Zenodo

Documentation (stable) Documentation (development)

PkgEval Continuous integration (CI) Code coverage

PredictMD is a free and open-source Julia package that provides a uniform interface for machine learning.

PredictMD makes it easy to automate machine learning workflows and create reproducible machine learning pipelines.

It is the official machine learning framework of the Brown Center for Biomedical Informatics.

Installation

PredictMD is registered in the Julia General registry. Therefore, to install PredictMD, simply open Julia and run the following four lines:

import Pkg
Pkg.activate("PredictMDEnvironment"; shared = true)
Pkg.add("PredictMDFull")
import PredictMDFull

Run the test suite after installing

After you install PredictMD, you should run the test suite to make sure that everything is working. You can run the test suite by running the following five lines in Julia:

import Pkg
Pkg.activate("PredictMDEnvironment"; shared = true)
Pkg.test("PredictMDExtra")
Pkg.test("PredictMDFull")
Pkg.test("PredictMD")

Citing

If you use PredictMD in research, please cite the software using the following DOI:

Docker image

Alternatively, you can use the PredictMD Docker image for easy installation. Download and start the container by running the following line:

docker run --name predictmd -it dilumaluthge/predictmd /bin/bash

Once you are inside the container, you can start Julia by running the following line:

julia

In Julia, run the following line to load PredictMD:

import PredictMDFull

You can run the test suite by running the following four lines in Julia:

import Pkg
Pkg.test("PredictMDExtra")
Pkg.test("PredictMDFull")
Pkg.test("PredictMD")

After you have exited the container, you can return to it by running the following line:

docker start -ai predictmd

To delete your container, run the following line:

docker container rm -f predictmd

To also delete the downloaded image, run the following line:

docker image rm -f dilumaluthge/predictmd

Documentation

The PredictMD documentation contains useful information, including instructions for use, example code, and a description of PredictMD's internals.
