Random output trees

Build status https://coveralls.io/repos/arjoly/random-output-trees/badge.png?branch=master Code Health

Random output trees is a python package to grow decision tree ensemble on randomized output space. The core tree implementation is based on scikit-learn 0.15.2. All provided estimators and transformers are scikit-learn compatible.

Documentation

The documentation is available at http://arjoly.github.io/random-output-trees/

Dependencies

The required dependencies to build the software are Python >= 2.7, NumPy >= 1.6.2, SciPy >= 0.9, scikit-learn>=0.15.2 and a working C/C++ compiler.

For running the examples Matplotlib >= 1.1.1 is required and for running the tests you need nose >= 1.1.2.

For making the documentation, Sphinx==1.2.2 and sphinx-bootstrap-theme==0.4.0 are needed.

Install

This package uses distutils, which is the default way of installing python modules. To install in your home directory, use:

python setup.py install --user

To install for all users on Unix/Linux:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Development

You can check the latest sources with the command:

git clone https://github.com/arjoly/random-output-trees

or if you have write privileges:

git@github.com:arjoly/random-output-trees.git

After installation, you can launch the test suite from outside the source directory (you will need to have the nose package installed):

$ nosetests -v random_output_trees
