:rocket: Installation

Using pip

The library can be installed from PyPI using

$ pip install autoprognosis

or from source, using

$ pip install .

Redis (Optional, but recommended)

AutoPrognosis can use Redis as a backend to improve the performance and quality of the searches.

For that, install the redis-server package following the steps described on the official site.

Environment variables

The library can be configured from a set of environment variables.

Variable Description
N_OPT_JOBS Number of cores to use for hyperparameter search. Default : 1
N_LEARNER_JOBS Number of cores to use by inidividual learners. Default: all cpus
REDIS_HOST IP address for the Redis database. Default 127.0.0.1
REDIS_PORT Redis port. Default: 6379

Example: export N_OPT_JOBS = 2 to use 2 cores for hyperparam search.

:boom: Sample Usage

Advanced Python tutorials can be found in the Python tutorials section.

R examples can be found in the R tutorials section.
