# Command-Line Interface

You can preprocess, train and use models, and perform harmonization using the command-line interface.


## MRIdataset Class

The `MRIdataset` class in `cvasl.dataset` is designed to load and preprocess MRI datasets for harmonization and analysis. It supports loading data from CSV files, preprocessing steps like feature dropping, categorical encoding, and adding derived features (ICV, decade).

**MRIdataset Initialization Parameters:**

*   `path` (str or list): Path to the CSV file or a list of paths for datasets spanning multiple files (e.g., for datasets like Site0 which might be spread across 'TOP_input.csv' and 'StrokeMRI_input.csv').
*   `site_id` (int or str): Identifier for the data acquisition site. This is crucial for harmonization to distinguish between datasets from different sites.
*   `patient_identifier` (str, optional): Column name that uniquely identifies each patient. Defaults to `"participant_id"`.
*   `features_to_drop` (list, optional): List of feature names (columns) to be dropped from the dataset during preprocessing. Defaults to `["m0", "id"]`.
*   `cat_features_to_encode` (list, optional): List of categorical feature names to be encoded into numerical representations. This is important for harmonizers and models that require numerical input. Defaults to `None`.
*   `ICV` (bool, optional): If `True`, adds Intracranial Volume (ICV) related features, assuming 'gm\_vol' and 'gm\_icvratio' columns are available. Defaults to `False`.
*   `decade` (bool, optional): If `True`, adds a 'decade' feature derived from the 'age' column. Defaults to `False`.
*   `features_to_bin` (list, optional): List of features to be binned. Defaults to `None`.
*   `binning_method` (str, optional): Method for binning, either `"equal_width"` or `"equal_frequency"`. Defaults to `"equal_width"`.
*   `num_bins` (int, optional): Number of bins to create for binning. Defaults to `10`.
*   `bin_labels` (list, optional): Custom labels for the bins. Defaults to `None`.

Example of creating `MRIdataset` objects in `runharmonize.py`:

```python
Site0_path = ['../data/Site001_input.csv','../data/Site002_input.csv']
Site1_path = '../data/Site1_input.csv'
Site2_path = '../data/Site2_input.csv'
Site3_path = '../data/Site3_input.csv'
Site4_path = '../data/Site4_input.csv'

features_to_drop = ["m0", "id"]
features_to_map = ['readout', 'labelling', 'sex']
patient_identifier = 'participant_id'

Site0 = MRIdataset(Site0_path, site_id=3, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)
Site1 = MRIdataset(Site1_path, site_id=0, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)
Site2 = MRIdataset(Site2_path, site_id=1, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)
Site3 = MRIdataset(Site3_path, site_id=2, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)
Site4 = MRIdataset(Site4_path, site_id=4, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)

datasets = [Site0, Site1, Site2, Site3, Site4]
[_d.preprocess() for _d in datasets] # Preprocess all datasets
datasets = encode_cat_features(datasets,features_to_map) # Encode categorical features across datasets
```

## Harmonization Methods

The `cvasl.harmonizers` module provides several harmonization techniques to reduce site-specific variance in MRI data. Below is a guide to the available harmonizers and how to run them via the command-line interface using `harmonizer_cli.py`.

### Running Harmonization via CLI

To run harmonization, use the `harmonizer_cli.py` script with the following general command structure:

```bash
python harmonizer_cli.py --dataset_paths <dataset_paths> --site_ids <site_ids> --method <harmonization_method> [harmonizer_specific_options] [dataset_options]
```

*   `--dataset_paths`: Comma-separated paths to your dataset CSV files. For datasets with multiple input paths (like Site0), use semicolons to separate paths within a dataset entry, and commas to separate different datasets (e.g., `path1,path2,"path3;path4",path5`).
*   `--site_ids`: Comma-separated site IDs corresponding to each dataset path provided in `--dataset_paths`.
*   `--method`: The name of the harmonization method to be used. Available methods are: `neuroharmonize`, `covbat`, `neurocombat`, `nestedcombat`, `comscanneuroharmonize`, `autocombat`, `relief`, `combat++`.
*   `[harmonizer_specific_options]`: Placeholders for parameters specific to each harmonization method. These are detailed below for each harmonizer.
*   `[dataset_options]`: Options related to dataset loading and preprocessing, such as `--patient_identifier`, `--features_to_drop`, `--features_to_map`, `--decade`, and `--icv`. These options are common across all harmonizers.

