iterativefiltering 1.0.2

Python Package for Iterative Filtering decomposition methods

FAST ITERATIVE FILTERING - python package

This package contains the python classes and methods for the Iterative Filtering (IF), Fast Iterative Filtering (FIF), Multidimensional Iterative Filtering (MIF), the Multivariate Iterative Filtering (MvFIF) and the Multivariate Fast Iterative Filtering (MvFIF) algorithms.

Definitions

• IF: Iterative Filtering is an adaptive method for decomposing a 1D signal into a set of Intrinsic Mode Components (IMC) plus a trend. These components are simple oscillating functions whose average frequency is well behaved and form a complete and nearly orthogonal basis of the original signal. In this repository, IF is made fast by using FFT convolution (similar to FIF but without the problem of having a periodic signal).

• FIF: builds on iterative filtering and combines it with FFT to make it faster. It requires, however, periodic signals.

• MIF: it is used to decompose multidimensional signals (currently only 2D and only defined on periodic domains). Other versions (e.g. MIF multidimensional 3D) if present, are currently experimental and should be used with caution.

• MvFIF: is the multivariate version of FIF, designed to decompose multichannel signals at once (e.g. components of a vector). It requires, however, periodic signals.

• MvIF: Same as MvFIF, but without the problem of having a periodic signal.

• IMFogram: the IMFogram method, is contained in fifpy.IMFogram_v1. This program is experimental and should be used with care.

Notes

This repository is a complete rewriting of the original matlab codes by A. Cicone.

Dependencies

The package has been written and tested in python3.8, should be compatible with python <3.13, due to requirement from numba.

Dependencies: scipy, numpy, numba, scikit-learn, attrdict, matplotlib

Install

The package is available on PyPI. To install it simply type

pip install iterativefiltering

Examples

#create the signal to be analyzed
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi,100,endpoint=False)
y = np.sin(2*x) + np.cos(10*x+2.3)
        
#do the FIF analysis
import fifpy
    
fif=fifpy.IF()
fif.run(y)
#plot the results
import pylab as plt
plt.ion()
plt.figure()
plt.plot(x,y,label='signal')
[plt.plot(x,fif.data['IMC'][i,:],label = 'IMC#'+str(i)) for i in range(fif.data['IMC'].shape[0])]
plt.legend(loc='best')
