For Contibutors

Setup.py file

1. Do not forget to set package list. All subfolders should be added to the package list.

    packages=['Classification', 'Classification.Model', 'Classification.Model.DecisionTree',
              'Classification.Model.Ensemble', 'Classification.Model.NeuralNetwork',
              'Classification.Model.NonParametric', 'Classification.Model.Parametric',
              'Classification.Filter', 'Classification.DataSet', 'Classification.Instance', 'Classification.Attribute',
              'Classification.Parameter', 'Classification.Experiment',
              'Classification.Performance', 'Classification.InstanceList', 'Classification.DistanceMetric',
              'Classification.StatisticalTest', 'Classification.FeatureSelection'],

2. Package name should be lowercase and only may include _ character.

    name='nlptoolkit_math',

Python files

1. Do not forget to comment each function.

    def __broadcast_shape(self, shape1: Tuple[int, ...], shape2: Tuple[int, ...]) -> Tuple[int, ...]:
        """
        Determines the broadcasted shape of two tensors.

        :param shape1: Tuple representing the first tensor shape.
        :param shape2: Tuple representing the second tensor shape.
        :return: Tuple representing the broadcasted shape.
        """

2. Function names should follow caml case.

    def addItem(self, item: str):

3. Local variables should follow snake case.

	det = 1.0
	copy_of_matrix = copy.deepcopy(self)

4. Class variables should be declared in each file.

class Eigenvector(Vector):
    eigenvalue: float

5. Variable types should be defined for function parameters and class variables.

    def getIndex(self, item: str) -> int:

6. For abstract methods, use ABC package and declare them with @abstractmethod.

    @abstractmethod
    def train(self, train_set: list[Tensor]):
        pass

7. For private methods, use __ as prefix in their names.

    def __infer_shape(self, data: Union[List, List[List], List[List[List]]]) -> Tuple[int, ...]:

8. For private class variables, use __ as prefix in their names.

class Matrix(object):
    __row: int
    __col: int
    __values: list[list[float]]

9. Write __repr__ class methods as toString methods
10. Write getter and setter class methods.

    def getOptimizer(self) -> Optimizer:
        return self.optimizer
    def setValue(self, value: Optional[Tensor]) -> None:
        self._value = value

11. If there are multiple constructors for a class, define them as constructor1, constructor2, ..., then from the original constructor call these methods.

    def constructor1(self):
        self.__values = []
        self.__size = 0

    def constructor2(self, values: list):
        self.__values = values.copy()
        self.__size = len(values)

    def __init__(self,
                 valuesOrSize=None,
                 initial=None):
        if valuesOrSize is None:
            self.constructor1()
        elif isinstance(valuesOrSize, list):
            self.constructor2(valuesOrSize)

12. Extend test classes from unittest and use separate unit test methods.

class TensorTest(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_inferred_shape(self):
        a = Tensor([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]])
        self.assertEqual((2, 2), a.getShape())

    def test_shape(self):
        a = Tensor([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
        self.assertEqual((3, ), a.getShape())

13. Enumerated types should be used when necessary as enum classes.

class AttributeType(Enum):
    """
    Continuous Attribute
    """
    CONTINUOUS = auto()
    """
    Discrete Attribute
    """
    DISCRETE = auto()