### Important Notes

*   **Adjust Paths:** Ensure that you replace placeholder paths (e.g., `../data/Site1_input.csv`) with the actual paths to your data files.
*   **Parameter Tuning:** The provided commands use example parameters. You may need to adjust harmonization parameters (features to harmonize, covariates, etc.) based on your dataset and harmonization goals. Consult the documentation or code comments for each harmonizer to understand specific parameter options.
*   **R Requirement:** Methods like `RELIEF` and `Combat++` require R to be installed and accessible in your environment, along with the necessary R packages (`denoiseR`, `RcppCNPy`, `matrixStats`).
*   **Output Files:** Harmonized datasets will be saved as new CSV files in the same directory as your input datasets, with filenames appended with `output_<harmonization_method>`.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively utilize the harmonization functionalities within `cvasl` to process your MRI datasets and mitigate site-related biases.

## Harmonization Guide

This section provides a guide on using the `cvasl` library for MRI data harmonization. It covers the `MRIdataset` class for data loading and preprocessing, and various harmonization methods available in the `cvasl.harmonizers` module.

### MRIdataset Class

The `MRIdataset` class in `cvasl.dataset` is designed to handle MRI datasets from different sites, preparing them for harmonization and analysis.

**Initialization Parameters:**

*   `path` (str or list): Path to the CSV file or a list of paths. For multiple paths, use a list of strings.
*   `site_id` (int or str): Identifier for the data acquisition site.
*   `patient_identifier` (str, optional): Column name for patient IDs. Defaults to `"participant_id"`.
*   `cat_features_to_encode` (list, optional): List of categorical features to encode. Defaults to `None`.
*   `ICV` (bool, optional): Whether to add Intracranial Volume (ICV) related features. Defaults to `False`.
*   `decade` (bool, optional): Whether to add decade-related features based on age. Defaults to `False`.
*   `features_to_drop` (list, optional): List of features to drop during preprocessing. Defaults to `["m0", "id"]`.
*   `features_to_bin` (list, optional): List of features to bin. Defaults to `None`.
*   `binning_method` (str, optional): Binning method to use; `"equal_width"` or `"equal_frequency"`. Defaults to `"equal_width"`.
*   `num_bins` (int, optional): Number of bins for binning. Defaults to `10`.
*   `bin_labels` (list, optional): Labels for bins. Defaults to `None`.

**Usage Example:**

```python
from cvasl.dataset import MRIdataset

Site1 = MRIdataset(path='../data/Site1_input.csv', site_id=0, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=["m0", "id"])
Site2 = MRIdataset(path='../data/Site2_input.csv', site_id=1, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=["m0", "id"])
Site0 = MRIdataset(path=['../data/Site001_input.csv','../data/Site002_input.csv'], site_id=3, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=["m0", "id"])
```

**Preprocessing:**

After initializing `MRIdataset` objects, you can preprocess them using the `preprocess()` method:

```python
datasets = [Site1, Site2, Site0] # Example list of MRIdataset objects
[_d.preprocess() for _d in datasets]
```

**Categorical Feature Encoding:**

For categorical feature encoding across datasets, use the `encode_cat_features` function:

```python
from cvasl.dataset import encode_cat_features

features_to_map = ['readout', 'labelling', 'sex']
datasets = encode_cat_features(datasets, features_to_map)
```

### Harmonization Methods

The `cvasl.harmonizers` module provides several state-of-the-art harmonization methods. Below is a guide to each method and how to run them using the command-line interface (CLI).

