Summary of the analysis of the pipeline

Bt running the main.py program, you can find results in the result folder that summary the run.

Files logs_lgbm.txt and res_0.npy give the results of the run.

Importance of the Masks / Features

You will find a file quality_masks.csv which compare the quality of the masks found according different criterions. There is also a study on the independance of the masks between one another in COMPARASION INTRA FEATURES XI 2.csv and with the label inINDEPENACE FEATURES LABELS.csv.
