flexcv-earth

This is a additional package for the python package flexcv. flexcv-earth provides a wrapper class to use Earth model regression in python without the need to install pyearth. Instead, flexcv-earth uses the rpy2 package to call the earth function from the earth package in R.

Installation

Make sure to have Python 3.10 or 3.11 installed. Also, you will need to install R

pip install flexcv_earth @ git+https://github.com/radlfabs/flexcv-earth

Additional dependencies of rpy2

The model class for the EarthRegressor is actually wrapping around rpy2 code and is using embedded R under the hood. Therefore, you should have a recent R version installed and run our install_rpackages.py script. From the command line change your directory to your flexcv-earth installation directory. This can be your folder that you created with venv. Run our python script that installs the remaining R dependencies.

cd path/to/flexcv-earth/
python -m install_rpackages

Now you have installed everything you need to use the EarthRegressorwith flexcv-earth.
