Create BaseSynthesizer class

[amontanez24]

Problem Description

As a user, it would be helpful if the naming of everything in SDV was consistent and clear.

We want to rename all of the current models to synthesizers. This is the first issue in that process.

Expected behavior

• Create a single_table module in sdv
• In this module create a BaseSynthesizer class
• Add an __init__ to this class that sets all of the required attributes for all synthesizers. These include:
  • metadata (SingleTableMetadata)
  • enforce_min_max_values (bool)
  • enforce_rounding (bool)
• Add a get_metadata() method
  • This returns the SingleTableMetadata object
• Add a get_parameters method
  • This returns a dictionary of the parameters in the synthesizer minus the metadata. eg.

model.get_parameters()
{
  'enforce_min_max_values': True,
  'enforce_rounding': False,
  'numerical_column_distributions': {
    'age': 'beta',
    'height': 'gaussian'
  }
}

Additional context

• We may want to create the DataProcessor in the init as well, although that will be a private attribute
