class PPSD(object):

    Class to compile probabilistic power spectral densities for one combination
    of network/station/location/channel/sampling_rate.

    Calculations are based on the routine used by [McNamara2004]_.
    For information on New High/Low Noise Model see [Peterson1993]_.

    .. rubric:: Basic Usage

    >>> from obspy import read
    >>> from obspy.signal import PPSD

    >>> st = read()
    >>> tr = st.select(channel="EHZ")[0]
    >>> paz = {'gain': 60077000.0,
    ...        'poles': [-0.037004+0.037016j, -0.037004-0.037016j,
    ...                  -251.33+0j, -131.04-467.29j, -131.04+467.29j],
    ...        'sensitivity': 2516778400.0,
    ...        'zeros': [0j, 0j]}

    >>> ppsd = PPSD(tr.stats, paz)
    >>> print(ppsd.id)
    BW.RJOB..EHZ
    >>> print(ppsd.times_processed)
    []

    Now we could add data to the probabilistic psd (all processing like
    demeaning, tapering and so on is done internally) and plot it like ...

    >>> ppsd.add(st) # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> print(ppsd.times_processed) # doctest: +SKIP
    [UTCDateTime(...), UTCDateTime(...), ..., UTCDateTime(...)]
    >>> ppsd.plot() # doctest: +SKIP

    ... but the example stream is too short and does not contain enough data.

    .. note::

        For a real world example see the `ObsPy Tutorial`_.

    .. rubric:: Saving and Loading

    The PPSD object supports saving to a numpy npz compressed binary file:

    >>> ppsd.save_npz("myfile.npz") # doctest: +SKIP

    The saved PPSD can then be loaded again using the static method
    :func:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD.load_npz`, e.g. to plot the
    results again. If additional data is to be processed (note that another
    option is to combine multiple npz files using
    :meth:`~obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD.add_npz`), metadata must be
    provided again, since they are not stored in the numpy npz file:

    >>> ppsd = PPSD.load_npz("myfile.npz")  # doctest: +SKIP

    .. note::

        When using metadata from an
        :class:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.Inventory`,
        a :class:`~obspy.io.xseed.parser.Parser` instance or from a RESP file,
        information on metadata will be correctly picked for the respective
        starttime of the data trace. This means that instrument changes are
        correctly taken into account during response removal.
        This is obviously not the case for a static PAZ dictionary!

        Initialize the PPSD object setting all fixed information on the station
        that should not change afterwards to guarantee consistent spectral
        estimates.
        The necessary instrument response information can be provided in
        several ways using the `metadata` keyword argument:

        * Providing an :class:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.Inventory`
          object (e.g. read from a StationXML file using
          :func:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.read_inventory` or fetched
          from a :mod:`FDSN <obspy.clients.fdsn>` webservice).
        * Providing an
          :class:`obspy.io.xseed Parser <obspy.io.xseed.parser.Parser>`,
          (e.g. containing metadata from a Dataless SEED file).
        * Providing the filename/path to a local RESP file.
        * Providing a dictionary containing poles and zeros information. Be
          aware that this leads to wrong results if the instrument's response
          is changing over the timespans that are added to the PPSD.
          Use with caution!

        :note: When using `special_handling="ringlaser"` the applied processing
               steps are changed. Differentiation of data (converting velocity
               to acceleration data) will be omitted and a flat instrument
               response is assumed, leaving away response removal and only
               dividing by `metadata['sensitivity']` specified in the provided
               `metadata` dictionary (other keys do not have to be present
               then). For scaling factors that are usually multiplied to the
               data remember to use the inverse as `metadata['sensitivity']`.

