SynDX

Overview

Synthetic validation and explainability evidence package for dizziness-focused clinical decision support experiments.

This repository is part of an eight-repository clinical decision-support research portfolio. Current status: manuscript or component package in preparation. The repository role is manuscript.

Loading

Core Logic

• Build archetype and synthetic cohorts.
• Evaluate diagnostic and privacy behavior.
• Compute SHAP, NMF, and counterfactual evidence.
• Export focused validation figures.

Key Formulas And Rules

• Utility gap: Delta = metric_synthetic - metric_archetype
• XAI fidelity: F = mean(corr(SHAP_real, SHAP_synth), rank_agreement, top_k_overlap)
• Counterfactual quality: Q = g(sparsity, plausibility, diversity, proximity)

Data, Results, Charts, And Graphs

The curated visual set is controlled by FIGURE_MANIFEST.csv and currently lists 3 figure entries. The manifest links figure IDs, roles, source scripts, source data, captions, sections, timestamps, and export DPI.

Reproduce

cd D:\PhD-NU\Manuscript\GitHub\SynDX
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -e .
python -m pytest -q

If figure-generation scripts are present, run the matching script listed in FIGURE_MANIFEST.csv from the repository root.

Verification Criteria

• Root metadata and package files are present.
• Source paths follow src/<package>/... where the package shape allows it.
• Tests pass with python -m pytest -q.
• Curated figures are listed in FIGURE_MANIFEST.csv rather than inferred from every raw image file.
• Manuscript status wording stays conservative: in preparation, implementation, supplementary, or reproducibility/component evidence as appropriate.
• No local manuscript path, external assistant wording, or software metadata block is kept in the repository text.
