+    Sequentially apply a list of transforms, sampling, and a final estimator.
     Intermediate steps of the pipeline must be transformers or resamplers,
     that is, they must implement fit, transform and sample methods.
+    The samplers are only applied during fit.
     The final estimator only needs to implement fit.
     The transformers and samplers in the pipeline can be cached using
     ``memory`` argument.
