PyPI

Installation (for Python and R)

Python

1st method

pip install mlsauce --verbose

2nd method: from Github, for the development version

pip install git+https://github.com/Techtonique/mlsauce.git --verbose

3r method: using conda

conda install -c conda-forge mlsauce

(Note to self or developers: https://github.com/conda-forge/mlsauce-feedstock and https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/adding_pkgs.html#step-by-step-instructions)

R

From GitHub

remotes::install_github("Techtonique/mlsauce_r") # the repo is in this organization

From R-universe

install.packages('mlsauce', repos = c('https://techtonique.r-universe.dev',
'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

General rule for using the package in R: object accesses with .'s are replaced by $'s. R Examples can be found in the package, once installed, by typing (in R console):

?mlsauce::AdaOpt

For a list of available models, visit https://techtonique.github.io/mlsauce/.

Docker

make docker-build ## Build Docker image for mlsauce
make docker-run-examples  # test thoroughly
make docker-pypi-release  # Run an interactive shell inside the mlsauce Docker container

Package description

Miscellaneous Statistical/Machine learning stuff. See next section.

Quick start

Examples can be found here on GitHub. You can also read about this package here, and in particular for LSBoost: https://thierrymoudiki.github.io/blog/#LSBoost.

Contributing

Your contributions are welcome, and valuable. Please, make sure to read the Code of Conduct first. If you're not comfortable with Git/Version Control yet, please use this form to provide a feedback.

In Pull Requests, let's strive to use black for formatting files:

pip install black
black --line-length=80 file_submitted_for_pr.py

A few things that we could explore are:

Enrich the tests
Continue to make mlsauce available to R users --> here
Any benchmarking of mlsauce models can be stored in demo (notebooks) or examples (flat files), with the following naming convention: yourgithubname_ddmmyy_shortdescriptionofdemo.[py|ipynb|R|Rmd]

Tests

Ultimately, tests for mlsauce's features will be located here. In order to run them and obtain tests' coverage (using nose2), you'll do:

Install packages required for testing:

pip install nose2
pip install coverage

Run tests and print coverage:

git clone https://github.com/thierrymoudiki/mlsauce.git
cd mlsauce
nose2 --with-coverage

Obtain coverage reports:

At the command line:

coverage report -m

or an html report:

coverage html
