piflib 0.1.1

A library for computing the personal information factor (PIF)

piflib - computing personal information factors (PIF)

Installation

This library requires Python3. To install, execute

pip install piflib

Usage

piflib expects the data as a Pandas DataFrame. Luckily, Pandas supports a wide range of input formats.

In this example, we have data in csv format.

import pandas as pd
import piflib

dataframe = pd.read_csv('datafile.csv')
cigs = piflib.compute_cigs(dataframe)
csfs = piflib.compute_csfs(dataframe)

The compute_cigs and compute_csfs functions return a Pandas DataFrame, containing the CIG and CSF values respectively. The CIG and CSF values appear in the same position as in the input data.

You can run and experiment with the tutorials online here:

Limitations

Piflib currently only supports discrete feature distributions.