**Running Harmonization via CLI:**

The `harmonizer_cli.py` script in `cvasl` allows you to run various harmonization methods from the command line. You need to specify the dataset paths, site IDs, harmonization method, and method-specific parameters.

**General CLI Usage:**

```bash
python harmonizer_cli.py --dataset_paths <dataset_path1>,<dataset_path2>,... --site_ids <site_id1>,<site_id2>,... --method <harmonization_method> [method_specific_options]
```

Many functions relate to arterial spin labeled sequences.\n\n\n\nThis library\nsupports the ongoing research at University of Amsterdam Medical Center on brain ageing, but\nis being buit for the entire community of radiology researchers across all university and academic medical centers and beyond.\n\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the Apache-2.0 License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n\n## Citation\n\nIf you use this software in your research, please cite it. You can find the citation information by clicking the \"Cite this repository\" button in the sidebar on the right.\n\n```bibtex\n@software{Amiri_cvasl_2025,\nauthor = {Amiri, Saba and Kok, Peter and Moore, Candace Makeda and Crocioni, Giulia and Dijsselhof, Mathijs and Mutsaerts, Henk JMM and Petr, Jan and Bodor, Dani},\nlicense = {Apache-2.0},\nmonth = jul,\ntitle = {{cvasl}},\nurl = {https://github.com/ExploreASL/cvasl},\nversion = {1.1.0},\nyear = {2025}\n}\n```\n\n# Command-Line Interface\n\nYou can preprocess, train and use models, and perform harmonization using the command-line interface.\n\n\n## MRIdataset Class\n\nThe `MRIdataset` class in `cvasl.dataset` is designed to load and preprocess MRI datasets for harmonization and analysis. It supports loading data from CSV files, preprocessing steps like feature dropping, categorical encoding, and adding derived features (ICV, decade).\n\n**MRIdataset Initialization Parameters:**\n\n*   `path` (str or list): Path to the CSV file or a list of paths for datasets spanning multiple files (e.g., for datasets like Site0 which might be spread across 'TOP_input.csv' and 'StrokeMRI_input.csv').\n*   `site_id` (int or str): Identifier for the data acquisition site. This is crucial for harmonization to distinguish between datasets from different sites.\n*   `patient_identifier` (str, optional): Column name that uniquely identifies each patient. Defaults to `\"participant_id\"`.\n*   `features_to_drop` (list, optional): List of feature names (columns) to be dropped from the dataset during preprocessing. Defaults to `[\"m0\", \"id\"]`.\n*   `cat_features_to_encode` (list, optional): List of categorical feature names to be encoded into numerical representations. This is important for harmonizers and models that require numerical input. Defaults to `None`.\n*   `ICV` (bool, optional): If `True`, adds Intracranial Volume (ICV) related features, assuming 'gm\\_vol' and 'gm\\_icvratio' columns are available. Defaults to `False`.\n*   `decade` (bool, optional): If `True`, adds a 'decade' feature derived from the 'age' column. Defaults to `False`.\n*   `features_to_bin` (list, optional): List of features to be binned. Defaults to `None`.\n*   `binning_method` (str, optional): Method for binning, either `\"equal_width\"` or `\"equal_frequency\"`. Defaults to `\"equal_width\"`.\n*   `num_bins` (int, optional): Number of bins to create for binning. Defaults to `10`.\n*   `bin_labels` (list, optional): Custom labels for the bins. Defaults to `None`.\n\nExample of creating `MRIdataset` objects in `runharmonize.py`:\n\n```python\nSite0_path = ['../data/Site001_input.csv','../data/Site002_input.csv']\nSite1_path = '../data/Site1_input.csv'\nSite2_path = '../data/Site2_input.csv'\nSite3_path = '../data/Site3_input.csv'\nSite4_path = '../data/Site4_input.csv'\n\nfeatures_to_drop = [\"m0\", \"id\"]\nfeatures_to_map = ['readout', 'labelling', 'sex']\npatient_identifier = 'participant_id'\n\nSite0 = MRIdataset(Site0_path, site_id=3, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)\nSite1 = MRIdataset(Site1_path, site_id=0, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)\nSite2 = MRIdataset(Site2_path, site_id=1, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)\nSite3 = MRIdataset(Site3_path, site_id=2, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)\nSite4 = MRIdataset(Site4_path, site_id=4, decade=True, ICV = True, patient_identifier=patient_identifier, features_to_drop=features_to_drop)\n\ndatasets = [Site0, Site1, Site2, Site3, Site4]\n[_d.preprocess() for _d in datasets] # Preprocess all datasets\ndatasets = encode_cat_features(datasets,features_to_map) # Encode categorical features across datasets\n```\n\n## Harmonization Methods\n\nThe `cvasl.harmonizers` module provides several harmonization techniques to reduce site-specific variance in MRI data. Below is a guide to the available harmonizers and how to run them via the command-line interface using `harmonizer_cli.py`.\n\n### Running Harmonization via CLI\n\nTo run harmonization, use the `harmonizer_cli.py` script with the following general command structure:\n\n```bash\npython harmonizer_cli.py --dataset_paths <dataset_paths> --site_ids <site_ids> --method <harmonization_method> [harmonizer_specific_options] [dataset_options]\n```\n\n*   `--dataset_paths`: Comma-separated paths to your dataset CSV files. For datasets with multiple input paths (like Site0), use semicolons to separate paths within a dataset entry, and commas to separate different datasets (e.g., `path1,path2,\"path3;path4\",path5`).\n*   `--site_ids`: Comma-separated site IDs corresponding to each dataset path provided in `--dataset_paths`.\n*   `--method`: The name of the harmonization method to be used. Available methods are: `neuroharmonize`, `covbat`, `neurocombat`, `nestedcombat`, `comscanneuroharmonize`, `autocombat`, `relief`, `combat++`.\n*   `[harmonizer_specific_options]`: Placeholders for parameters specific to each harmonization method. These are detailed below for each harmonizer.\n*   `[dataset_options]`: Options related to dataset loading and preprocessing, such as `--patient_identifier`, `--features_to_drop`, `--features_to_map`, `--decade`, and `--icv`. These options are common across all harmonizers.\n\n### Harmonization Methods and Example Commands\n\nBelow are example commands for each harmonization method.

