Release Notes

This is a major release. The following changes were implemented:

  • Now the script requires Numpy v1.11 or higher to work properly. The script will check your Numpy version once you run it.
  • The parameter type in the extract_areas function has been renamed as form to avoid the use of a Python keyword.
  • Taking advantage of the new features implemented in Numpy v1.11, the find_grain_size function implements new methods to estimate the bin size in the histograms including an automatic mode (the default) and the Freedman-Diaconis', Sturge's, Scott's, Doane's, Rice's, and square root rules. See more details in the script documentation or here.
  • The output showed in the shell after calling the find_grain_size function have been reorganized and improved for better clarity.
  • The derive3D function automatically generates a text (csv) file containing the midpoints, class frequencies and cumulative volume estimated.
  • The titles of the different plots have been renamed for better clarity.
  • The get_Scott_binsize and get_FD_binsize functions have been deprecated.
  • Improvements in the function specifications.
  • Minor changes to meet the Style Guide for Python Code

Upcoming features:

  • New method to estimate an optimal kde bandwidth in multimodal populations
