Notes
The script works with Python 3 (3.8), matplotlib (3.3.4), numpy (1.20.1), pandas (1.2.2), scikit-learn (0.24.1), and openpyxl (3.0.6).
The approach was first described in Senges CHR, Stepanek JJ, Wenzel M, Raatschen N, Ay Ü, Märtens Y, Prochnow P, Vázquez Hernández M, Yayci A, Schubert B, Janzing NBM, Warmuth HL, Kozik M, Bongard J, Alumasa JN, Albada B, Penkova M, Lukežič T, Sorto NA, Lorenz N, Miller RG, Zhu B, Benda M, Stülke J, Schäkermann S, Leichert LI, Scheinpflug K, Brötz-Oesterhelt H, Hertweck C, Shaw JT, Petković H, Brunel JM, Keiler KC, Metzler-Nolte N, Bandow JE. 2021.
