sexcheck_chrX_50

Part of TabBioMed (TabBioMed: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Biomedical Tabular Learning), a benchmark of 94 curated biomedical tabular datasets. Code, preprocessing and documentation: https://github.com/AI-sandbox/TabBioMed.

This dataset contains genotypes from chromosome X for a subset of samples from the 1000 Genomes Project and HGDP, along with labels indicating the sex of each sample. For this specific dataset, 50 SNPs where randomly selected from the original sequences. The task is to predict the sex of each sample based on the genotypes. A seed-42, sex-stratified 70/15/15 split assigns the 4,026 individuals to 2,818 training, 604 validation and 604 test rows, using the same individual assignments as sexcheck_chrX_50k. Individual IDs are split metadata, never predictors. X/y are preserved.

Splits. Fixed train/val/test split (2818/604/604 rows).

Files

• data/**.parquet: one row per sample. row_idx is the row index in the original TabBioMed array; f_<i>[_<name>] are the features (in order); target (or target_<j> for multi-target tasks) is the label. Categorical feature indices (0-based, among the features): []. Missing values are stored as nulls.
• metadata.json: TabBioMed task metadata (task type, categorical indices, source, description).
• split_groups.json: groups[row_idx] gives the sample group (e.g. patient, donor or strain) that must stay together in any re-split. Split metadata only, never a feature.
• sample_metadata.csv: per-row provenance (identifiers, source annotations); not features.
