def linspace(start, stop, num=50, endpoint=True, retstep=False):
    """
    Return evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval.

    Returns `num` evenly spaced samples, calculated over the
    interval [`start`, `stop` ].

    The endpoint of the interval can optionally be excluded.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : scalar
        The starting value of the sequence.
    stop : scalar
        The end value of the sequence, unless `endpoint` is set to False.
        In that case, the sequence consists of all but the last of ``num + 1``
        evenly spaced samples, so that `stop` is excluded.  Note that the step
        size changes when `endpoint` is False.
    num : int, optional
        Number of samples to generate. Default is 50.
    endpoint : bool, optional
        If True, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
        Default is True.
    retstep : bool, optional
        If True, return (`samples`, `step`), where `step` is the spacing
        between samples.

    Returns
    -------
    samples : ndarray
        There are `num` equally spaced samples in the closed interval
        ``[start, stop]`` or the half-open interval ``[start, stop)``
        (depending on whether `endpoint` is True or False).
    step : float (only if `retstep` is True)
        Size of spacing between samples.


    See Also
    --------
    arange : Similiar to `linspace`, but uses a step size (instead of the
             number of samples).
    logspace : Samples uniformly distributed in log space.

    --------
    >>> np.linspace(2.0, 3.0, num=5)

def logspace(start,stop,num=50,endpoint=True,base=10.0):

    Return numbers spaced evenly on a log scale.

    In linear space, the sequence starts at ``base ** start``
    (`base` to the power of `start`) and ends with ``base ** stop``
    (see `endpoint` below).

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : float
        ``base ** start`` is the starting value of the sequence.
    stop : float
        ``base ** stop`` is the final value of the sequence, unless `endpoint`
        is False.  In that case, ``num + 1`` values are spaced over the
        interval in log-space, of which all but the last (a sequence of
        length ``num``) are returned.
    num : integer, optional
        Number of samples to generate.  Default is 50.
    endpoint : boolean, optional
        If true, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
        Default is True.
    base : float, optional
        The base of the log space. The step size between the elements in
        ``ln(samples) / ln(base)`` (or ``log_base(samples)``) is uniform.
        Default is 10.0.

    Returns
    -------
    samples : ndarray
        `num` samples, equally spaced on a log scale.

    See Also
    --------
    arange : Similiar to linspace, with the step size specified instead of the
             number of samples. Note that, when used with a float endpoint, the

    linspace : Similar to logspace, but with the samples uniformly distributed

def histogram(a, bins=10, range=None, normed=False, weights=None, new=None):
    """
    Compute the histogram of a set of data.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input data.
    bins : int or sequence of scalars, optional
        If `bins` is an int, it defines the number of equal-width
        bins in the given range (10, by default). If `bins` is a sequence,
        it defines the bin edges, including the rightmost edge, allowing
        for non-uniform bin widths.
    range : (float, float), optional
        The lower and upper range of the bins.  If not provided, range
        is simply ``(a.min(), a.max())``.  Values outside the range are
        ignored. Note that with `new` set to False, values below
        the range are ignored, while those above the range are tallied
        in the rightmost bin.
    normed : bool, optional
        If False, the result will contain the number of samples
        in each bin.  If True, the result is the value of the
        probability *density* function at the bin, normalized such that
        the *integral* over the range is 1. Note that the sum of the
        histogram values will often not be equal to 1; it is not a
        probability *mass* function.
    weights : array_like, optional
        An array of weights, of the same shape as `a`.  Each value in `a`
        only contributes its associated weight towards the bin count
        (instead of 1).  If `normed` is True, the weights are normalized,
        so that the integral of the density over the range remains 1.
        The `weights` keyword is only available with `new` set to True.
    new : {None, True, False}, optional
        Whether to use the new semantics for histogram:
          * None : the new behaviour is used, no warning is printed.
          * True : the new behaviour is used and a warning is raised about
            the future removal of the `new` keyword.
          * False : the old behaviour is used and a DeprecationWarning
            is raised.
        As of NumPy 1.3, this keyword should not be used explicitly since it
        will disappear in NumPy 1.4.

    Returns
    -------
    hist : array
        The values of the histogram. See `normed` and `weights` for a
        description of the possible semantics.
    bin_edges : array of dtype float
        Return the bin edges ``(length(hist)+1)``.
        With ``new=False``, return the left bin edges (``length(hist)``).

    See Also
    --------
    histogramdd

    Notes
    -----
    All but the last (righthand-most) bin is half-open.  In other words, if
    `bins` is::

      [1, 2, 3, 4]

    then the first bin is ``[1, 2)`` (including 1, but excluding 2) and the
    second ``[2, 3)``.  The last bin, however, is ``[3, 4]``, which *includes*
    4.

