PyCWT

A Python module for continuous wavelet spectral analysis. It includes a collection of routines for wavelet transform and statistical analysis via FFT algorithm. In addition, the module also includes cross-wavelet transforms, wavelet coherence tests and sample scripts.

Please read the documentation here.

This module requires NumPy, SciPy, tqdm. In addition, you will also need matplotlib to run the examples.

The sample scripts (sample.py, sample_xwt.py) illustrate the use of the wavelet and inverse wavelet transforms, cross-wavelet transform and wavelet transform coherence. Results are plotted in figures similar to the sample images.

Disclaimer

This module is based on routines provided by C. Torrence and G. P. Compo available at http://paos.colorado.edu/research/wavelets/, on routines provided by A. Grinsted, J. Moore and S. Jevrejeva available at http://noc.ac.uk/using-science/crosswavelet-wavelet-coherence, and on routines provided by A. Brazhe available at http://cell.biophys.msu.ru/static/swan/.

This software is released under a BSD-style open source license. Please read the license file for further information. This routine is provided as is without any express or implied warranties whatsoever.

Installation

We recommend using PyPI to install this package.

$ pip install pycwt

Or, you can download the code and run the below line within the top level folder.

$ python setup.py install
