News

• As of v0.6, neuropredict now supports regression applications i.e. predicting continuous targets (in addition to categorical classes), as well as allow you to regress out covariates / confounds within the nested-CV (following all the best practices). Utilizing this feature requires the input datasets be specified in the pyradigm data structures: code @ https://github.com/raamana/pyradigm, docs @ https://raamana.github.io/pyradigm/. Check the changelog below for more details.

Older news

• neuropredict can handle missing data now (that are encoded with numpy.NaN). This is done respecting the cross-validation splits without any data leakage.

Change Log - version 0.6

• Major feature: Ability to predict continuous variables (regression)
• Major feature: Ability to handle confounds (regress them out, augmenting etc)
• Redesigned the internal structure for easier extensibility
• New CVResults class for easier management of a wealth of outputs generated in the Classification and Regression workflows
• API access is refreshed and easier

Change Log - version 0.5.2

• Imputation of missing values
• Additional classifiers such as XGBoost, Decision Trees
• Better internal code structure
• Lot more tests
• More precise tests, as we vary number of classes wildly in test suites
• several bug fixes and enhancements
• More cmd line options such as --print_options from a previous run
