curve_intersect_interpolate | cls, df: pd.DataFrame, row_index :int, x, var1, var2 | (float, float) |
Fine-tune the intersection point between 2 Pandas dataframe columns, using linear interpolation :param df: A Pandas dataframe with at least 3 columns :param row_index: The index of the Pandas dataframe row with the smallest absolute value of difference in concentrations :param x: The name of the dataframe column with the independent variable :param var1: The name of the dataframe column with the data from the 1st curve :param var2: The name of the dataframe column with the data from the 2nd curve :return: The pair (time of intersection, common value) |

segment_intersect | cls, t, y1, y2 | (float, float) |
Find the intersection of 2 segments in 2D. Their respective endpoints share the same x-coordinates: (t_start, t_end) Note: for an alternate method, see line_intersect() :param t: Pair with the joint x-coordinates of the 2 start points, and the joint x-coordinates of the 2 end points :param y1: Pair with the y_coordinates of the endpoints of the 1st segment :param y2: Pair with the y_coordinates of the endpoints of the 2nd segment Note: either segment - but not both - may be horizontal :return: A pair with the (x,y) coord of the intersection; if the segments don't meet their specs (which might result in the lack of an intersection), an Exception is raised |

line_intersect | cls, p1, p2, q1, q2 | Union[tuple, None] |
Returns the coordinates of the intersection between the line passing thru the points p1 and p2, and the line passing thru the points q1 and q2. Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/42727584/5478830 Note: for an alternate method, see segment_intersect() :param p1: Pair of (x,y) coord of a point on the 1st line :param p2: Pair of (x,y) coord of another point on the 1st line :param q1: Pair of (x,y) coord of a point on the 2nd line :param q2: Pair of (x,y) coord of another point on the 2nd line :return: A pair with the (x,y) coord of the intersection, if it exists; or None if it doesn't exist |

deep_flatten | cls, items | list |
Completely flatten any lists/tuples of lists or tuples into a single list EXAMPLES: [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7], [8,9]] becomes [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] (1,2) becomes [1,2] [(1, 2), (3,4)] becomes [1, 2, 3, 4] 5 becomes [5] "hello" becomes ["hello"] :param items: A list or tuple possibly containing lists or tuples :return: A flat list |

compare_results | cls, res1, res2 | float |
Use a Euclidean distance metric to compare 2 sets of results - typically from 2 runs of different accuracy. Each result value may be a number or a list or tuple, possibly containing lists or tuples, of numbers. However, after the structure is flattened, the 2 result data sets must have the same number of points :param res1: :param res2: :return: The distance between the two sets of value, based on an L2 (Euclidean) metric |
name | arguments | returns |
---|---|---|
compare_vectors | cls, v1: np.array, v2: np.array, metric=None, trim_edges=0 | float |
Return the Euclidean distance between the two given same-sized Numpy arrays (TODO: offer option to use alternate metrics) :param v1: :param v2: :param metric: NOT YET USED: the default L2 norm is always used :param trim_edges: (OPTIONAL) number of elements to ditch at each end, prior to comparing the vectors (default: 0) :return: The distance between the two vectors based on an L2 (Euclidean) metric |
name | arguments | returns |
---|---|---|
compare_states | cls, state1: np.array, state2: np.array, verbose=False | None |
Print out various assessments of how similar two same-sized Numpy arrays are. Typically, those arrays will be system state snapshots - but could be anything. :param state1: :param state2: :param verbose: If True, additional output is shown :return: None |

gradient_order4_1d | cls, arr, dx=1.0, dtype='float' | np.array |
Compute the gradient, from the values in the given array, using the 5-point Central Difference, which produces an accuracy of order 4. At the boundary, or close to it, different 5-point stencils are used, still resulting in an accuracy of order 4. For the coefficients, see: https://web.media.mit.edu/~crtaylor/calculator.html Returns the same size as the input array. For multi-dimensional cases, use gradient_order4() For a simpler, but less accurate (order 2) approach, simply use Numpy gradient() :param arr: One-dimensional Numpy array (or list, or tuple) of numbers, with at least 5 elements :param dx: Delta_x (assumed constant) :param dtype: Data type to use for the elements of the returned array :return: A Numpy array with the same size as the one passed in arr |

gradient_order4 | cls, f: np.array, *varargs | Union[np.array, list] |
Compute the gradient, from the values in the given (possibly multidimensional) array, using the 5-point Central Difference, which produces an accuracy of order 4. At the boundary, and at the points immediately adjacent to the boundary, simple 2-point forward or backward differences are used (accuracy order 1.) It returns a list of ndarrays (or a single ndarray if there is only 1 dimension). Each list element has the same shape as the original array, and corresponds to the derivatives of the passed array with respect to each dimension. For 1-dimensional cases, can also use gradient_order4_1d(), which produces accuracy order 4 at ALL points. (ADAPTED FROM https://gist.github.com/deeplycloudy/1b9fa46d5290314d9be02a5156b48741 , which is based on 2nd order version from http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/trunk/numpy/lib/function_base.py :param f: An N-dimensional array giving samples of a scalar function :param varargs: 0, 1, or N scalars giving the sample distances in each direction :return: A list of N numpy arrays, each of the same shape as f giving the derivative of f with respect to each dimension |

expand_matrix_boundary | cls, m | np.array |
Add a row at the top and at the bottom, and also add a column to the left and to the right, repeating the edge values of the matrix EXAMPLE: [[1, 2], [3, 4]] will turn to [[1, 1, 2, 2], [1, 1, 2, 2], [3, 3, 4, 4], [3, 3, 4, 4]] Note how the original matrix is "embedded" in the center of the larger one :param m: A Numpy matrix :return: A Numpy matrix, with 2 extra rows (at top and bottom) and 2 extra columns (at left and right) |
