This package implements several smoothing techniques including:
* Moving average
* Savitzky-Golay filter
* Lowess smoothing
* Polynomial regression
* Gaussian process regression
## Installation
Clone this repository using:
git clone https://github.com/nirajbhor/PySmoother.git
Then run `pip install .` from within `PySmoother/` directory.
## Usage
### Moving average
import numpy as np
from pysmoother import MovingAverage
data_x = np.arange(0.,10.,0.1)
data_y = np.sin(data_x) + np.random.randn(len(data_x))*0.1
moving_average_filter = MovingAverage(window_size=5)
smoothed_y = moving_average_filter.fit_transform(data_y)
plt.plot(data_x,data_y,'.')
plt.plot(data_x[2:-2],smoothed_y,'r')
plt.show()
### Savitzky-Golay filter
import numpy as np
from pysmoother import SavitzkyGolayFilter
data_x = np.arange(0.,10.,0.1)
data_y = np.sin(data_x) + np.random.randn(len(data_x))*0.1
sg_filter = SavitzkyGolayFilter(window_size=5,poly_order=2)
smoothed_y = sg_filter.fit_transform(data_y)
plt.plot(data_x,data_y,'.')
plt.plot(data_x[2:-2],smoothed_y,'r')
plt.show()
### Lowess smoothing
import numpy as np
from pysmoother import LowessSmoothing
data_x = np.arange(0.,10.,0.1)
data_y = np.sin(data_x) + np.random.randn(len(data_x))*0.1
lowess_smoothing = LowessSmoothing(fraction=0.1)
smoothed_y = lowess_smoothing.fit_transform(data_x,data_y)
plt.plot(data_x,data_y,'.')
plt.plot(data_x[2:-2],smoothed_y,'r')
plt.show()
### Polynomial regression
import numpy as np
from pysmoother import PolyRegression
data_x = np.arange(0.,10.,0.1)
data_y = data_x**2 + data_x*np.random.randn(len(data_x))
poly_regression = PolyRegression(poly_order=2)
poly_regression.fit_transform(data_x,data_y)
y_predicited_poly_regression = poly_regression.predict(np.array([7]))
print(y_predicited_poly_regression)
plt.plot(data_x,data_y,'.')
plt.plot(np.linspace(0.,10.),poly_regression.predict(np.linspace(0.,10.)),'r')
plt.show()
### Gaussian process regression
import numpy as np
from pysmoother import GPRegression
data_x = np.arange(0.,10.,0.1).reshape(-1,1)
data_y = data_x**2 + data_x*np.random.randn(len(data_x)).reshape(-1,1)
gp_regression = GPRegression(kernel_type='RBF',noise_level=0.)
gp_regression.fit_transform(data_x,data_y)
y_predicited_gp_regression = gp_regression.predict(np.array([[7]]))
print(y_predicited_gp_regression)
x_test = np.linspace(0.,10.).reshape(-1,1)
y_predicted_gp_regression_test_points,x_std_dev_gp_regression_test_points = gp_regression.predict(x_test)
plt.figure(figsize=(6.,6))
plt.scatter(data_x,data_y,s=15,c='k',marker='o',label='Data points')
plt.fill_between(x_test.ravel(),
y_predicted_gp_regression_test_points.ravel() - x_std_dev_gp_regression_test_points.ravel(),
y_predicted_gp_regression_test_points.ravel() + x_std_dev_gp_regression_test_points.ravel(),
color='r',alpha=0.5,label='Uncertainty region')
plt.plot(x_test,y_predicted_gp_regression_test_points,color='r',label='GP regression prediction')
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
