A Python package for generating synthetic data.

Project description

📦 synker

synker is a Python package for generating synthetic datasets based on real data using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) methods.

It supports:

  • Bandwidth selection (Scott's and Silverman's rules)
  • 2D KDE
  • Synthetic data generation
  • Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence evaluation
  • Arbitrary probability interval selection for data filtering and analysis

🚀 Features

  • Bandwidth Estimation using Scott's and Silverman's rules
  • 2D Kernel Density Estimation
  • Synthetic Data Generation based on KDE
  • KL Divergence Calculation to compare real and synthetic data
  • Probability Interval Filtering (pinkde): Identify data points within specified probability ranges
  • Modular and extensible design for ease of integration

🧠 Installation

Clone the repository and install the package locally:

git clone https://github.com/dhaselib/synker
cd synker
pip install .

🗂 Example Usage

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from synker import Scott
from synker import Silverman
from synker import KL_div
from synker import Synthetic
from synker import kde, Pinkde
import pandas as pd

# Generate sample data
np.random.seed(42)
data = np.random.weibull(a=10, size=(1000, 2))
X = np.random.weibull(a=5, size=1000)
Y = np.random.weibull(a=20, size=1000)

# Bandwidth estimation
hx = Scott(X)
hy = Scott(Y)
# Or using Silverman's rule
# hx = Silverman(X)
# hy = Silverman(Y)

# KDE
syn_X = np.linspace(min(X), max(X), 100)
syn_Y = np.linspace(min(Y), max(Y), 100)
pkde = kde(X, Y, syn_X, syn_Y, hx, hy)

# Alternatively:
pkde = kde(X, Y, hx=hx, hy=hy, res=100)

# Generate synthetic data
synth_data = Synthetic(X=X, Y=Y, hx=hx, hy=hy, res=100)
# Or use automatic bandwidth selection
synth_data = Synthetic(X, Y, bandwidth_method="Scott")

Synth_X = synth_data[:, 0]
Synth_Y = synth_data[:, 1]

# Calculate KL divergence
KL_divergence = KL_div(real_data=data, synthetic_data=synth_data, hx=hx, hy=hy)

# Use pinkde to filter based on probability interval
grid_x = np.linspace(min(X), max(X), 100)
grid_y = np.linspace(min(Y), max(Y), 100)
min_val, max_val = 0.2, 0.5
pinkde_result = Pinkde(X, Y, hx, hy, "Scott", grid_x, grid_y, 100, min_val, max_val)

# Plotting
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.scatter(X, Y, label="Original Data")
plt.scatter(Synth_X, Synth_Y, label="Synthetic Data")
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.legend()
plt.title("Original vs. Synthetic Data")

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.scatter(X, Y, label="Original Data", alpha=0.3)
plt.scatter(
    pinkde_result["X"],
    pinkde_result["Y"],
    label=f"P {min_val * 100:.0f}{max_val * 100:.0f}%",
    color='red',
    alpha=0.3
)
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.legend()
plt.title("Pinkde Result")
plt.show()

✅ Testing

A test file test_synker.py is included to validate core functionalities like bandwidth estimation, KDE, synthetic generation, KL divergence, and the pinkde module.

Run tests:

python -m unittest test_synker.py

Tests cover:

  • Scott and Silverman bandwidth estimation
  • 2D KDE result structure
  • Synthetic data shape and boundary validation
  • Non-negative KL divergence check
  • Probability interval selection with pinkde
