Hi Esmeralda,

As per my understanding, you would normally need to utilise a package or tool that allows you to run Python code inside of MATLAB in order to use the “aif360” library in MATLAB. The MATLAB Python Integration is an illustration of such a tool because it enables you to execute Python functions from MATLAB and transfer data between two environments.

However, there can be some limitations to the functionalities. For instance, due to variations between the Python and MATLAB environments, some of the functionality might not be available or might not function as expected.

I hope the above information will be helpful in resolving your query.

Thanks,

Muskan

Hi,

You can make use of MATLAB Python interface to use Python objects directly in MATLAB.

For information about the Interface check here.

For the Interface to work, you need MATLAB compatible python installed in your system. here

Example code (Try this in MATLAB command line):

>> py.aif360.sklearn.preprocessing.Reweighing

ans =

Python Reweighing with properties:

prot_attr: [1×1 py.NoneType]

Reweighing()

Hope it helps.