    Parameters
    ----------
    sample : array_like
        Data to histogram passed as a sequence of D arrays of length N, or

def average(a, axis=None, weights=None, returned=False):
    """
    Return the weighted average of array over the specified axis.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Data to be averaged.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which to average `a`. If `None`, averaging is done over the
        entire array irrespective of its shape.
    weights : array_like, optional
        The importance that each datum has in the computation of the average.
        The weights array can either be 1-D (in which case its length must be
        the size of `a` along the given axis) or of the same shape as `a`.
        If `weights=None`, then all data in `a` are assumed to have a
        weight equal to one.
    returned : bool, optional
        Default is `False`. If `True`, the tuple (`average`, `sum_of_weights`)
        is returned, otherwise only the average is returned.  Note that
        if `weights=None`, `sum_of_weights` is equivalent to the number of
        elements over which the average is taken.

    Returns
    -------
    average, [sum_of_weights] : {array_type, double}
        Return the average along the specified axis. When returned is `True`,
        return a tuple with the average as the first element and the sum
        of the weights as the second element. The return type is `Float`
        if `a` is of integer type, otherwise it is of the same type as `a`.
        `sum_of_weights` is of the same type as `average`.

    Raises
    ------
    ZeroDivisionError
        When all weights along axis are zero. See `numpy.ma.average` for a
        version robust to this type of error.
    TypeError
        When the length of 1D `weights` is not the same as the shape of `a`

    """
    Evaluate a piecewise-defined function.

    Given a set of conditions and corresponding functions, evaluate each
    function on the input data wherever its condition is true.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : (N,) ndarray
        The input domain.
    condlist : list of M (N,)-shaped boolean arrays
        Each boolean array corresponds to a function in `funclist`.  Wherever
        `condlist[i]` is True, `funclist[i](x)` is used as the output value.

        Each boolean array in `condlist` selects a piece of `x`,
        and should therefore be of the same shape as `x`.

        The length of `condlist` must correspond to that of `funclist`.
        If one extra function is given, i.e. if the length of `funclist` is
        M+1, then that extra function is the default value, used wherever
        all conditions are false.
    funclist : list of M or M+1 callables, f(x,*args,**kw), or values
        Each function is evaluated over `x` wherever its corresponding
        condition is True.  It should take an array as input and give an array
        or a scalar value as output.  If, instead of a callable,
        a value is provided then a constant function (``lambda x: value``) is
        assumed.
    args : tuple, optional
        Any further arguments given to `piecewise` are passed to the functions
        upon execution, i.e., if called ``piecewise(...,...,1,'a')``, then
        each function is called as ``f(x,1,'a')``.
    kw : dictionary, optional
        Keyword arguments used in calling `piecewise` are passed to the
        functions upon execution, i.e., if called
        ``piecewise(...,...,lambda=1)``, then each function is called as
        ``f(x,lambda=1)``.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        The output is the same shape and type as x and is found by
        calling the functions in `funclist` on the appropriate portions of `x`,
        as defined by the boolean arrays in `condlist`.  Portions not covered
        by any condition have undefined values.

    Notes
    -----
    This is similar to choose or select, except that functions are
    evaluated on elements of `x` that satisfy the corresponding condition from
    `condlist`.

    The result is::

            |--
            |funclist[0](x[condlist[0]])

    If positive or negative infinity are present the result is positive or
    negative infinity. But if both positive and negative infinity are present,
    the result is Not A Number (NaN).

    Arithmetic is modular when using integer types (all elements of `a` must
    be finite i.e. no elements that are NaNs, positive infinity and negative
    infinity because NaNs are floating point types), and no error is raised
    on overflow.

class vectorize(object):

    vectorize(pyfunc, otypes='', doc=None)

    Generalized function class.

    Define a vectorized function which takes a nested sequence
    of objects or numpy arrays as inputs and returns a
    numpy array as output. The vectorized function evaluates `pyfunc` over
    successive tuples of the input arrays like the python map function,
    except it uses the broadcasting rules of numpy.

    The data type of the output of `vectorized` is determined by calling
    the function with the first element of the input.  This can be avoided
    by specifying the `otypes` argument.

    Parameters
    ----------
    pyfunc : callable
        A python function or method.
    otypes : str or list of dtypes, optional
        The output data type. It must be specified as either a string of
        typecode characters or a list of data type specifiers. There should
        be one data type specifier for each output.
    doc : str, optional
        The docstring for the function. If None, the docstring will be the
        `pyfunc` one.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> def myfunc(a, b):
    ...     \"\"\"Return a-b if a>b, otherwise return a+b\"\"\"
    ...     if a > b:
    ...         return a - b
    ...     else:

    >>> vfunc = np.vectorize(myfunc)
    >>> vfunc([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)
    array([3, 4, 1, 2])

    The docstring is taken from the input function to `vectorize` unless it
    is specified

    >>> vfunc.__doc__
    'Return a-b if a>b, otherwise return a+b'
    >>> vfunc = np.vectorize(myfunc, doc='Vectorized `myfunc`')
    >>> vfunc.__doc__
    'Vectorized `myfunc`'

    The output type is determined by evaluating the first element of the input,
    unless it is specified

    >>> out = vfunc([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)
    >>> type(out[0])
    <type 'numpy.int32'>

    Estimate a covariance matrix, given data.

    Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together.
    If we examine N-dimensional samples, :math:`X = [x_1, x_2, ... x_N]^T`,
    then the covariance matrix element :math:`C_{ij}` is the covariance of
    :math:`x_i` and :math:`x_j`. The element :math:`C_{ii}` is the variance
    of :math:`x_i`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    m : array_like
        A 1-D or 2-D array containing multiple variables and observations.
        Each row of `m` represents a variable, and each column a single
        observation of all those variables. Also see `rowvar` below.
    y : array_like, optional
        An additional set of variables and observations. `y` has the same
        form as that of `m`.
    rowvar : int, optional
        If `rowvar` is non-zero (default), then each row represents a
        variable, with observations in the columns. Otherwise, the relationship
        is transposed: each column represents a variable, while the rows
        contain observations.
    bias : int, optional
        Default normalization is by ``(N-1)``, where ``N`` is the number of
        observations given (unbiased estimate). If `bias` is 1, then
        normalization is by ``N``.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        The covariance matrix of the variables.

    See Also
    --------
    corrcoef : Normalized covariance matrix

    Examples
    --------
    Consider two variables, :math:`x_0` and :math:`x_1`, which
    correlate perfectly, but in opposite directions:

    >>> x = np.array([[0, 2], [1, 1], [2, 0]]).T
    >>> x
    array([[0, 1, 2],
           [2, 1, 0]])

    Note how :math:`x_0` increases while :math:`x_1` decreases. The covariance
    matrix shows this clearly:

    >>> np.cov(x)
    array([[ 1., -1.],
           [-1.,  1.]])

    Note that element :math:`C_{0,1}`, which shows the correlation between
    :math:`x_0` and :math:`x_1`, is negative.

    Further, note how `x` and `y` are combined:

    >>> x = [-2.1, -1,  4.3]
    >>> y = [3,  1.1,  0.12]

    smoothing values.  It is also known as an apodization (which means
    "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning
    and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function. It is known as a
    "near optimal" tapering function, almost as good (by some measures)
    as the kaiser window.

    discontinuities at the beginning and end of the sampled signal) or
    tapering function. The fourier transform of the Bartlett is the product
    of two sinc functions.

def kaiser(M,beta):

    Return the Kaiser window.

    The Kaiser window is a taper formed by using a Bessel function.

    Parameters
    ----------
    M : int
        Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an
        empty array is returned.
    beta : float
        Shape parameter for window.

    Returns
    -------
    out : array
        The window, normalized to one (the value one
        appears only if the number of samples is odd).

    See Also
    --------
    bartlett, blackman, hamming, hanning

    Notes
    -----
    The Kaiser window is defined as

    .. math::  w(n) = I_0\\left( \\beta \\sqrt{1-\\frac{4n^2}{(M-1)^2}}
               \\right)/I_0(\\beta)

    with

    .. math:: \\quad -\\frac{M-1}{2} \\leq n \\leq \\frac{M-1}{2},

    where :math:`I_0` is the modified zeroth-order Bessel function.

    The Kaiser was named for Jim Kaiser, who discovered a simple approximation
    to the DPSS window based on Bessel functions.
    The Kaiser window is a very good approximation to the Digital Prolate
    Spheroidal Sequence, or Slepian window, which is the transform which
    maximizes the energy in the main lobe of the window relative to total
    energy.

    The Kaiser can approximate many other windows by varying the beta
    parameter.

    ====  =======================
    beta  Window shape
    ====  =======================
    0     Rectangular
    5     Similar to a Hamming
    6     Similar to a Hanning
    8.6   Similar to a Blackman
    ====  =======================

    A beta value of 14 is probably a good starting point. Note that as beta
    gets large, the window narrows, and so the number of samples needs to be
    large enough to sample the increasingly narrow spike, otherwise nans will
    get returned.


    Most references to the Kaiser window come from the signal processing
    literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for
    smoothing values.  It is also known as an apodization (which means
    "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning
    and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function.

    Parameters
    ----------

        Array (possibly multi-dimensional) of values for which to to

    Notes
    -----
    ``sinc(0)`` is the limit value 1.

    The name sinc is short for "sine cardinal" or "sinus cardinalis".

    The sinc function is used in various signal processing applications,
    including in anti-aliasing, in the construction of a
    Lanczos resampling filter, and in interpolation.

    For bandlimited interpolation of discrete-time signals, the ideal
    interpolation kernel is proportional to the sinc function.
