dragon-ml-toolbox 19.7.0

Complete pipelines and helper tools for data science and machine learning projects.

dragon-ml-toolbox

A collection of machine learning pipelines and utilities, structured as modular packages for easy reuse and installation. This package has no base dependencies, allowing for lightweight and customized virtual environments.

Features:

• Modular scripts for data science workflows, including data exploration, ETL, model training, evaluation, and inference.
• Support for PyTorch-based models, ensemble learning (XGBoost, LightGBM), and MICE imputation.

Installation

Python 3.12

Via PyPI

Install the latest stable release from PyPI:

Using pip:

pip install dragon-ml-toolbox

Using UV:

uv add dragon-ml-toolbox

Via conda-forge

Install from the conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge dragon-ml-toolbox

Modular Installation

This toolbox is designed as a collection of mutually exclusive environments due to conflicting core dependencies, except APP bundlers (PyInstaller/Nuitka).

• Rule: Create a fresh virtual environment for each module to use.
