctly formatted.

Setting `verbose` to 5 can be helpful during debugging as it will print out the error generated by failing pipelines.
