class matplotlib.mlab.GaussianKDE(dataset, bw_method=None)

Bases: object

Representation of a kernel-density estimate using Gaussian kernels.

Parameters:

dataset : array_like

Datapoints to estimate from. In case of univariate data this is a 1-D array, otherwise a 2-D array with shape (# of dims, # of data).

bw_method : str, scalar or callable, optional

The method used to calculate the estimator bandwidth. This can be 'scott', 'silverman', a scalar constant or a callable. If a scalar, this will be used directly as kde.factor. If a callable, it should take a GaussianKDE instance as only parameter and return a scalar. If None (default), 'scott' is used.

Attributes

dataset	(ndarray) The dataset with which gaussian_kde was initialized.
dim	(int) Number of dimensions.
num_dp	(int) Number of datapoints.
factor	(float) The bandwidth factor, obtained from kde.covariance_factor, with which the covariance matrix is multiplied.
covariance	(ndarray) The covariance matrix of dataset, scaled by the calculated bandwidth (kde.factor).
inv_cov	(ndarray) The inverse of covariance.

Methods

kde.evaluate(points)	(ndarray) Evaluate the estimated pdf on a provided set of points.
kde(points)	(ndarray) Same as kde.evaluate(points)

covariance_factor()

evaluate(points)

Evaluate the estimated pdf on a set of points.

Parameters:

points : (# of dimensions, # of points)-array

Alternatively, a (# of dimensions,) vector can be passed in and treated as a single point.

Returns:

values : (# of points,)-array

The values at each point.

Raises:

ValueError : if the dimensionality of the input points is different

than the dimensionality of the KDE.

matplotlib.mlab.angle_spectrum(x, Fs=None, window=None, pad_to=None, sides=None)

Compute the angle of the frequency spectrum (wrapped phase spectrum) of x. Data is padded to a length of pad_to and the windowing function window is applied to the signal.

Parameters:

x : 1-D array or sequence

Array or sequence containing the data

Fs : scalar

The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.

window : callable or ndarray

A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see window_hanning, window_none, numpy.blackman, numpy.hamming, numpy.bartlett, scipy.signal, scipy.signal.get_window, etc. The default is window_hanning. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.

sides : {'default', 'onesided', 'twosided'}

Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. 'onesided' forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while 'twosided' forces two-sided.

pad_to : int

The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performing the FFT. While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds to the n parameter in the call to fft(). The default is None, which sets pad_to equal to the length of the input signal (i.e. no padding).

Returns:

spectrum : 1-D array

The values for the angle spectrum in radians (real valued)

freqs : 1-D array

The frequencies corresponding to the elements in spectrum

See also

matplotlib.mlab.apply_window(x, window, axis=0, return_window=None)

Apply the given window to the given 1D or 2D array along the given axis.

Parameters:

x : 1D or 2D array or sequence

Array or sequence containing the data.

window : function or array.

Either a function to generate a window or an array with length x.shape[axis]

axis : integer

The axis over which to do the repetition. Must be 0 or 1. The default is 0

return_window : bool

If true, also return the 1D values of the window that was applied

matplotlib.mlab.cohere(x, y, NFFT=256, Fs=2, detrend=<function detrend_none>, window=<function window_hanning>, noverlap=0, pad_to=None, sides='default', scale_by_freq=None)

The coherence between x and y. Coherence is the normalized cross spectral density:

\[C_{xy} = \frac{|P_{xy}|^2}{P_{xx}P_{yy}}\]

Parameters:

x, y

Array or sequence containing the data

Fs : scalar

The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.

window : callable or ndarray

A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see window_hanning, window_none, numpy.blackman, numpy.hamming, numpy.bartlett, scipy.signal, scipy.signal.get_window, etc. The default is window_hanning. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.

sides : {'default', 'onesided', 'twosided'}

Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. 'onesided' forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while 'twosided' forces two-sided.

pad_to : int

The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performing the FFT. This can be different from NFFT, which specifies the number of data points used. While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds to the n parameter in the call to fft(). The default is None, which sets pad_to equal to NFFT

NFFT : int

The number of data points used in each block for the FFT. A power 2 is most efficient. The default value is 256. This should NOT be used to get zero padding, or the scaling of the result will be incorrect. Use pad_to for this instead.

detrend : {'none', 'mean', 'linear'} or callable, default 'none'

The function applied to each segment before fft-ing, designed to remove the mean or linear trend. Unlike in MATLAB, where the detrend parameter is a vector, in Matplotlib is it a function. The mlab module defines detrend_none, detrend_mean, and detrend_linear, but you can use a custom function as well. You can also use a string to choose one of the functions: 'none' calls detrend_none. 'mean' calls detrend_mean. 'linear' calls detrend_linear.

scale_by_freq : bool, optional

Specifies whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scaling frequency, which gives density in units of Hz^-1. This allows for integration over the returned frequency values. The default is True for MATLAB compatibility.

noverlap : integer

The number of points of overlap between blocks. The default value is 0 (no overlap).

Returns:

The return value is the tuple (Cxy, f), where f are the

frequencies of the coherence vector. For cohere, scaling the

individual densities by the sampling frequency has no effect,

since the factors cancel out.

While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail.

Compute the cross-spectral density.

The cross spectral density \(P_{xy}\) by Welch's average periodogram method. The vectors x and y are divided into NFFT length segments. Each segment is detrended by function detrend and windowed by function window. noverlap gives the length of the overlap between segments. The product of the direct FFTs of x and y are averaged over each segment to compute \(P_{xy}\), with a scaling to correct for power loss due to windowing.