You may need to adjust harmonization parameters (features to harmonize, covariates, etc.) based on your dataset and harmonization goals. Consult the documentation or code comments for each harmonizer to understand specific parameter options.\n*   **R Requirement:** Methods like `RELIEF` and `Combat++` require R to be installed and accessible in your environment, along with the necessary R packages (`denoiseR`, `RcppCNPy`, `matrixStats`).\n*   **Output Files:** Harmonized datasets will be saved as new CSV files in the same directory as your input datasets, with filenames appended with `output_<harmonization_method>`.\n\nBy following these guidelines, you can effectively utilize the harmonization functionalities within `cvasl` to process your MRI datasets and mitigate site-related biases.\n\n## Harmonization Guide\n\nThis section provides a guide on using the `cvasl` library for MRI data harmonization. It covers the `MRIdataset` class for data loading and preprocessing, and various harmonization methods available in the `cvasl.harmonizers` module.\n\n### MRIdataset Class\n\nThe `MRIdataset` class in `cvasl.dataset` is designed to handle MRI datasets from different sites, preparing them for harmonization and analysis.\n\n**Initialization Parameters:**\n\n*   `path` (str or list): Path to the CSV file or a list of paths. For multiple paths, use a list of strings.\n*   `site_id` (int or str): Identifier for the data acquisition site.\n*   `patient_identifier` (str, optional): Column name for patient IDs. Defaults to `\"participant_id\"`.\n*   `cat_features_to_encode` (list, optional): List of categorical features to encode. Defaults to `None`.\n*   `ICV` (bool, optional): Whether to add Intracranial Volume (ICV) related features. Defaults to `False`.\n*   `decade` (bool, optional): Whether to add decade-related features based on age. Defaults to `False`.\n*   `features_to_drop` (list, optional): List of features to drop during preprocessing. Defaults to `[\"m0\", \"id\"]`.\n*   `features_to_bin` (list, optional): List of features to bin. Defaults to `None`.\n*   `binning_method` (str, optional): Binning method to use; `\"equal_width\"` or `\"equal_frequency\"`. Defaults to `\"equal_width\"`.\n*   `num_bins` (int, optional): Number of bins for binning. Defaults to `10`.\n*   `bin_labels` (list, optional): Labels for bins. Defaults to `None`.\n\n**Usage Example:**\n\n```python\nfrom cvasl.dataset import MRIdataset\n\nSite1 = MRIdataset(path='../data/Site1_input.csv', site_id=0, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=[\"m0\", \"id\"])\nSite2 = MRIdataset(path='../data/Site2_input.csv', site_id=1, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=[\"m0\", \"id\"])\nSite0 = MRIdataset(path=['../data/Site001_input.csv','../data/Site002_input.csv'], site_id=3, decade=True, ICV=True, patient_identifier='participant_id', features_to_drop=[\"m0\", \"id\"])\n```\n\n**Preprocessing:**\n\nAfter initializing `MRIdataset` objects, you can preprocess them using the `preprocess()` method:\n\n```python\ndatasets = [Site1, Site2, Site0] # Example list of MRIdataset objects\n[_d.preprocess() for _d in datasets]\n```\n\n**Categorical Feature Encoding:**\n\nFor categorical feature encoding across datasets, use the `encode_cat_features` function:\n\n```python\nfrom cvasl.dataset import encode_cat_features\n\nfeatures_to_map = ['readout', 'labelling', 'sex']\ndatasets = encode_cat_features(datasets, features_to_map)\n```\n\n### Harmonization Methods\n\nThe `cvasl.harmonizers` module provides several state-of-the-art harmonization methods. Below is a guide to each method and how to run them using the command-line interface (CLI).\n\n**Running Harmonization via CLI:**\n\nThe `harmonizer_cli.py` script in `cvasl` allows you to run various harmonization methods from the command line. You need to specify the dataset paths, site IDs, harmonization method, and method-specific parameters.\n\n**General CLI Usage:**\n\n```bash\npython harmonizer_cli.py --dataset_paths <dataset_path1>,<dataset_path2>,... --site_ids <site_id1>,<site_id2>,... --method <harmonization_method> [method_specific_options]\n```\n\n**Available Harmonization Methods and CLI Commands:**\n\n1.

