## Features

`SDQCPy` offers a comprehensive toolkit for synthetic data generation, quality assessment, and analysis:

1. **Data Synthesis**: Generate synthetic data using various models.
2. **Quality Evaluation**: Assess synthetic data quality through statistical tests, classification metrics, explainability analysis, and causal inference.
3. **End-to-End Analysis**: Perform holistic analysis by integrating multiple evaluation methods to provide a comprehensive view of synthetic data quality.
4. **Results Display**: Store the results in *a HTML file*.

## Installation

***You can install `SDQCPy` using pip:***

```bash
pip install sdqcpy
```
***Alternatively, you can install it from the source:***

```bash
git clone https://github.com/T0217/sdqcpy.git
cd sdqcpy
pip install -e .
```

## Results Display

`SDQCPy` provides a `SequentialAnalysis` class to perform the sequential analysis and store the results in *a HTML file*.

## Usage

### Demo

You can use the following code to achieve the sequential analysis and store the results in a HTML file:

```python
from sdqc_integration import SequentialAnalysis
from sdqc_data import read_data
import logging
import warnings

# Ignore warnings and set logging level to ERROR
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)

# Set random seed
random_seed = 17

# Replace with your own data path and use pandas to read the data
raw_data = read_data('3_raw')
synthetic_data = read_data('3_synth')

output_path = 'raw_synth.html'

# Perform sequential analysis
sequential = SequentialAnalysis(
    raw_data=raw_data,
    synthetic_data=synthetic_data,
    random_seed=random_seed,
    use_cols=None,
)
results = sequential.run()
sequential.visualize_html(output_path)
```

### Data Synthesis

`SDQCPy` supports various methods, the implementation of these methods are using [`ydata-synthetic`](https://github.com/ydataai/ydata-synthetic) and [`SDV`](https://github.com/sdv-dev/SDV).

>   [!TIP]
>
>   ***We only display simple code here, and the parameters of each model can be further modified as needed.***

-   **YData Synthesizer**

    ```python
    import pandas as pd
    from sdqc_synthesize import YDataSynthesizer
    
    raw_data = pd.read_csv("raw_data.csv")  # Please replace with your own data path
    ydata_synth = YDataSynthesizer(data=raw_data)
    synthetic_data = ydata_synth.generate()
    ```

>   [!IMPORTANT]
>
>   ***In the latest version, [`ydata-synthetic`](https://github.com/ydataai/ydata-synthetic) has switched to using [ydata-sdk](https://github.com/ydataai/ydata-sdk). However, since synthetic data is only a supplementary feature of this library, it has not been updated yet.***    

- **SDV Synthesizer**

    ```python
    import pandas as pd
    from sdqc_synthesize import SDVSynthesizer
    
    raw_data = pd.read_csv("raw_data.csv")  # Please replace with your own data path
    sdv_synth = SDVSynthesizer(data=raw_data)
    synthetic_data = sdv_synth.generate()
    ```

## Workflow
`SDQCPy` use the process shown below to perform the quality check and analysis:

    step4 --> endprocess
```

- **Statistical Test**
`SDQCPy` employs various methods for *descriptive analysis*, *distribution comparison*, and *correlation testing* tailored to ***different data types***.
- **Classification**
`SDQCPy` employs machine learning models(`SVC`, `RandomForestClassifier`, `XGBClassifier`, `LGBMClassifier`) to evaluate the similarity between the real and synthetic data.
- **Explainability**
`SDQCPy` employs several of the current mainstream explainability methods(`Model-Based`,`SHAP`, `PFI`) to evaluate the explainability of the synthetic data.
- **Causal Analysis**
`SDQCPy` employs several causal structure learning methods and evaluation metrics to compare the adjacency matrix of the raw and synthetic data. The implementation of these methods are using [`gCastle`](https://github.com/huawei-noah/trustworthyAI/tree/master/gcastle).
- **End-to-End Analysis**(named `SequentialAnalysis`)
To streamline the process of calling individual modules one by one, we have integrated all the functions. If you have specific needs, you can also use these functions along your lines.
