Setup

In order for the following examples to work, you need to install the library by running the following command in the main directory:

$ python setup.py install

Generating Test Data

Test data can be generated using the EmulatorMain class. Using the generateSingleObject method, one can generate observation data of transients and non-transients.

By passing in a value of True a transient is generated, while passing in False causes a non-transient to be generated.

from binaryclassifier import EmulatorMain

em = EmulatorMain.EmulatorMain()
em.generateSingleObject(True)









    Out[1]:





[Observation0(time=14078, light=64.03),
 Observation1(time=28156, light=74.99),
 Observation2(time=42234, light=85.95),
 Observation3(time=56312, light=97.05)]



In [2]:

    
from binaryclassifier import EmulatorMain

em = EmulatorMain.EmulatorMain()
em.generateSingleObject(False)









    Out[2]:





[Observation0(time=10559, light=47.98),
 Observation1(time=21118, light=47.97),
 Observation2(time=31677, light=47.95),
 Observation3(time=42236, light=47.96),
 Observation4(time=52795, light=48.0),
 Observation5(time=63354, light=47.98),
 Observation6(time=73913, light=47.97),
 Observation7(time=84472, light=47.96)]

Observation Data Format

The observation data returned by using the generateSingleObject method is formatted as a list of named tuples. Each tuple represents a single observation of the 'object'.

Each observation tuple contains the time the observation was taken at and the light level recorded in the observation of the object.

from binaryclassifier import EmulatorMain

em = EmulatorMain.EmulatorMain()
object1 = em.generateSingleObject(False)
print object1[0]
print "time:  " + str(object1[0][0])
print "light: " + str(object1[0][1])









    



Observation0(time=16671, light=68.02)
time:  16671
light: 68.02
