A Python package for Phillip's helper and utility functions, especially for EEG and statistics.

(tests not yet implemented)

Philistine is a collection of hopefully useful functions in Python for statistics and analysis of EEG data using existing packages in the Python ecosystem. It is not intended to be a standalone package, but rather a convenient way to distribute manipulations that I (Phillip) find useful in my own work.

This is very much alpha software under active development and the API is subject to change in a rather volatile fashion as improvements, corrections, etc. are made. The idea is provide a convenient way to redistribute functions that I (Phillip) find useful. The hope is that many of these functions are eventually integrated into packages such as MNE, bambi, etc. At that point, the functions will be changed into thin wrappers for those other packages, deprecated and eventually removed.

Philistine requires a working Python interpreter (either 2.7+ or 3+).

Assuming a standard Python environment is installed on your machine (including pip), Philistine itself can be installed in one line using pip:

python -m pip install --user --upgrade philistine

Alternatively, if you want the bleeding edge version of the package, you can install from GitLab:

python -m pip install --user --upgrade  git+https://gitlab.com/palday/philistine.git

Dependencies should be handled automatically by pip.

The primary hosting for this project is on GitLab, and issues should be raised there. A GitHub mirror is provided for convenience and redundancy. Pull requests can be made on either site.
