A framework for predicting T-cell clonal expansion from single-cell RNA sequencing data.

**Manuscript in preparation** - detailed methodology and benchmarks coming soon.

**[View full documentation](https://scxpand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)** for comprehensive guides and API reference.

## Features

- **Multiple Model Architectures**:
  - **Autoencoder-based**: Encoder-decoder with reconstruction and classification heads
  - **MLP**: Multi-layer perceptron
  - **LightGBM**: Gradient boosted decision trees
  - **Linear Models**: Logistic regression and support vector machines
- **Scalable Processing**: Handles millions of cells with memory-efficient data streaming from disk during training
- **Automated Hyperparameter Optimization**: Built-in Optuna integration for model tuning

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to our **[Installation Guide](https://scxpand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html)**.

### Published Version Install

**CUDA version (NVIDIA GPU):**

With pip:
```bash
pip install --upgrade scxpand-cuda --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
```

With uv:
```bash
uv pip install --upgrade scxpand-cuda --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128 --index-strategy unsafe-best-match
```

**CPU/Apple Silicon/Other GPUs:**

With pip:
```bash
pip install --upgrade scxpand
```

With uv:
```bash
uv pip install --upgrade scxpand
```

### Development Setup (Install from Source)

See the [Installation Guide](https://scxpand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html)

---

## Quick Start

```python
import scxpand
# Make sure that "your_data.h5ad" includes only T cells for the results to be meaningful
# Ensure that "your_data.var_names" are provided as Ensembl IDs (as the pre-trained models were trained using this gene representation)
# Please refer to our documentation for more information

# List available pre-trained models
scxpand.list_pretrained_models()

# Run inference with automatic model download
results = scxpand.run_inference(
    model_name="pan_cancer_autoencoder",  # default model
    data_path="your_data.h5ad"
)

# Access predictions
predictions = results.predictions
if results.has_metrics:
    print(f"AUROC: {results.get_auroc():.3f}")
```

See our **[Tutorial Notebook](docs/notebooks/scxpand_tutorial.ipynb)** for a complete example with data preprocessing, T-cell filtering, gene ID conversion, and model application using a real breast cancer dataset.
