featureprocessing Package

ComBat Module

Decomposition Module

WORC.featureprocessing.Decomposition.Decomposition(features, patientinfo, config, output, label_type=None, verbose=True)

Perform decompositions to two components of the feature space.

Useage is similar to StatisticalTestFeatures.

Parameters

features: string, mandatory

contains the paths to all .hdf5 feature files used. modalityname1=file1,file2,file3,… modalityname2=file1,… Thus, modalities names are always between a space and a equal sign, files are split by commas. We assume that the lists of files for each modality has the same length. Files on the same position on each list should belong to the same patient.

patientinfo: string, mandatory

Contains the path referring to a .txt file containing the patient label(s) and value(s) to be used for learning. See the Github Wiki for the format.

config: string, mandatory

path referring to a .ini file containing the parameters used for feature extraction. See the Github Wiki for the possible fields and their description.

# TODO: outputs

verbose: boolean, default True

print final feature values and labels to command line or not.

FeatureConverter Module

WORC.featureprocessing.FeatureConverter.FeatureConverter(feat_in, toolbox, config, feat_out)

Convert features as extracted by a third-party toolbox to WORC format.

Parameters

feat_in: string

Path to input feature file as outputted by the feature extraction toolbox.

toolbox: string

Name of toolbox from which features are extracted.

config: string

Path to .ini file containing the configuration for this function.

feat_out: string

Path to .hdf5 file to which converted features should be saved

WORC.featureprocessing.FeatureConverter.convert_PREDICT(features, feat_out)

Convert features from PREDICT toolbox to WORC compatible format.

As PREDICT is the WORC default toolbox, we only need to add the name of the toolbox.

WORC.featureprocessing.FeatureConverter.convert_pyradiomics(features, feat_out=None)

Convert features from PyRadiomics toolbox to WORC compatible format.

Description:

WORC.featureprocessing.FeatureConverter.convert_pyradiomics_featurevector(featureVector)

ICCThreshold Module

class WORC.featureprocessing.ICCThreshold.ICCThreshold(ICCtype='intra', threshold=0.75)

Bases: BaseEstimator, SelectorMixin

Object to fit feature selection based on intra- or inter-class correlation coefficient as defined by

Shrout, Patrick E., and Joseph L. Fleiss. “Intraclass correlations: uses in assessing rater reliability.” Psychological bulletin 86.2 (1979): 420. http://rokwa.x-y.net/Shrout-Fleiss-ICC.pdf

For the intra-class, we use ICC(3,1).For the inter-class ICC, we should use ICC(2,1) according to definitions of the paper, but according to radiomics literatue (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/0284186X.2018.1445283?needAccess=true, https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.3109/0284186X.2013.812798?needAccess=true), we use ICC(3,1) anyway.

The default threshold of 0.75 is also based on the literature metioned above.

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__annotations__ = {}

__init__(ICCtype='intra', threshold=0.75)

Parameters

ICCtype: string, default ‘intra’

Parameters

X_trains: numpy array, mandatory

Array containing feature values used for model_selection. Number of objects on first axis, features on second axis, observers on third axis.

Y_train: numpy array, mandatory

Array containing the binary labels for each object in X_train.

set_fit_request(*, X_trains: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → ICCThreshold

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config()). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

__module__ = 'WORC.featureprocessing.SelectGroups'

fit(feature_labels)

Select only features specificed by parameters per patient.

Parameters

feature_labels: list, optional

Contains the labels of all features used. The index in this list will be used in the transform funtion to select features.

set_fit_request(*, feature_labels: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → SelectGroups

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config()). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

• True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

• False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.

• None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

• str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.
