How to call combat.py with no covariates

[fbrundu]

Hi,
I am trying to use your script passing an expression matrix in dat and a sample information file on batch.. I do not want to pass any covariate, but I do not know how to do it.. how can I achieve this?

Thanks

Hi @FrancescoBrundu I added a change that should allow you to do this. See the last 2 lines of the file for example use.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks for your effort. I am unable to test it now, I will try out ASAP. Thanks

Thanks @brentp .. It works flawlessly. More extensive result:
on a table with this signature

Index: 54675 entries
Columns: 445 entries
dtypes: float64(445)

it gives an error of maximum 0.000652714183843.
I didn't test it further for time but the speed increment is outstanding.
Since I am a Pythoner and I do not like (neither I can program in) R, I will propose myself to test when I can Python version of R script, if you do something more.
May I tell you to do some little changes in the script (anyway if you find them useless you can reject' em)?
Maybe changing combat signature to

def combat(dat, batch, mod=None, numCovs=None)

and changing line 42 to

if mod is not None and mod:  # maybe this one is better but I am not really sure about it

Anyway great work so far, I am looking forward to see new ported versions of R script if you have the time. 👍
Bye

Hi Hi,

I am using Combat to correct the effect of different scanners on radiomics features, and I found python version of Combat here. But I do have an error when running it. My data is in Dataframe (7341,97) and my batch is in Series (97), but I have a ValueError: num_columns must be an int??
does anyone have this error before?

Thanks:)
