# MDR
A scikit-learn-compatible Python implementation of Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) for feature construction. **This project is still under active development** and we encourage you to check back on this repository regularly for updates.
MDR is an effective feature construction algorithm that is capable of modeling higher-order interactions and capturing complex patterns in data sets.
MDR currently only works with categorical features and supports both binary classification and regression problems. We are working on expanding the algorithm to cover more problem types and provide more convenience features.
## License
Please see the [repository license](https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr/blob/master/LICENSE) for the licensing and usage information for the MDR package.
Generally, we have licensed the MDR package to make it as widely usable as possible.
## Installation
MDR is built on top of the following existing Python packages:
* NumPy
* SciPy
* scikit-learn
* matplotlib
All of the necessary Python packages can be installed via the [Anaconda Python distribution](https://www.continuum.io/downloads), which we strongly recommend that you use. We also strongly recommend that you use Python 3 over Python 2 if you're given the choice.
NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, and matplotlib can be installed in Anaconda via the command:
```
conda install numpy scipy scikit-learn matplotlib
```
Once the prerequisites are installed, you should be able to install MDR with a `pip` command:
```
pip install scikit-mdr
```
Please [file a new issue](https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr/issues/new) if you run into installation problems.
## Examples
MDR has been coded with a scikit-learn-like interface to be easy to use. The typical `fit`, `transform`, and `fit_transform` methods are available for every feature construction algorithm. For example, MDR can be used to construct a new feature composed from two existing features:
```python
from mdr import MDR
import pandas as pd
genetic_data = pd.read_csv('https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr/raw/development/data/GAMETES_Epistasis_2-Way_20atts_0.4H_EDM-1_1.tsv.gz', sep='\t', compression='gzip')
features = genetic_data.drop('class', axis=1).values
labels = genetic_data['class'].values
my_mdr = MDR()
my_mdr.fit(features, labels)
my_mdr.transform(features)
>>>array([[1],
>>> [1],
>>> [1],
>>> ...,
>>> [0],
>>> [0],
>>> [0]])
```
You can also use MDR as a classifier, and evaluate the quality of the constructed feature with the `score` function:
```python
from mdr import MDRClassifier
import pandas as pd
genetic_data = pd.read_csv('https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr/raw/development/data/GAMETES_Epistasis_2-Way_20atts_0.4H_EDM-1_1.tsv.gz', sep='\t', compression='gzip')
features = genetic_data.drop('class', axis=1).values
labels = genetic_data['class'].values
my_mdr = MDRClassifier()
my_mdr.fit(features, labels)
my_mdr.score(features, labels)
>>>0.998125
```
If you want to use MDR for regression problems, use `ContinuousMDR`:
```python
from mdr import ContinuousMDR
import pandas as pd
genetic_data = pd.read_csv('https://github.com/EpistasisLab/scikit-mdr/raw/development/data/GAMETES_Epistasis_2-Way_continuous_endpoint_a_20s_1600her_0.4__maf_0.2_EDM-2_01.tsv.gz', sep='\t', compression='gzip')
features = genetic_data[['M0P0', 'M0P1']].values
targets = genetic_data['Class'].values
my_cmdr = ContinuousMDR()
my_cmdr.fit(features, targets)
my_cmdr.transform(features)
>>>array([[0],
>>> [1],
>>> [1],
>>> ...,
>>> [0],
>>> [1],
>>> [1]])
```
