Improved Kernel Partial Least Squares (IKPLS) and Fast Cross-Validation

The ikpls software package provides fast and efficient tools for PLS (Partial Least Squares) modeling. This package is designed to help researchers and practitioners handle PLS modeling faster than previously possible - particularly on large datasets.

Unlock the Power of Fast and Stable Partial Least Squares Modeling with IKPLS

Dive into cutting-edge Python implementations of the IKPLS (Improved Kernel Partial Least Squares) Algorithms #1 and #2 [1] for CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs. IKPLS is both fast [2] and numerically stable [3] making it optimal for PLS modeling.

Use our NumPy [4] based CPU implementations for seamless integration with scikit-learn\'s [5] ecosystem of machine learning algorithms and pipelines. As the implementations subclass scikit-learn's BaseEstimator, they can be used with scikit-learn\'s cross_validate.
Use our JAX [6] implementations on CPUs or leverage powerful GPUs and TPUs for PLS modelling. Our JAX implementations are end-to-end differentaible allowing gradient propagation when using PLS as a layer in a deep learning model.
Use our combination of IKPLS with Engstrøm's unbelievably fast cross-validation algorithm [7] to quickly determine the optimal combination of preprocessing and number of PLS components.

Fast Cross-Validation

In addition to the standalone IKPLS implementations, this package contains an implementation of IKPLS combined with the novel, fast cross-validation by Engstrøm [7]. The fast cross-validation algorithm benefit both IKPLS Algorithms and especially Algorithm #2. The fast cross-validation algorithm is mathematically equivalent to the classical cross-validation algorithm. Still, it is much quicker. The fast cross-validation algorithm correctly handles (column-wise) centering and scaling of the X and Y input matrices using training set means and standard deviations to avoid data leakage from the validation set. This centering and scaling can be enabled or disabled independently from eachother and for X and Y by setting the parameters center_X, center_Y, scale_X, and scale_Y, respectively. In addition to correctly handling (column-wise) centering and scaling, the fast cross-validation algorithm correctly handles row-wise preprocessing that operates independently on each sample such as (row-wise) centering and scaling of the X and Y input matrices, convolution, or other preprocessing. Row-wise preprocessing can safely be applied before passing the data to the fast cross-validation algorithm.

Prerequisites

The JAX implementations support running on both CPU, GPU, and TPU.

To enable NVIDIA GPU execution, install JAX and CUDA with:
```
pip3 install -U "jax[cuda12]"
```

To enable Google Cloud TPU execution, install JAX with:

pip3 install -U "jax[tpu]" -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/libtpu_releases.html

These are typical installation instructions that will be what most users are looking for. For customized installations, follow the instructions from the JAX Installation Guide.

To ensure that JAX implementations use Float64, set the environment variable JAX_ENABLE_X64=True as per the Current Gotchas.

Installation

Install the package for Python3 using the following command:
```
pip3 install ikpls
```

Now you can import the NumPy and JAX implementations with:

from ikpls.numpy_ikpls import PLS as NpPLS
from ikpls.jax_ikpls_alg_1 import PLS as JAXPLS_Alg_1
from ikpls.jax_ikpls_alg_2 import PLS as JAXPLS_Alg_2
from ikpls.fast_cross_validation.numpy_ikpls import PLS as NpPLS_FastCV

Quick Start

Use the ikpls package for PLS modeling

import numpy as np

from ikpls.numpy_ikpls import PLS

 N = 100  # Number of samples.
 K = 50  # Number of features.
 M = 10  # Number of targets.
 A = 20  # Number of latent variables (PLS components).

 # Using float64 is important for numerical stability.
 X = np.random.uniform(size=(N, K)).astype(np.float64)
 Y = np.random.uniform(size=(N, M)).astype(np.float64)

 # The other PLS algorithms and implementations have the same interface for fit()
 # and predict(). The fast cross-validation implementation with IKPLS has a
 # different interface.
 np_ikpls_alg_1 = PLS(algorithm=1)
 np_ikpls_alg_1.fit(X, Y, A)

 # Has shape (A, N, M) = (20, 100, 10). Contains a prediction for all possible
 # numbers of components up to and including A.
 y_pred = np_ikpls_alg_1.predict(X)

 # Has shape (N, M) = (100, 10).
 y_pred_20_components = np_ikpls_alg_1.predict(X, n_components=20)
 (y_pred_20_components == y_pred[19]).all()  # True

 # The internal model parameters can be accessed as follows:

 # Regression coefficients tensor of shape (A, K, M) = (20, 50, 10).
 np_ikpls_alg_1.B

 # X weights matrix of shape (K, A) = (50, 20).
 np_ikpls_alg_1.W

 # X loadings matrix of shape (K, A) = (50, 20).
 np_ikpls_alg_1.P

 # Y loadings matrix of shape (M, A) = (10, 20).
 np_ikpls_alg_1.Q

 # X rotations matrix of shape (K, A) = (50, 20).
 np_ikpls_alg_1.R

 # X scores matrix of shape (N, A) = (100, 20).
 # This is only computed for IKPLS Algorithm #1.
 np_ikpls_alg_1.T
