QuaPy also integrates commonly used datasets and offers visualization tools
for facilitating the analysis and interpretation of results.
## A quick example:
The following script fetchs a Twitter dataset, trains and evaluates an
_Adjusted Classify & Count_ model in terms of the _Mean Absolute Error_ (MAE)
between the class prevalences estimated for the test set and the true prevalences
of the test set.
```python
import quapy as qp
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

Quantification is useful in scenarios of distribution shift. In other
words, we would not need to estimate the class prevalences of the test set if
we could assume the IID assumption to hold, as this prevalence would simply coincide with the
class prevalence of the training set. That is to say, a Quantification model
should be tested across samples characterized by different class prevalences.
QuaPy implements sampling procedures and evaluation protocols that automates this endeavour.
See the Wiki for detailed examples.
## Features
* Implementation of most popular quantification methods (Classify-&-Count variants, Expectation-Maximization,
SVM-based variants for quantification, HDy, QuaNet, and Ensembles).
* Versatile functionality for performing evaluation based on artificial sampling protocols.
* Implementation of most commonly used evaluation metrics (e.g., MAE, MRAE, MSE, NKLD, etc.).
* Popular datasets for Quantification (textual and numeric) available, including:
* 32 UCI Machine Learning datasets.
* 11 Twitter Sentiment datasets.
* 3 Reviews Sentiment datasets.
* Native supports for binary and single-label scenarios of quantification.
* Model selection functionality targeting quantification-oriented losses.
* Plotting routines ("error-by-drift", "diagonal", and "bias" plots).
## Requirements
* sklearnm, numpy, scipy
* pytorch (for QuaNet)
* svmperf patched for quantification (see below)
* joblib
* tqdm
* pandas, xlrd
* matplotlib
## SVM-perf with quantification-oriented losses
In order to run experiments involving SVM(Q), SVM(KLD), SVM(NKLD),
SVM(AE), or SVM(RAE), you have to first download the
[svmperf](http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/tj/svm_light/svm_perf.html)
package, apply the patch
[svm-perf-quantification-ext.patch](./svm-perf-quantification-ext.patch), and compile the sources.
The script [prepare_svmperf.sh](prepare_svmperf.sh) does all the job. Simply run:
```
./prepare_svmperf.sh
```
The resulting directory [svm_perf_quantification](./svm_perf_quantification) contains the
patched version of _svmperf_ with quantification-oriented losses.
The [svm-perf-quantification-ext.patch](./svm-perf-quantification-ext.patch) is an extension of the patch made available by
[Esuli et al. 2015](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2700406?casa_token=8D2fHsGCVn0AAAAA:ZfThYOvrzWxMGfZYlQW_y8Cagg-o_l6X_PcF09mdETQ4Tu7jK98mxFbGSXp9ZSO14JkUIYuDGFG0)
that allows SVMperf to optimize for
the _Q_ measure as proposed by [Barranquero et al. 2015](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S003132031400291X)
and for the _KLD_ and _NKLD_ as proposed by [Esuli et al. 2015](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2700406?casa_token=8D2fHsGCVn0AAAAA:ZfThYOvrzWxMGfZYlQW_y8Cagg-o_l6X_PcF09mdETQ4Tu7jK98mxFbGSXp9ZSO14JkUIYuDGFG0)
for quantification.
This patch extends the former by also allowing SVMperf to optimize for
_AE_ and _RAE_.
