mescla.types

Core data containers shared across Mescla.

The containers are deliberately thin: they carry a numeric matrix plus the labels needed to keep species and samples straight, and they know how to convert to and from pandas.DataFrame. Every public function in the library accepts plain arrays, DataFrames or these containers, and returns a result object from here.

Notation follows Carrera et al. (2004) throughout:

ne	number of end-members
np_	number of mixed samples (np is taken by NumPy)
ns	number of chemical species

Classes

ChemTable	A matrix of concentrations with row and column labels.
DiagnosticsReport	Per-species goodness-of-fit for a mixing model (Hooper, 2003).
EMMAResult	Outcome of an End-Member Mixing Analysis.
EndMembers	Chemistry of the candidate source waters (end-members).
MixingResult	Mixing ratios for a set of samples, plus whatever the estimator revised.
WaterChemistry	Chemistry of mixed water samples -- the waters whose origin you want to explain.
