This repository contains all the supplemental files and scripts for the Nature Communications paper 'Predicting and Improving Complex Beer Flavor through Machine Learning'.Init_modeling.py Helper script that contains some functions for model performance evaluation and storage. Jupyter Notebook for training machine learning models.ipynb Jupyter notebook containing the code to train the 10 different machine learning models of the research article, including hyperparameter optimization and model performance evaluation. The 10 models included are: Linear regression Lasso regression Partial least squares regression Random Forest regression Extra-trees regression Adaboosted regression Gradient boosting regression XGBoosting regression Support vector regression Multi-layered perception Machine learning models transcript.py A direct copy of the Jupyter Notebook, as a regular Python script. Main figure generator.Rmd R Markdown file that generates the figures from the paper's main text. Sensory data quality control - ANOVA on repeated samples.Rmd R Markdown file that performs ANOVA on the beer samples that were repeated in multiple sessions with the trained panel. Supplemental Figure generator.Rmd R Markdown file that generates the supplemental figures of the paper. Supplemental Files and Figure source files.xlsx Excel file containing all the supplemental files and tables, and the raw data underlying every figure (main and supplemental) in the manuscript. RateBeer_Appreciation_Gradient_Boost_Regressor.pkl Pickled version of the best-performing model for predicting RateBeer Appreciation from chemical composition (Python version 3.9.16). RateBeer_Full_Model_Gradient_Boost_Regressor.pkl Pickled version of the best-performing model for predicting all RateBeer scores, from beer chemical composition (Python version 3.9.16). SHAP analysis.ipynb Jupyter Notebook that performs SHAP analysis on the models. It also extracts the SHAP values in a CSV file to make a customized SHAP plot in R with the "Main Figure Generator.Rmd" script. Partial Dependence Plots with SHAP.ipynb Jupyter Notebook that generates Partial Dependence Plots of your model for compounds of your choice.
