ic-index 0.1.3

Standalone Python module providing an implementation of interaction concordance index.

IC-index

An implementation of interaction concordance index as presented in [1].

Installation:

Run
pip install ic_index
to install from PyPI, or
pip install git+https://github.com/TurkuML/Interaction-Concordance-Index
to install directly from github.

Example code for testing in Python interpreter

import numpy as np
import ic_index

# Generate random labels
example_Y = np.random.rand(35)
# Generate row indices of the pairs
example_rows = np.repeat(range(5), 7)
# Generate column indices of the pairs
example_cols = np.array(list(range(7))*5)

# Calculate IC-index with random predictions, result in [0, 1]:
print(ic_index.ic_index(example_rows, example_cols, example_Y, np.random.rand(35)))

# Calculate IC-index with correct labels, result 1:
print(ic_index.ic_index(example_rows, example_cols, example_Y, example_Y))

# Calculate IC-index with reversed labels, result 0:
print(ic_index.ic_index(example_rows, example_cols, example_Y, -example_Y))

# Calculate IC-index with constant labels, result 0.5:
print(ic_index.ic_index(example_rows, example_cols, example_Y, np.ones((35))))
