Usage

import brightway2 as bw
from ulcarchetype.utils import get_cf_info,minmax_archetype,cf_add_uncertainty

method = bw.methods.random()
cf_df = get_cf_info(method) # returns a dataframe with data on characterisation factors
minmax_archetype(cf_df) # returns a dataframe with data needed to define uncertain CFs
# or simply
cf_add_uncertainty(method) # returns a list of CFs taking into account archetype uncertainty