        :type stats: :class:`~obspy.core.trace.Stats`
        :param stats: Stats of the station/instrument to process
        :type metadata: :class:`~obspy.core.inventory.inventory.Inventory` or
            :class:`~obspy.io.xseed Parser` or str or dict
        :param metadata: Response information of instrument. See above notes
            for details.
        :type skip_on_gaps: bool, optional
        :param skip_on_gaps: Determines whether time segments with gaps should
                be skipped entirely. [McNamara2004]_ merge gappy
                traces by filling with zeros. This results in a clearly
                identifiable outlier psd line in the PPSD visualization. Select
                `skip_on_gaps=True` for not filling gaps with zeros which might
                result in some data segments shorter than `ppsd_length` not
                used in the PPSD.
        :type db_bins: tuple of three ints/floats
        :param db_bins: Specify the lower and upper boundary and the width of
                the db bins. The bin width might get adjusted to fit  a number
                of equally spaced bins in between the given boundaries.
        :type ppsd_length: float, optional
        :param ppsd_length: Length of data segments passed to psd in seconds.
                In the paper by [McNamara2004]_ a value of 3600 (1 hour) was
                chosen. Longer segments increase the upper limit of analyzed
                periods but decrease the number of analyzed segments.
        :type overlap: float, optional
        :param overlap: Overlap of segments passed to psd. Overlap may take
                values between 0 and 1 and is given as fraction of the length
                of one segment, e.g. `ppsd_length=3600` and `overlap=0.5`
                result in an overlap of 1800s of the segments.
        :type special_handling: str, optional
        :param special_handling: Switches on customized handling for
            data other than seismometer recordings. Can be one of: 'ringlaser'
            (no instrument correction, just division by
            `metadata["sensitivity"]` of provided metadata dictionary),
            'hydrophone' (no differentiation after instrument correction).
        :type period_smoothing_width_octaves: float
        :param period_smoothing_width_octaves: Determines over what
            period/frequency range the psd is smoothed around every central
            period/frequency. Given in fractions of octaves (default of ``1``
            means the psd is averaged over a full octave at each central
            frequency).
        :type period_step_octaves: float
        :param period_step_octaves: Step length on frequency axis in fraction
            of octaves (default of ``0.125`` means one smoothed psd value on
            the frequency axis is measured every 1/8 of an octave).
        :type period_limits: tuple/list of two float
        :param period_limits: Set custom lower and upper end of period range
            (e.g. ``(0.01, 100)``). The specified lower end of period range
            will be set as the central period of the first bin (geometric mean
            of left/right edges of smoothing interval). At the upper end of the
            specified period range, no more additional bins will be added after
            the bin whose center frequency exceeds the given upper end for the
            first time.

            from the returned stack.
        :type endtime: :class:`~obspy.core.utcdatetime.UTCDateTime`
        :param endtime: If set, data after the specified time is excluded
            from the returned stack.
        :type time_of_weekday: list of (int, float, float) 3-tuples

            `7`, `-1` for any day of week. For example, using
            `time_of_weekday=[(-1, 0, 2), (-1, 22, 24)]` only individual
            spectra that have a starttime in between 10pm and 2am are used in
            the stack for all days of week, using
            `time_of_weekday=[(5, 22, 24), (6, 0, 2), (6, 22, 24), (7, 0, 2)]`
            only spectra with a starttime in between Friday 10pm to Saturdays
            2am and Saturday 10pm to Sunday 2am are used.
            Note that time of day is specified in UTC (time of day might have
            to be adapted to daylight saving time). Also note that this setting
            filters only by starttime of the used psd time slice, so the length
            of individual slices (set at initialization:
            :meth:`PPSD(..., ppsd_length=XXX, ...) <PPSD.__init__>` in seconds)
            has to be taken into consideration (e.g. with a `ppsd_length` of
            one hour and a `time_of_weekday` restriction to 10pm-2am
            actually includes data from 10pm-3am).
        :type year: list of int
        :param year: If set, restricts the data that is included in the stack
            by year. For example, using `year=[2015]` only individual spectra
            from year 2015 are used in the stack, using `year=[2013, 2015]`
            only spectra from exactly year 2013 or exactly year 2015 are used.
        :type month: list of int
        :param month: If set, restricts the data that is included in the stack
            by month of year. For example, using `month=[2]` only individual
            spectra from February are used in the stack, using `month=[4, 7]`
            only spectra from exactly April or exactly July are used.
        :type isoweek: list of int
        :param isoweek: If set, restricts the data that is included in the
            stack by ISO week number of year. For example, using `isoweek=[2]`
            only individual spectra from 2nd ISO week of any year are used in
            the stack, using `isoweek=[4, 7]` only spectra from exactly 4th ISO
            week or exactly 7th ISO week are used.
        :type callback: func
        :param callback: Custom user defined callback function that can be used
            for more complex scenarios to specify whether an individual psd
            piece should be included in the stack or not. The function will be
            passed an array with the starttimes of all psd pieces (as a POSIX
            timestamp that can be used as a single argument to initialize a
            :class:`~obspy.core.utcdatetime.UTCDateTime` object) and
            should return a boolean array specifying which psd pieces should be
            included in the stack (`True`) and which should be excluded
            (`False`). Note that even when callback returns `True` the psd
            piece will be excluded if it does not match all other criteria
            (e.g. `starttime`).
