Usage

import mltk

Warning: Python Variable, Function or Class names

The Python interpreter has a number of built-in functions. It is possible to overwrite thier definitions when coding without any rasing a warning from the Python interpriter. (https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html) Therfore, AVOID THESE NAMES as your variable, function or class names.

abs	all	any	ascii	bin	bool	bytearray	bytes
callable	chr	classmethod	compile	complex	delattr	dict	dir
divmod	enumerate	eval	exec	filter	float	format	frozenset
getattr	globals	hasattr	hash	help	hex	id	input
int	isinstance	issubclass	iter	len	list	locals	map
max	memoryview	min	next	object	oct	open	ord
pow	print	property	range	repr	reversed	round	set
setattr	slice	sorted	staticmethod	str	sum	super	tuple
type	vars	zip	__import__

If you accedently overwrite any of the built-in function (e.g. list), execute the following to bring built-in defition.

del(list)

Similarly, avoid using special charcters and spaces in the column names of the DataFrames. Execute the following to remove special characters from the column names.

Data = mltk.clean_column_names(Data, replace='')

MLToolkit Example

Data Loading and exploration

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import mltk as mltk

Data = mltk.read_data_csv(file=r'C:\Projects\Data\incomedata.csv')
Data = mltk.clean_column_names(Data, replace='')
Data = mltk.add_identity_column(Data, id_label='ID', start=1, increment=1)
DataStats = mltk.data_description(Data)

Data Pre-processing and Feature Engineering

# Analyze Response Target
print(mltk.variable_frequency(DataFrame=Data, variable='income'))

# Set Target Variables
targetVariable = 'HighIncome'
targetCondition = "income=='>50K'" #For Binary Classification

Data=mltk.set_binary_target(Data, target_condition=targetCondition, target_variable=targetVariable)
print(mltk.variable_frequency(DataFrame=Data, variable=targetVariable))

# Flag Records to Exclude
excludeCondition="age < 18"
action = 'flag' # 'drop' #
excludeLabel = 'EXCLUDE'
Data=mltk.exclude_records(Data, exclude_ondition=excludeCondition, action=action, exclude_label=excludeLabel) # )#

# Get list of uniques values in categorical variables
categoryVariables = set({'sex', 'nativecountry', 'race', 'occupation', 'workclass', 'maritalstatus', 'relationship'})
print(mltk.category_lists(Data, list(categoryVariables)))

# Merge unique categorical values
category_merges = [{'variable':'maritalstatus', 'category_variable':'maritalstatus', 'group_value':'Married', 'values':["Married-civ-spouse", "Married-spouse-absent", "Married-AF-spouse"]}]
Data = mltk.merge_categories(Data, category_merges)

# Show Frequency distribution of categorical variable
sourceVariable='maritalstatus'
table = mltk.variable_frequency(Data, variable=sourceVariable, show_plot=False)
table.style.background_gradient(cmap='Greens').set_precision(3)

# Response Rate For Categorical Variables
mltk.variable_responses(Data, variables=categoryVariables, target_variable=targetVariable, show_output=False, show_plot=True)

Acknowledgement and Remarks

Some functions of MLToolKit depends on number of Open Source Python Libraries such as

• Data Manipulation : Pandas
• Machine Learning: Statsmodels, Scikit-learn, Catboost, XGBoost, LightGBM
• Deep Learning: Tensorflow,
• Model Interpretability: Shap, Lime
• Server Framework: Flask
• Text Processing: BeautifulSoup, TextLab
• Database Connectivity: SQLAlchemy, PyODBC MLToolkit Project acknowledge the creators and contributors of the above libraries for their contribution to the Open Source Community.

MLToolKit library and some novel concepts introduced with original ideas of the author implemented as an effort of putting together the lifetime learning and experience working on multiple data science projects to a good use and as a contribution back to the Open Source Community.

Author would like to thank number of content creators in the data science and machine learning topics not limited to online learning platforms and blogs for making aviable insightful resources to explore and learn the subject. A complete reference list will be published with a future version...

As a Free and Open Source initiative and a independent R&D project, author has no conflict of interest or, financial interest to the MLToolKit library. However, proper mention of the source abiding the License Terms is highly appreciated when the library itself or any useful concepts or parts are used.

MLToolKit is set to evolve with adding more features and functionality, and interoperability with more standard data science and machine learning libraries. MLToolKit will always be available as Free and Open Source Python library in the future.
