Describe the process of performing cross-validation as part of model fitting in a machine learning pipeline. Include details on how to implement this in a code snippet using Python and the scikit-learn library, and explain the benefits of integrating cross-validation into the pipeline.




Explanation:

Cross-validation in a machine learning pipeline involves splitting the data into multiple folds, training the model on different subsets of the data, and validating it on the remaining parts. This process is repeated for each fold, and the results are averaged to provide a more reliable estimate of model performance. This helps in tuning hyperparameters and selecting the best model without overfitting to the training data.
