pyhealth.datasets.BaseDataset#

This is the basic base dataset class. Any specific datasets will inherit from this class.

class pyhealth.datasets.BaseDataset(root, tables, dataset_name=None, config_path=None, cache_dir=None, num_workers=1, dev=False)[source]#

Bases: ABC

Abstract base class for all PyHealth datasets.

root#

The root directory where dataset files are stored.

Type:

Path

tables#

List of table names to load.

Type:

List[str]

dataset_name#

Name of the dataset.

Type:

str

config#

Configuration loaded from a YAML file.

Type:

dict

global_event_df#

The global event data frame.

Type:

pl.LazyFrame

dev#

Whether to enable dev mode (limit to 1000 patients).

Type:

bool

create_tmpdir()[source]#

Creates and returns a new temporary directory within the cache.

Returns:

The path to the new temporary directory.

Return type:

Path

clean_tmpdir()[source]#

Cleans up the temporary directory within the cache.

Return type:

None

property global_event_df: LazyFrame#

Returns the path to the cached event dataframe.

Returns:

The path to the cached event dataframe.

Return type:

Path

load_data()[source]#

Loads data from the specified tables.

Returns:

A concatenated lazy frame of all tables.

Return type:

dd.DataFrame

load_table(table_name)[source]#

Loads a table and processes joins if specified.

Parameters:

table_name (str) – The name of the table to load.

Returns:

The processed Dask dataframe for the table.

Return type:

dd.DataFrame

Raises:
property unique_patient_ids: List[str]#

Returns a list of unique patient IDs.

Returns:

List of unique patient IDs.

Return type:

List[str]

get_patient(patient_id)[source]#

Retrieves a Patient object for the given patient ID.

Parameters:

patient_id (str) – The ID of the patient to retrieve.

Returns:

The Patient object for the given ID.

Return type:

Patient

Raises:

AssertionError – If the patient ID is not found in the dataset.

iter_patients(df=None)[source]#

Yields Patient objects for each unique patient in the dataset.

Yields:

Iterator[Patient] – An iterator over Patient objects.

Return type:

Iterator[Patient]

stats()[source]#

Prints statistics about the dataset.

Return type:

None

property default_task: Optional[BaseTask]#

Returns the default task for the dataset.

Returns:

The default task, if any.

Return type:

Optional[BaseTask]

set_task(task=None, num_workers=None, input_processors=None, output_processors=None)[source]#

Processes the base dataset to generate the task-specific sample dataset. The cache structure is as follows:

{task_name}_{task_uuid}/        # Cached data for specific task based on task name, schema, and args
    task_df.ld/                 # Intermediate task dataframe based on schema
    samples_{proc_uuid}.ld/     # Final processed samples after applying processors
        schema.pkl              # Saved SampleBuilder schema
        *.bin                   # Processed sample files
Parameters:
  • task (Optional[BaseTask]) – The task to set. Uses default task if None.

  • num_workers (int) – Number of workers for multi-threading. Default is self.num_workers.

  • input_processors (Optional[Dict[str, FeatureProcessor]]) – Pre-fitted input processors. If provided, these will be used instead of creating new ones from task’s input_schema. Defaults to None.

  • output_processors (Optional[Dict[str, FeatureProcessor]]) – Pre-fitted output processors. If provided, these will be used instead of creating new ones from task’s output_schema. Defaults to None.

Returns:

The generated sample dataset.

Return type:

SampleDataset

Raises:

AssertionError – If no default task is found and task is None.
