        ## What is it
        
        **feature_stuff** is a Python package providing fast and flexible algorithms and functions
        for extracting, processing and interpreting features:
        
        **Numeric feature extraction**
        <table>
        <tr>
          <td>add_interactions</td>
          <td>
            generic function for adding interaction features to a data frame either by passing them as a list or
                by passing a boosted trees model to extract the interactions from.
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>target_encoding</td>
          <td>
        		target encoding of a feature column using exponential prior smoothing or mean prior smoothing
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>cv_target_encoding</td>
          <td>
            target encoding of a feature column taking cross-validation folds as input
        </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>add_knn_values</td>
          <td>
            creates a new feature with the K-nearest-neighbours of the values of a given feature
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>add_group_values</td>
          <td>
            generic and memory efficient enrichment of features dataframe with group values
          </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        
        **Model feature insights extraction**
        <table>
        <tr>
          <td>get_xgboost_interactions</td>
          <td>
            takes a trained xgboost model and returns a list of interactions between features, to the order of maximum
                depth of all trees.

        ## Installation
        
        Binary installers for the latest released version are available at the [Python
        package index](https://pypi.org/project/feature-stuff) .
        
        ```sh
        # or PyPI
        pip install feature_stuff
        ```
        
        The source code is currently hosted on GitHub at:
        https://github.com/hiflyin/Feature-Stuff
        
        
        ## Installation from sources
        
        In the `Feature-Stuff` directory (same one where you found this file after
        cloning the git repo), execute:
        
        ```sh
        python setup.py install
        ```
        
        or for installing in [development mode](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install.html#editable-installs):
        
        ```sh
        python setup.py develop
        ```
        
        Alternatively, you can use `pip` if you want all the dependencies pulled
        in automatically (the `-e` option is for installing it in [development
        mode](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install.html#editable-installs)):
        
        ```sh
        pip install -e .
        ```
        
        ## How to use it
        
        < see the attached API of each function/ algorithm >
        
        Example on extracting interactions form tree based models and adding
        them as new features to your dataset.
        
        ```python
        import feature_stuff as fs
        import pandas as pd
        import xgboost as xgb
        
        data = pd.DataFrame({"x0":[0,1,0,1], "x1":range(4), "x2":[1,0,1,0]})
        print data
           x0  x1  x2
        0   0   0   1
        1   1   1   0
        2   0   2   1
        3   1   3   0
        
        target = data.x0 * data.x1 + data.x2*data.x1
        print target.tolist()
        [0, 1, 2, 3]
        
        model = xgb.train({'max_depth': 4, "seed": 123}, xgb.DMatrix(data, label=target), num_boost_round=2)
        fs.addInteractions(data, model)
        
        # at least one of the interactions in target must have been discovered by xgboost
        print data
           x0  x1  x2  inter_0
        0   0   0   1        0
        1   1   1   0        1
        2   0   2   1        0
        3   1   3   0        3
        
        # if we want to inspect the interactions extracted
        from feature_stuff import model_features_insights_extractions as insights
        print insights.get_xgboost_interactions(model)
        [['x0', 'x1']]
        
        ```
