Python package for generating bootstrap visualizations of high-dimensional data. Great for assessing stability of visualizations and increasing robustness of interpretations. Also included are methods for computing variance scores along with classical concordance scores for quantifying the quality of a visualization.
For a Quick Start guide, please refer to tutorial.ipynb.
Install the package through PyPI with pip. We recommend setting up a conda environment (or another virtual environment) first since dynamicviz currently relies on specific versions for its dependencies:
conda create -n myenv python=3.8
conda activate myenv
pip install dynamicviz
Another way to install the package along with associated test and tutorial files is to clone the directory and then install the requirements for using the package. To do this, first clone the repository using git (you can install git following the instructions here):
git clone https://github.com/sunericd/dynamicviz.git
We recommend setting up a conda environment to install the requirements for the package (instructions for installing conda and what conda environment can do can be found here). Installation of requirements can then be done with the following commands:
conda create -n dynamicviz python=3.8
conda activate dynamicviz
cd dynamicviz
pip install -r requirements.txt
To test that the installation is working correctly, you can use the Jupyter notebook tutorial.ipynb (requires installing Jupyter, instructions found here, and adding the conda environment we just created to the Jupyter notebook kernels, instructions found here) or the test script test.py to check against expected outputs of the key methods.
For the test data in the tutorial notebook, expected run times are under 5 minutes for interactive visualization and under 10 minutes for global variance score calculation.
