Repository files navigation

evo_mwc

Overview

This repository contains all active research materials for a project using MWC model parameters as selectable quantitative traits.

Layout

The repository is split into seven main directories, many of which have subdirectories. This structure has been designed to be easily navigable by humans and computers alike, allowing for rapid location of specific files and instructions. Within each directory is a README.md file which summarizes the purpose of that directory as well as some examples where necessary.

evo_mwc

Custom code written for the project that is not executed directly, but is called from files in the code directory.

Installing module

In order to use the functions within the evo_mwc module it is necessary to install the package locally. This can simply be done by navigating in the terminal to the main project directory and typing the command

pip install -e ./

The setup.py file will take care of the installation. The -e option within the package allows for the constant update of the package as it might be subject to changes as the project is being developed.

The modules contained in the package include:

  • viz.py : functions for data visualization and plot styling.
  • model.py : functions related to the theoretical model to map biophysical traits to fitness functions.
  • gaussianprocess.py, fitderiv.py : series of functions to compute derivatives from time series as detailed in Swain et al, 2016
