论文摘要
机器学习（ML）提供了在具有较大特征空间和复杂关联的数据中通常在数据中检测和建模关联的强大方法。已经开发了许多有用的工具/软件包（例如Scikit-Learn），以使数据处理，处理，建模和解释的各种要素可访问。但是，对于大多数研究人员来说，将这些元素组装成严格，可复制，无偏见且有效的数据分析管道并不是微不足道的。自动化机器学习（AUTOML）试图通过简化所有人的ML分析过程来解决这些问题。在这里，我们介绍了一个简单，透明的端到端汽车管道，设计为一个框架，以轻松进行严格的ML建模和分析（最初限于二进制分类）。 Streamline专门设计用于比较数据集，ML算法和其他AutoML工具之间的性能。 It is unique among other autoML tools by offering a fully transparent and consistent baseline of comparison using a carefully designed series of pipeline elements including: (1) exploratory analysis, (2) basic data cleaning, (3) cross validation partitioning, (4) data scaling and imputation, (5) filter-based feature importance estimation, (6) collective feature selection, (7) ML modeling with `Optuna' hyperparameter optimization across 15 established算法（包括鲜为人知的遗传编程和基于规则的ML），（8）跨16个分类指标的评估，（9）模型特征重要性估计，（10）统计显着性比较，以及（11）自动导出所有结果，绘图，图，PDF摘要报告以及可以轻松应用于复制数据的模型。
Machine learning (ML) offers powerful methods for detecting and modeling associations often in data with large feature spaces and complex associations. Many useful tools/packages (e.g. scikit-learn) have been developed to make the various elements of data handling, processing, modeling, and interpretation accessible. However, it is not trivial for most investigators to assemble these elements into a rigorous, replicatable, unbiased, and effective data analysis pipeline. Automated machine learning (AutoML) seeks to address these issues by simplifying the process of ML analysis for all. Here, we introduce STREAMLINE, a simple, transparent, end-to-end AutoML pipeline designed as a framework to easily conduct rigorous ML modeling and analysis (limited initially to binary classification). STREAMLINE is specifically designed to compare performance between datasets, ML algorithms, and other AutoML tools. It is unique among other autoML tools by offering a fully transparent and consistent baseline of comparison using a carefully designed series of pipeline elements including: (1) exploratory analysis, (2) basic data cleaning, (3) cross validation partitioning, (4) data scaling and imputation, (5) filter-based feature importance estimation, (6) collective feature selection, (7) ML modeling with `Optuna' hyperparameter optimization across 15 established algorithms (including less well-known Genetic Programming and rule-based ML), (8) evaluation across 16 classification metrics, (9) model feature importance estimation, (10) statistical significance comparisons, and (11) automatically exporting all results, plots, a PDF summary report, and models that can be easily applied to replication data.
