 There are some optional parameters, such as the number of CPUs to use for the calculations, the maximum number of pairs for the ensemble model, the name of the label column in the dataset file, etc. By default, the outputs of the code are stored in the current repository, but it can be configured differently with the optional parameter --outdir . The ouput files comprise a txt file with the final pair classifiers for the ensemble model, a pdf file with the roc curve and pdf files visualizing the final pair classifiers.
