## eval_run_result
### EvaluationRunResult
Contains the inputs and the outputs of an evaluation pipeline and provides methods to inspect them.
#### __init__
```python
__init__(
run_name: str,
inputs: dict[str, list[Any]],
results: dict[str, dict[str, Any]],
) -> None
```
Initialize a new evaluation run result.
**Parameters:**
- **run_name** (str) – Name of the evaluation run.
- **inputs** (dict\[str, list\[Any\]\]) – Dictionary containing the inputs used for the run. Each key is the name of the input and its value is a list
of input values. The length of the lists should be the same.
- **results** (dict\[str, dict\[str, Any\]\]) – Dictionary containing the results of the evaluators used in the evaluation pipeline. Each key is the name
of the metric and its value is dictionary with the following keys:
- 'score': The aggregated score for the metric.
- 'individual_scores': A list of scores for each input sample.
#### aggregated_report
```python
aggregated_report(
output_format: Literal["json", "csv", "df"] = "json",
csv_file: str | None = None,
) -> Union[dict[str, list[Any]], DataFrame, str]
```
Generates a report with aggregated scores for each metric.
**Parameters:**
- **output_format** (Literal['json', 'csv', 'df']) – The output format for the report, "json", "csv", or "df", default to "json".
- **csv_file** (str | None) – Filepath to save CSV output if `output_format` is "csv", must be provided.
**Returns:**
- Union\[dict\[str, list\[Any\]\], DataFrame, str\] – JSON or DataFrame with aggregated scores, in case the output is set to a CSV file, a message confirming the
successful write or an error message.
#### detailed_report
```python
detailed_report(
output_format: Literal["json", "csv", "df"] = "json",
csv_file: str | None = None,
) -> Union[dict[str, list[Any]], DataFrame, str]
```
Generates a report with detailed scores for each metric.
**Parameters:**
- **output_format** (Literal['json', 'csv', 'df']) – The output format for the report, "json", "csv", or "df", default to "json".
- **csv_file** (str | None) – Filepath to save CSV output if `output_format` is "csv", must be provided.
**Returns:**
- Union\[dict\[str, list\[Any\]\], DataFrame, str\] – JSON or DataFrame with the detailed scores, in case the output is set to a CSV file, a message confirming
the successful write or an error message.
#### comparative_detailed_report
```python
comparative_detailed_report(
other: EvaluationRunResult,
keep_columns: list[str] | None = None,
output_format: Literal["json", "csv", "df"] = "json",
csv_file: str | None = None,
) -> Union[str, DataFrame, None]
```
Generates a report with detailed scores for each metric from two evaluation runs for comparison.
**Parameters:**
- **other** (EvaluationRunResult) – Results of another evaluation run to compare with.
- **keep_columns** (list\[str\] | None) – List of common column names to keep from the inputs of the evaluation runs to compare.
- **output_format** (Literal['json', 'csv', 'df']) – The output format for the report, "json", "csv", or "df", default to "json".
- **csv_file** (str | None) – Filepath to save CSV output if `output_format` is "csv", must be provided.
**Returns:**
- Union\[str, DataFrame, None\] – JSON or DataFrame with a comparison of the detailed scores, in case the output is set to a CSV file,
a message confirming the successful write or an error message.
**Raises:**
- TypeError – If `other` is not an EvaluationRunResult instance, or if the detailed reports are not
dictionaries.
- ValueError – If the `other` parameter is missing required attributes.
