medcat.utils.regression.editing.combine_dicts(base_dict, add_dict, in_place=False, ignore_identicals=True)

Combine two dictionaries that define RegressionCheckers.

The idea is to combine them into one that defines cases from both.

If two cases have identical filters, their phrases are combined.

If an additional case has the same name as one in the base dict, its name is changed before adding it.

Parameters:

• base_dict (dict) – The base dict to which we shall add

• add_dict (dict) – The additional dict

• in_place (bool) – Whether or not to modify the existing (base) dict. Defaults to False.

• ignore_identicals (bool) – Whether to ignore identical cases (otherwise they get duplicated). Defaults to True.

Returns:

dict – The combined dict

Return type:

dict

medcat.utils.regression.editing.combine_contents(base_yaml, add_yaml, ignore_identicals=True)

Combined the contents of two yaml strings that describe RegressionCheckers.

This method simply loads in teh yamls and uses the combine_dicts method.

Parameters:

• base_yaml (str) – The yaml of the base checker

• add_yaml (str) – The yaml of the additional checker

• ignore_identicals (bool) – Whether or not to ignore identical cases. Defaults to True.

Returns:

str – The combined yaml contents

Return type:

str

medcat.utils.regression.editing.combine_yamls(base_file, add_file, new_file=None, ignore_identicals=True)

Combined the contents of two yaml files that describe RegressionCheckers.

This method simply reads the data and uses the combined_contents method.

The results are saved into the new_file (if specified) or to the base_file otherwise.

Parameters:

• base_file (str) – The base file

• add_file (str) – The additional file

• new_file (Optional[str]) – The new file name. Defaults to None.

• ignore_identicals (bool) – Whether or not to ignore identical cases. Defaults to True.

Returns:

str – The new file name

Return type:

str
