Description
New features
- The
parallel
module is a new experimental module (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/307) to run python functions concurrently. Supports native (pythonic) ProcessPollExecutor and MPI. Not limited to Elephant functional. - Added an optional
refractory_period
argument, set to None by default, todither_spikes
function (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/297). - Added
cdf
andicdf
functions in Kernel class to correctly estimate the median index, needed forinstantaneous_rate
function in statistics.py (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/313). - Added an optional
center_kernel
argument, set to True by default (to behave as in Elephant <0.8.0 versions) toinstantaneous_rate
function in statistics.py (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/313).
- Analysis of Sequences of Synchronous EvenTs (ASSET) tutorial: https://elephant.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/asset.html
- Parallel module tutorial: https://elephant.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/parallel.html
- Optimized ASSET runtime by a factor of 10 and more (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/259, https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/333).
Python 2.7 and 3.5 are deprecated and will not be maintained by the end of 2020. Switch to Python 3.6+.
Breaking changes- Naming convention changes (
binsize
->bin_size
, etc.) in almost all Elephant functions (https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/316). - Deprecated
pandas_bridge
module has been removed from a list of auto imports inelephant/__init__.py
but can be still easily accessed byfrom elephant import pandas_bridge
.
