     40     Args:
     41       x: Matrix of shape [n_samples, n_features...] or the dictionary of
     42         Matrices.
     43          Can be iterator that returns arrays of features or dictionary of arrays
     44            of features.
     45          The training input samples for fitting the model. If set, `input_fn`
     46            must be `None`.
     47       y: Vector or matrix [n_samples] or [n_samples, n_outputs] or the
     48         dictionary of same.
     49          Can be iterator that returns array of labels or dictionary of array of
     50            labels.
     51          The training label values (class labels in classification, real numbers
     52            in regression).
     53          If set, `input_fn` must be `None`. Note: For classification, label
     54            values must
     55          be integers representing the class index (i.e. values from 0 to
     56          n_classes-1).
     57       input_fn: Input function returning a tuple of:
     58           features - `Tensor` or dictionary of string feature name to `Tensor`.
     59           labels - `Tensor` or dictionary of `Tensor` with labels.
     60         If input_fn is set, `x`, `y`, and `batch_size` must be `None`.
     61       steps: Number of steps for which to train model. If `None`, train forever.
     62         'steps' works incrementally. If you call two times fit(steps=10) then
     63         training occurs in total 20 steps. If you don't want to have incremental
     64         behavior please set `max_steps` instead. If set, `max_steps` must be
     65         `None`.
     66       batch_size: minibatch size to use on the input, defaults to first
     67         dimension of `x`. Must be `None` if `input_fn` is provided.
     68       monitors: List of `BaseMonitor` subclass instances. Used for callbacks
     69         inside the training loop.
     70       max_steps: Number of total steps for which to train model. If `None`,
     71         train forever. If set, `steps` must be `None`.
     72 
     73         Two calls to `fit(steps=100)` means 200 training
     74         iterations. On the other hand, two calls to `fit(max_steps=100)` means
     75         that the second call will not do any iteration since first call did
     76         all 100 steps.
     77 
     78     Returns:
     79       `self`, for chaining.
