pyblock 0.1

Reblocking analysis tools for correlated data

pyblock is a python module for performing a reblocking analysis on serially-correlated data.

The algorithms implemented in pyblock are not new; please see the documentation for references.

pyblock is compatible with (and tested on!) python 2.7 and python 3.3-3.4 and should work on any other version supported by pandas.

Documentation

Documentation and a simple tutorial can be found in the docs subdirectory and on readthedocs.

Installation

pyblock can be used simply by adding to $PYTHONPATH. Alternatively, it can be installed using distutils:

$ pip install pyblock

or from PyPI:

$ pip install pyblock

pyblock requires numpy and (optionally) pandas and matplotlib. Please see the documentation for more details.
