This Python project provides a supervised multi-class classification algorithm with a focus on calibration, which allows the prediction of class labels and their probabilities including gradients with respect to features. The classifier is designed along the principles of an `scikit-learn `_ estimator. 

The details of the algorithm have been published in `PLOS ONE `_ (preprint: `arXiv:2103.02926 `_).

Complete documentation of the code is available via ``_. Example notebooks can be found in the `examples` directory.

**Installation**

Install the package via pip or clone this repository. In order to use pip, type:

.. code-block:: sh

  $ pip install casimac

**Getting Started**

Use the ``CASIMAClassifier`` class to create a classifier object. This object provides a ``fit`` method for training and a ``predict`` method for the estimation of class labels. Furthermore, the ``predict_proba`` method can be used to predict class label probabilities.

Below is a short example.

.. code-block:: python

  from casimac import CASIMAClassifier
  
  import numpy as np
  from sklearn.gaussian_process import GaussianProcessRegressor
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  # Create toy data
  N = 10
  seed = 42
  X = np.random.RandomState(seed).uniform(-10,10,N).reshape(-1,1)
  y = np.zeros(X.size)
  y[X[:,0]>0] = 1
  
  # Classify
  clf = CASIMAClassifier(GaussianProcessRegressor)
  clf.fit(X, y)
  
  # Predict
  X_sample = np.linspace(-10,10,100).reshape(-1,1)
  y_sample = clf.predict(X_sample)
  p_sample = clf.predict_proba(X_sample)
  
  # Plot result
  plt.figure(figsize=(8,3))
  plt.plot(X_sample,y_sample,label="class prediction")
  plt.plot(X_sample,p_sample[:,1],label="class probability prediction")
  plt.scatter(X,y,c='r',label="train data")
  plt.xlabel("X")
  plt.ylabel("label / probability")
  plt.legend()
  plt.show()
