nilearn.maskers.BaseMasker#

class nilearn.maskers.BaseMasker[source]#

Base class for NiftiMaskers.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)#
abstract transform_single_imgs(imgs, confounds=None, sample_mask=None, copy=True)[source]#

Extract signals from a single 4D niimg.

Parameters:
imgs3D/4D Niimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Images to process. If a 3D niimg is provided, a singleton dimension will be added to the output to represent the single scan in the niimg.

confoundsCSV file or array-like, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details. shape: (number of scans, number of confounds)

sample_maskAny type compatible with numpy-array indexing, optional

shape: (number of scans - number of volumes removed, ) Masks the niimgs along time/fourth dimension to perform scrubbing (remove volumes with high motion) and/or non-steady-state volumes. This parameter is passed to signal.clean.

New in version 0.8.0.

copyBoolean, default=True

Indicates whether a copy is returned or not.

Returns:
region_signals2D numpy.ndarray

Signal for each element. shape: (number of scans, number of elements)

Warns:
DeprecationWarning

If a 3D niimg input is provided, the current behavior (adding a singleton dimension to produce a 2D array) is deprecated. Starting in version 0.12, a 1D array will be returned for 3D inputs.

transform(imgs, confounds=None, sample_mask=None)[source]#

Apply mask, spatial and temporal preprocessing.

Parameters:
imgs3D/4D Niimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Images to process. If a 3D niimg is provided, a singleton dimension will be added to the output to represent the single scan in the niimg.

confoundsCSV file or array-like, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details. shape: (number of scans, number of confounds)

sample_maskAny type compatible with numpy-array indexing, optional

shape: (number of scans - number of volumes removed, ) Masks the niimgs along time/fourth dimension to perform scrubbing (remove volumes with high motion) and/or non-steady-state volumes. This parameter is passed to signal.clean.

New in version 0.8.0.

Returns:
region_signals2D numpy.ndarray

Signal for each element. shape: (number of scans, number of elements)

Warns:
DeprecationWarning

If a 3D niimg input is provided, the current behavior (adding a singleton dimension to produce a 2D array) is deprecated. Starting in version 0.12, a 1D array will be returned for 3D inputs.

fit_transform(X, y=None, confounds=None, sample_mask=None, **fit_params)[source]#

Fit to data, then transform it.

Parameters:
XNiimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation.

ynumpy array of shape [n_samples], optional

Target values.

confoundslist of confounds, optional

List of confounds (2D arrays or filenames pointing to CSV files). Must be of same length than imgs_list.

sample_masklist of sample_mask, optional

List of sample_mask (1D arrays) if scrubbing motion outliers. Must be of same length than imgs_list.

New in version 0.8.0.

Returns:
X_newnumpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features_new]

Transformed array.

inverse_transform(X)[source]#

Transform the 2D data matrix back to an image in brain space.

This step only performs spatial unmasking, without inverting any additional processing performed by transform, such as temporal filtering or smoothing.

Parameters:
X1D/2D numpy.ndarray

Signal for each element in the mask. If a 1D array is provided, then the shape should be (number of elements,), and a 3D img will be returned. If a 2D array is provided, then the shape should be (number of scans, number of elements), and a 4D img will be returned. See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation.

Returns:
imgTransformed image in brain space.
get_metadata_routing()#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:
routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

set_output(*, transform=None)#

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:
transform{“default”, “pandas”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

  • “default”: Default output format of a transformer

  • “pandas”: DataFrame output

  • “polars”: Polars output

  • None: Transform configuration is unchanged

New in version 1.4: “polars” option was added.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_params(**params)#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_transform_request(*, confounds='$UNCHANGED$', imgs='$UNCHANGED$', sample_mask='$UNCHANGED$')#

Request metadata passed to the transform method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to transform if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

  • False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to transform.

  • None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

  • str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

New in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
confoundsstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for confounds parameter in transform.

imgsstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for imgs parameter in transform.

sample_maskstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for sample_mask parameter in transform.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.
