insilicova 0.1.1

Python implementation of the InSilicoVA Algorithm.

insilicova (Python version)

Python implementation of the InSilicoVA algorithm for assigning causes of death to verbal autopsy (VA) data collected with the 2016 WHO VA instrument. This package is an attempt to replicate the R version InSilicoVA, but the R version offers more features and functionality via the openva R package.

Example run:

from insilicova.api import InSilicoVA
from insilicova.utils import get_vadata

va_data = get_vadata("randomva5")

out = InSilicoVA(data=va_data)
print(out)
results = out.get_results()
results.get_summary() # prints CSMF
results.get_csmf()    # returns CSMF

Build Dependencies

The insilicova package depends on the C++ library boost (v1.82.0), and the Python package pyind11 (pybind11 docs) is used to help build insilicova.

• On Windows it is assumed that boost is installed at: C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_82_0 (as specified in setup.py)

• Build the package with python -m build
