example-qspec 0.1.0

A small example package

• Summary：

  • This package includes codes and data for "Efficient Bayesian Inference on Quantile Spectral Analysis of Multivariate Stationary Time Series" by Zhixiong Hu and Raquel Prado.
  • The codes are written in Python 3.7.0 (suggested version >= 3.7).
  • Author: Zhixiong Hu

• Set Up

  • Install Anaconda Python from: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual

  Note: If conda command is still unavailable in the terminal, please open Anaconda Navigator app (installed in the previous step) and open the terminal as following:

  

  • Open the terminal as in the previous step. To install the package, type 'pip install -i https://pypi.org/simple/ example-qspec==0.1.0' (or type 'pip install --upgrade example_qspec')
  • 'cd' to where the [packaging_tutorial/test] folder is located (set [test] as work directory)

• Run Test Code:

  • In the [test] folder, [runbook_1.py] and [runbook_2.py] are runbooks to show how to use our approach to reproduce part of the results in the paper.
  • Use Anacoda Prompt command line, type 'python runbook_1.py' or 'python runbook_2.py' to run the test code.
  • The results will be stored (as .png files) in [test] folder.
  • The [test/utils] folder includes sample data used in the runbooks.

• Use .npy data in R

  • All the data is stored as .npy files. To load .npy in R, use the following command:

# R code, please download reticulate R package first

library(reticulate)
np <- import("numpy")
array = np$load('test/utils/qvar1.npy') # specify where .npy is

Note We are actively updating the code. For example, currently the naming convention is messy. In the next step, we want to follow PeP-8 style to improve the readability and consistency of our Python code.
