EOF analysis in Python
eofs is a Python package for performing empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis on spatial-temporal data sets, licensed under the GNU GPLv3.
The package was created to simplify the process of EOF analysis in the Python environment. Some of the key features are listed below:
eofs only requires the NumPy package (and setuptools to install). In order to use the meta-data preserving interfaces one (or more) of cdms2 (part of UV-CDAT), iris, or xarray is needed.
Documentation is available online. The package docstrings are also very complete and can be used as a source of reference when working interactively.
If you use eofs in published research, please cite it by referencing the peer-reviewed paper. You can additionally cite the Zenodo DOI if you need to cite a particular version (but please also cite the paper, it helps me justify my time working on this and similar projects).
eofs works on Python 2 or 3 on Linux, Windows or OSX. The easiest way to install eofs is by using conda or pip:
conda install -c conda-forge eofs
or
pip install eofs
You can also install from the source distribution:
python setup.py install
