# Saving models¶

To save samples of the Macau model you can add save_prefix = "mymodel" when calling macau. This option will store all samples of the latent vectors, their mean vectors and link matrices to the disk. Additionally, the global mean-value that Macau adds to all predictions is also stored.

## Example¶

import macau
import scipy.io

## running factorization (Macau)
result = macau.macau(Y = ic50,
Ytest      = 0.2,
side       = [ecfp, None],
num_latent = 32,
precision  = 5.0,
burnin     = 100,
nsamples   = 500,
save_prefix = "chembl19")


## Saved files¶

The saved files for sample N for the rows are

• Latent vectors chembl19-sampleN-U1-latents.csv.
• Latent means: chembl19-sampleN-U1-latentmeans.csv.
• Link matrix (beta): chembl19-sampleN-U1-link.csv.
• Global mean value: chembl19-meanvalue.csv (same for all samples).

Equivalent files for the column latents are stored in U2 files.

## Using the saved model to make predictions¶

These files can be loaded with numpy and used to make predictions.

import numpy as np

## global mean value (common for all samples)

N = 1
U = np.loadtxt("chembl19-sample%d-U1-latents.csv" % N, delimiter=",")
V = np.loadtxt("chembl19-sample%d-U2-latents.csv" % N, delimiter=",")

## predicting Y[0, 7] from sample 1
Yhat_07 = U[:,0].dot(V[:,7]) + meanvalue

## predict the whole matrix from sample 1
Yhat = U.transpose().dot(V) + meanvalue


Note that in Macau the final prediction is the average of the predictions from all samples. This can be accomplished by looping over all of the samples and averaging the predictions.

### Using the saved model to predict new rows (compounds)¶

Here we show an example how to make a new prediction for a compound (row) that was not in the dataset, by using its side information and saved link matrices.

import numpy as np
import scipy.io

## loading side info for arbitrary compound (can be outside of the training set)
