ViroCon's numerical core: computes n-dimensional environmental contours

Project description

Build status https://coveralls.io/repos/github/ahaselsteiner/viroconcom/badge.svg?branch=master

About

viroconcom is a package belonging to the software ViroCon.

ViroCon helps you to design marine structures, which need to withstand load combinations based on wave, wind and current. It lets you define extreme environmental conditions with a given return period using the environmental contour method.

The following methods are available:

  • Fitting a probabilistic model to measurement data using maximum likelihood estimation

  • Defining a probabilistic model with the conditonal modeling approach (CMA)

  • Computing an environmental contour using either the

    • inverse first order reliability method (IFORM) or the

    • highest density contour (HDC) method

ViroCon is written in Python 3.6.4. The software is seperated in two main packages, viroconweb and viroconcom. This is the repository of viroconcom, which is the numerical core. It handles the statistical computations. viroconweb builds on viroconcom and is a web-based application with a graphical user interface. It has its own repository.

Install

To install the latest version of viroconcom from PyPI use

pip install viroconcom

Alternatively, you can install from viroconcom repository’s Master branch with

pip install https://github.com/ahaselsteiner/viroconcom/archive/master.zip

Documentation

Code. The code’s documentation can be found here.

Paper. We are currently writing an academic paper describing ViroCon. We will provide a link to it here.

Contributing