You may reproduce and distribute copies of the\n              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without\n              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You\n              meet the following conditions:\n        \n              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or\n                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and\n        \n              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices\n                  stating that You changed the files; and\n        \n              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works\n                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and\n                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,\n                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of\n                  the Derivative Works; and\n        \n              (d) If the Work includes a \"NOTICE\" text file as part of its\n                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must\n                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained\n                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not\n                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one\n                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed\n                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or\n                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,\n                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and\n                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents\n                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and\n                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution\n                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside\n                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided\n                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed\n                  as modifying the License.\n        \n              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and\n              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions\n              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or\n              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,\n              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with\n              the conditions stated in this License.\n        \n           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,\n              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work\n              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of\n              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.\n              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify\n              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed\n              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.\n        \n           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade\n              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,\n              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the\n              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.\n        \n           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or\n              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each\n              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an \"AS IS\" BASIS,\n              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or\n              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions\n              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A\n              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the\n              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any\n              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.\n        \n           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,\n              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,\n              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly\n              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be\n              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,\n              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a\n              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the\n              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,\n              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all\n              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor\n              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.\n        \n           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing\n              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,\n              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,\n              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this\n              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only\n              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf\n              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,\n              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability\n              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason\n              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.\n        \n           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS\n        \n           APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.\n        \n              To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following\n              boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets \"[]\"\n              replaced with your own identifying information.
