A fast numpy/numba-based implementation of ranking metrics for information retrieval and recommendation.
Coded with efficiency in mind and support for edge cases. 

Find the full `documentation here <https://rankereval.readthedocs.io>`_.

Features
--------
* Wide array of evaluation metrics for information retrieval and top-N recommender systems:

  * Binary labels: Recall, Precision, MAP, HitRate, MRR, MeanRanks, F1
  * Numeric and binary labels: DCG, nDCG
* Minimal dependencies: Numpy and Numba (required), SciPy (optional)
* Flexible input formats: Supports arrays, lists and sparse matrices 
* Built-in support for confidence intervals via bootstrapping
  
Usage
-----
.. code-block:: python

    from rankereval import BinaryLabels, Rankings, Recall
    
    y_true = BinaryLabels.from_positive_indices([[0,2], [0,1,2]])
    y_pred = Rankings.from_ranked_indices([[2,1], [1]])

    recall_at_3 = Recall(3).mean(y_true, y_pred)
    print(recall_at_3["score"])


To get confidence intervals (95% by default), specify ``conf_interval=True``:

.. code-block:: python

    recall_at_3 = Recall(3).mean(y_true, y_pred, conf_interval=True)
    print(recall_at_3["conf_interval"])
    
Input formats
+++++++++++++
RankerEval allows for a variety of input formats, e.g., 

.. code-block:: python

    # specify all labels as lists
    y_true = BinaryLabels.from_dense([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]])
    
    # specify labels as numpy array
    y_true = BinaryLabels.from_dense(np.asarray([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]]))
    
    # or use a sparse matrix
    import scipy.sparse as sp
    y_true = BinaryLabels.from_sparse(sp.coo_matrix([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]]))


    
Installation
------------

To install (requires Numpy 1.18 or newer):

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install rankereval
