Peace-wise interpolation and lazy evaluation in cython
Project description
About
bpf4 is a library for curve fitting and break point functions in python. It is mainly programmed in Cython for efficiency. It has been used in itself for functional and numerical analysis.
Example
Find the intersection between two curves
>>> from bpf4 import bpf # this imports the api >>> import pylab >>> a = bpf.spline((0, 0), (1, 5), (2, 3), (5, 10)) # each point (x, y) >>> b = bpf.expon((0, -10), (2,15), (5, 3), exp=3) >>> a.plot() # uses matplotlib >>> b.plot() >>> zeros = (a - b).zeros() >>> pylab.plot(zeros, a.map(zeros), 'o')

Features
Many interpolation types besides linear:
spline
half-cosine
exponential
fibonacci
exponantial half-cosine
pchip
logarithmic
etc.
Interpolation types can be mixed, so that each segment has a different interpolation (with the exception of spline interpolation) Curves can be combined non-destructively. Following from the example above.
>>> c = (a + b).sin().abs() >>> c[1.5:4].plot() # plot only the range (1.5, 4)

Syntax support for shifting, scaling and slicing a bpf
>>> a >> 2 # a shifted to the right >>> (a * 5) ^ 2 # scale the x coord by 2, scale the y coord by 5 >>> a[2:2.5] # slice only a portion of the bpf >>> a[::0.01] # sample the bpf with an interval of 0.01
Derivation and Integration: c.derivative().plot() or c.integrated().integrated().plot() Numerical integration: c.integrate_between(2, 4)
