pysecs 0.2.0

Spherical Elementary Current System Calculations

# pysecs

pysecs is an open source library for calculating Spherical Elementary Current Systems (SECS).

## Features

• Based upon the [scikit-learn](http://scikit-learn.org/) framework with fit() and predict() methods.

• The only dependency is [NumPy](http://www.numpy.org/). It is built using fast broadcasting techniques to provide highly scalable calculations.

## Examples

Examples can be found in [examples/](./examples/)

## Install

The easiest method to install pysecs is with pip.

`bash > pip install pysecs `

For a source install you can follow these instructions:

1. Clone the git repository
