Continuous wavelet transforms in Python.
A Clean Python implementation of the wavelet analysis outlined in Torrence and Compo (BAMS, 1998)
Usage
from wavelets import WaveletAnalysis
# given a signal x(t)
x = np.random.randn(1000)
# and a sample spacing
dt = 0.1
wa = WaveletAnalysis(x, dt=dt)
# wavelet power spectrum
power = wa.wavelet_power
# scales
scales = wa.scales
# associated time vector
t = wa.time
# reconstruction of the original data
rx = wa.reconstruction()How would you plot this?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
T, S = np.meshgrid(t, scales)
ax.contourf(T, S, power, 100)
ax.set_yscale('log')
fig.savefig('test_wavelet_power_spectrum.png')See the tests for more plotting examples.
What wavelet functions can I use?
The default is to use the Morlet. The Ricker (aka Mexican hat, aka Marr) is also available.
You can write your own wavelet functions, in either time or frequency. Just follow the example of Morlet in the source.
You specify the function to use when starting the analysis:
from wavelets import Ricker
wa = WaveletAnalysis(data=x, wavelet=Ricker(), dt=dt)Installation
pip install git+https://github.com/aaren/waveletsor install from a local copy:
git clone https://github.com/aaren/wavelets.git
cd wavelets
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
# Optional: Run testsuite
pip install -r test-requirements.txt
nosetestsRequirements
- Python 2.7+ / 3.4+ (other versions might work but have not been tested)
- Numpy (developed with 1.7.1)
- Scipy (developed with 0.12.0)
Scipy is only used for signal.fftconvolve and optimize.fsolve,
and could potentially be removed.
