1. Instantiate model class

2. Define clock metadata

3. Download clock dependencies

4. Load features

5. Load weights into base model

6. Load reference values

7. Load preprocess and postprocess objects

8. Check all clock parameters

9. Basic test

10. Save torch model

11. Clear directory

Let’s first import some packages:

import os
import inspect
import shutil
import json
import torch
import pandas as pd
import pyaging as pya

Instantiate model class

def print_entire_class(cls):
    source = inspect.getsource(cls)
    print(source)

print_entire_class(pya.models.DNAmIC)

class DNAmIC(pyagingModel):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def preprocess(self, x):
        return x

    def postprocess(self, x):
        return x

model = pya.models.DNAmIC()

Define clock metadata

model.metadata["clock_name"] = 'dnamic'
model.metadata["data_type"] = 'methylation'
model.metadata["species"] = 'Homo sapiens'
model.metadata["year"] = 2025
model.metadata["approved_by_author"] = '⌛'
model.metadata["citation"] = "Fuentealba, M., Rouch, L., Guyonnet, S. et al. A blood-based epigenetic clock for intrinsic capacity predicts mortality and is associated with clinical, immunological and lifestyle factors. Nat Aging (2025)."
model.metadata["doi"] = 'https://doi.org/10.1038/s43587-025-00883-5'
model.metadata["research_only"] = None
model.metadata["notes"] = None

Download clock dependencies

Download directly with curl

supplementary_url = "https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs43587-025-00883-5/MediaObjects/43587_2025_883_MOESM2_ESM.xlsx"
supplementary_file_name = "coefficients.xlsx"
os.system(f"curl -o {supplementary_file_name} {supplementary_url}")

Load features

From Excel file

df = pd.read_excel('coefficients.xlsx', skiprows=1)
model.features = df['feature'][1:].tolist()

Load weights into base model

weights = torch.tensor(df['coefficient'][1:].tolist()).unsqueeze(0).float()
intercept = torch.tensor([df['coefficient'][0]]).float()

Linear model

base_model = pya.models.LinearModel(input_dim=len(model.features))

base_model.linear.weight.data = weights.float()
base_model.linear.bias.data = intercept.float()

model.base_model = base_model

Load reference values

model.reference_values = None

Load preprocess and postprocess objects

model.preprocess_name = None
model.preprocess_dependencies = None

model.postprocess_name = None
model.postprocess_dependencies = None

Check all clock parameters

pya.utils.print_model_details(model)
