PyUoI contains implementations of Union of Intersections framework for a variety of penalized generalized linear models as well as dimensionality reductions techniques such as column subset selection and non-negative matrix factorization. In general, UoI is a statistical machine learning framework that leverages two concepts in model inference:

1. Separating the selection and estimation problems to simultaneously achieve sparse models with low-bias and low-variance parameter estimates.
2. Stability to perturbations in both selection and estimation.

PyUoI is designed to function similarly to scikit-learn, as it often builds upon scikit-learn's implementations of the aforementioned algorithms.

Further details on the UoI framework can be found in the NeurIPS paper (Bouchard et al., 2017).

Installation

PyUoI is available for Python 3 on PyPI:

pip install pyuoi

and through conda-forge:

conda install pyuoi -c conda-forge

Requirements

Runtime

PyUoI requires

• numpy>=1.14
• h5py>=2.8
• scikit-learn>=0.24

and optionally

• pycasso
• mpi4py

to run.

Develop

To develop PyUoI you will additionally need

• cython

to build from source and

• pytest
• flake8

to run the tests and check formatting.

PyUoI has been built and tested on Python 3.9.18 with

• numpy==1.26.1
• h5py==3.10.0
• scikit-learn==1.3.1
• cython==3.0.4
• pytest==7.4.2
• flake8==6.1.0

Features

PyUoI is split up into two modules, with the following UoI algorithms:

• linear_model (generalized linear models)
  • Lasso penalized linear regression UoI_Lasso.
  • Elastic-net penalized linear regression (UoI_ElasticNet).
  • Logistic regression (Bernoulli and multinomial) (UoI_Logistic).
  • Poisson regression (UoI_Poisson).
• decomposition (dimensionality reduction)
  • Column subset selection (UoI_CSS).
  • Non-negative matrix factorization (UoI_NMF).

Similar to scikit-learn, each UoI algorithm has its own Python class.
