Expose warm_start in Isolation forest
It seems to me that `sklearn.ensemble.IsolationForest` supports incremental addition of new trees with the `warm_start` parameter of its parent class, `sklearn.ensemble.BaseBagging`.
Even though this parameter is not exposed in `__init__()` , it gets inherited from `BaseBagging` and one can use it by changing it to `True` after initialization. To make it work, you have to also increment `n_estimators` on every iteration.
It took me a while to notice that it actually works, and I had to inspect the source code of both `IsolationForest` and `BaseBagging`. Also, it looks to me that the behavior is in-line with `sklearn.ensemble.BaseForest` that is behind e.g. `sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier`.
To make it more easier to use, I'd suggest to:
* expose `warm_start` in `IsolationForest.__init__()`, default `False`;
* document it in the same way as it is documented for `RandomForestClassifier`, i.e. say:
```py
warm_start : bool, optional (default=False)
When set to ``True``, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit
and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole
new forest. See :term:`the Glossary <warm_start>`.
```
* add a test to make sure it works properly;
* possibly also mention in the "IsolationForest example" documentation entry;
Work only inside this repository checkout. Make the code change the task
describes, keeping the diff focused — no drive-by refactors.
When you are done, leave your changes committed or in the working tree;
they are collected automatically.
Stay on this snapshot checkout (`task/ycb_scikit-learn_pr13496`). Never checkout, pull, or rebase onto `main`. That branch is a README-only orphan.
Stay on this HEAD. Do not fetch another default branch. Push only on the Cursor-created `crazy-cursor/…` side branch from this HEAD.Some past runs of this task were launched with a different prompt (the prompt template changed since, or those runs predate this benchmark's stored prompt). Each run persists the exact prompt it sent at launch — that per-launch record is the audit trail; this page shows only the current one.
