pool_test_datasets.py – Pool character predictions within a directory, given directories of expected vs. observed test results

Description:

The script finds all paired expected and observed values in a set of directories and generates pooled .biom files in a specified output directory

Usage: pool_test_datasets.py [options]

Input Arguments:

Note

[REQUIRED]

-i, --trait_table_dir

The input trait table directory (files in biom format)

-e, --exp_trait_table_dir

The input expected trait table directory (files in biom format)

-o, --output_dir

The output directory

[OPTIONAL]

-f, --field_order

Pass comma-separated categories, in the order they appear in file names. Categories are “file_type”,”prediction_method”,”weighting_method”,”holdout_method” (randomization vs. holdout),”distance”,and “organism”. Example: “-f file_type,test_method,asr_method specifies that files will be in the form: predict_traits–distance_exclusion–wagner. Any unspecified values are set to “not_specified”. [default: file_type,prediction_method,weighting_method,holdout_method,distance,organism]

-p, --pool_by

Pass comma-separated categories to pool results by those metadata categories. Valid categories are: holdout_method, prediction_method,weighting_method,distance and organism. For example, pass “distance” to output results pooled by holdout distance in addition to holdout method and prediction method [default: False]

Output:

Outputs will be obs,exp data points for the comparison

Pool .biom files according to holdout_distance.
