A template for scikit-learn compatible packages.

pyFOCI - Feature Ordering by Conditional Independence

pyFOCI provides the feature selection algorithm "Feature Ordering by Conditional Independence" (FOCI), based on a nonlinear generalization of the partial R² statistic. So it can be especially useful in strongly nonlinear data scenarios.

It is based on

• Mona Azadkia and Sourav Chatterjee. A simple measure of conditional dependence. The Annals of Statistics, 49(6):3070–3102, 2021. [DOI] [arXiv]

• Sebastian Fuchs. Quantifying directed dependence via dimension reduction. Journal of Multivariate Analysis 201 (2024): 105266. [DOI] [arXiv]

The Package is scikit-learn compatible. It is available on PyPI.
