PyDAAL utilities functions

Hi all!

In accordance with the documentation from https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-distribution-for-python/topic/630400

I try to use example for outlier detection: outlier_detection_univariate_bath.py, with Intel Python Distribution (Python 3.5).

I was faced with the next issue: in many examples I see using utils functions. For example:

from utils import printNumericTable
from utils import printArray
from utils import printNumericTable, createSparseTable

But I can't find any reference to these functions in my Python distributive.

Could anybody to provide any guidence or links for this utils function in Python please?

Hi Oleg,

Hi Oleg,

The functions you mention are auxiliary functions for Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library examples.

You can check the contents of the service.h file in C++ documentation and you will see that all these functions are included in this C++ header file that declares the auxiliary functions for Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library examples.

So, these functions you mention belong to Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library examples.

Thanks, Gastón

Thanks, Gastón

I understand, that it's auxilary functions. But in documentation for Intel Python it's functions is not available.

At now I have no insight, how to use, e.g. algorithm's result (being C++ shared pointers) in Python.

I'll be very pleasure, if anybody provide simple example.

Thanks, Oleg

Hi Oleg,

you can find the auxiliary functions in the DAAL reference guide as

<root>/daal_dev_guide_ref/daal_ur_guides/daal_python_api/__init___8py-example.htm

The examples assume to find this file as “../utils/__init__.py".

See also https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-distribution-for-python/topic/630400 for getting to the reference guide.
