preprocessing API, default `None`
An instance of a transformer (preprocessor) compatible with the scikit-learn

interval : list, default `[5, 95]`

For example, interval of 95% should be as `interval = [2.5, 97.5]`.

"""
Set new values to the attribute `out_sample_residuals`. Out of sample
residuals are meant to be calculated using observations that did not
participate in the training process.
Parameters
----------
residuals : pd.Series
Values of residuals. If len(residuals) > 1000, only a random sample
of 1000 values are stored.
append : bool, default `True`
If `True`, new residuals are added to the once already stored in the
attribute `out_sample_residuals`. Once the limit of 1000 values is
reached, no more values are appended. If False, `out_sample_residuals`
is overwritten with the new residuals.
transform : bool, default `True`
If `True`, new residuals are transformed using self.transformer_y.
Returns
-------
