AttributeError of "to_dense" when using 'add_features()'

[Howard]

Hi,

I am following the tutorial of neurosynth, but I meet an error saying AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'to_dense' when running  'dataset.add_features(features.txt)' in Anaconda environment (python 3.8.3). 

After searching online, I found the 'to_dense' function is from pandas module and the error may be the version problem. However, I tried the version 1.0.5 and 1.1.4, and both versions were failed to solve the error.

Is there any other possibility causing this error? 
Thank for any advice in advance.

Best,
Howard

Here is the error:

dataset.add_features('features.txt')

Hi Howard,

I suspect the problem is that you have a newer version of pandas; to_dense() was deprecated at some point. The Neurosynth Python tools are now also deprecated, and are no longer maintained, so this is unlikely to be fixed. I suggest moving to NiMARE, which is actively maintained and under heavy development (https://github.com/neurostuff/NiMARE/).

Best,

Tal

Hi Tal, 

Thank you for your response. I want to conduct feature-based meta-analysis and is happy to try with NiMARE, but I cannot find any tutorial or functions for feature-based meta-analysis in NiMARE. Has this function already built in NiMARE? Please let me know if I miss anything. Thank you again for your great help.

Best, 

Howard
