This repository contains all the code (in the form of Jupyter Notebooks) to reproduce the results in our paper, "Light Curve Classification with DistClassiPy: a new distance-based classifier".
The accompanying package, DistClassiPy can be found on GitHub at sidchaini/DistClassiPy and can be installed from PyPI by the command pip install distclassipy.
The Jupyter Notebooks are in the notebooks/ directory. There are a total of 10 base notebooks with subvariants for each classification depending on the notebook.
Note that a denotes the one-vs-rest classification problem (EA vs notEA), b denotes the binary classification problem (RSCVn vs BYDra) and c denotes the multi-class classification problem (CEP vs DSCT vs RR vs RRc).
If you use DistClassiPy in your research or project, please consider citing the paper:
