scikit-physlearn 0.1.4

A Python package for single-target and multi-target regression tasks.

Scikit-physlearn

Scikit-physlearn is a machine learning library designed to amalgamate Scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, CatBoost, and Mlxtend regressors into a flexible framework that:

• Follows the Scikit-learn API.

• Processes pandas data representations.

• Solves single-target and multi-target regression tasks.

• Interprets regressors with SHAP.

Additionally, the library contains the official implementation of base boosting, which is an algorithmic paradigm for building additive expansions based upon the output of any base-level regressor. The implementation:

• Supplants the statistical initialization in gradient boosting with the output of any base-level regressor.

• Boosts arbitrary basis functions, i.e., it is not limited to boosting decision trees.

• Efficiently learns in the low data regime.

The library was started by Alex Wozniakowski during his graduate studies at Nanyang Technological University.

Installation

Scikit-physlearn can be installed from PyPI:

pip install scikit-physlearn

To build from source, see the installation guide.
