profiletools: Classes for working with profile data of arbitrary dimension

Source home: https://github.com/markchil/profiletools

Overview

profiletools is a Python package that provides a convenient, powerful and extensible way of working with multivariate data, particularly profile data from magnetic plasma confinement devices. profiletools features deep integration with gptools to support Gaussian process regression (GPR).

Notes

profiletools has been developed and tested on Python 2.7 and scipy 0.14.0. It may work just as well on other versions, but has not been tested.

profiletools uses the module gptools for GPR. You can find the source at https://github.com/markchil/gptools/ and the documentation at http://gptools.readthedocs.org/

profiletools uses the module eqtools for tokamak coordinate transformations. You can find the source at https://github.com/PSFCPlasmaTools/eqtools/ and the documentation at http://eqtools.readthedocs.org/

Once I put together a formal publication on this software and its applications, this readme will be updated with the relevant citation.
