Package: xverse
xversexverseshort forXuniVerseis a Python module for machine learning in the space of feature engineering, feature transformation and feature selection.Currently, xverse package handles only binary target.InstallationThe package requiresnumpy, pandas, scikit-learn, scipyandstatsmodels. In addition, the package is tested on Python version 3.5 and above.To install the package, download this folder and execute:pythonsetup.pyinstallorpipinstallxverseTo install the development version. you can usepipinstall--upgradegit+https://github.com/Sundar0989/XuniVerseUsageXVerse module is fully compatible with sklearn transformers, so they can be used in pipelines or in your existing scripts. Currently, it supports only Pandas dataframes.ExampleMonotonic Binning (Feature transformation)fromxverse.transformerimportMonotonicBinningclf=MonotonicBinning()clf.fit(X,y)print(clf.bins){'age': array([19., 35., 45., 87.]),
