(your-env) $ pip install pybear-dask

A Conda distribution is not expected to be made available anytime soon.

Usage

The folder structure of pybear-dask is nearly identical to scikit-learn. This is so those that are familiar with the scikit layout and have experience with writing the associated import statements have an easy transition to pybear-dask. The pybear-dask subfolders are base and model_selection.

You can import pybear-dask’s packages in the same way you would with scikit. Here are a few examples of how you could import and use pybear-dask modules:

from pybear-dask.model_selection import GSTCVDask

search = GSTCVDask()
search.fit(X, y)

from pybear-dask import model_selection as ms

search = ms.AutoGridSearchCVDask()
search.fit(X, y)

Major Modules

AutoGridSearchCVDask

Perform multiple uninterrupted passes of grid search with dask_ml GridSearchCV and dask objects utilizing progressively narrower search grids.

• Access via pybear-dask.model_selection.AutoGridSearchCVDask.

GSTCVDask (GridSearchThresholdCV for Dask)

Perform conventional grid search on a classifier with concurrent threshold search using dask objects in parallel and distributed environments. Finds the global optima for the passed parameters and thresholds. Fully compliant with the dask_ml/scikit-learn GridSearchCV API.

• Access via pybear-dask.model_selection.GSTCVDask.

AutoGSTCVDask (AutoGridSearchThresholdCV for Dask)

Perform multiple uninterrupted passes of grid search with pybear-dask GSTCVDask utilizing progressively narrower search grids.

• Access via pybear-dask.model_selection.AutoGSTCVDask.

Contributing

pybear-dask is not ready for contributions at this time! If you have a good idea that uses dask, it may be better to try to contribute directly to dask or dask-ml.

Testing

pybear-dask 0.2 is tested via GitHub Actions to run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS, with Python versions 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. pybear-dask is not supported nor tested on earlier versions.

If you want to test pybear-dask yourself, you will need:

• pytest (>=8.0.0) for Python version 3.14

• pytest (>=7.0.0) for Python versions 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, and 3.10

The tests are not available in the PyPI pip installation. You can get the tests by downloading the tarball from the pybear-dask project page on pypi.org or cloning the pybear-dask repo from GitHub. Once you have the source files in a local project folder, create a poetry environment for the project and install the test dependencies. After installation, open the poetry environment shell and you can launch the test suite from the root of your pybear-dask project folder with:

(your-pybear-dask-env) you@your_computer:/path/to/pybear-dask/project$ pytest tests/

Project History

This project was spun off the main pybear project just prior to the first public release of both. pybear-dask was spun off to ensure maximum stability for the main pybear project, while keeping these modules available.
