🪴AutoGluonSelectML.py

Trains a model using AutoGluon on provided data path and returns feature importance and model leaderboard.

Parameters

• gene_data_path (str):

  • Path to the gene expression data CSV file.

  • For example: '../data/gene_tpm.csv'

• class_data_path (str):

  • Path to the class data CSV file.

  • For example: '../data/tumor_class.csv'

• label_column (str):

  • Name of the column in the dataset that is the target label for prediction.

• test_size (float):

  • Proportion of the data to be used as the test set.

• threshold (float):

  • The threshold used to filter out rows based on the proportion of non-zero values.

• hyperparameters (dict, optional):

  • Dictionary of hyperparameters for the models.

  • For example: {'GBM': {}, 'RF': {}}

• random_feature (int, optional):

  • The number of random feature to select. If None, no random feature selection is performed.

  • Default is None.

• num_bag_folds (int, optional)

  • Please note: This parameter annotation source can be referred to the documentation link in References.

  • Number of folds used for bagging of models. When num_bag_folds = k, training time is roughly increased by a factor of k (set = 0 to disable bagging). Disabled by default (0), but we recommend values between 5-10 to maximize predictive performance. Increasing num_bag_folds will result in models with lower bias but that are more prone to overfitting. num_bag_folds = 1 is an invalid value, and will raise a ValueError. Values > 10 may produce diminishing returns, and can even harm overall results due to overfitting. To further improve predictions, avoid increasing num_bag_folds much beyond 10 and instead increase num_bag_sets.

  • default = None

• num_stack_levels (int, optional)

  • Please note: This parameter annotation source can be referred to the documentation link in References.

  • Number of stacking levels to use in stack ensemble. Roughly increases model training time by factor of num_stack_levels+1 (set = 0 to disable stack ensembling). Disabled by default (0), but we recommend values between 1-3 to maximize predictive performance. To prevent overfitting, num_bag_folds >= 2 must also be set or else a ValueError will be raised.

  • default = None

• time_limit (int, optional):

  • Time limit for training in seconds.

  • Default is 120.

• random_state (int, optional):

  • The seed used by the random number generator.

  • Default is 42.

Return

• importance (DataFrame):

  • DataFrame containing feature importance.

• leaderboard (DataFrame):

  • DataFrame containing model performance on the test data.
