What it is?

This is an interface to the Match package developed by Lorraine Lisiecki which implements a method for alignement of data series with similar shape. For a complete description of the method please check:

Lisiecki, L. E., and P. A. Lisiecki, Application of dynamic programming to the correlation of paleoclimate records, Paleoceanography, 17(D4), 1049, doi:10.1029/2001PA000733, 2002.

Match package is available from: http://www.lorraine-lisiecki.com/match.html

What is inside?

• This is a Python Wrapper;
• This is not Match;
• But it can help you a lot ;) !

The package comes with:

1. A setup script that fetchs and compiles match tool in a Linux box (check SRC/setup.sh)
2. A Python package (Match.py) with classes that represents the
3. Data Serie file as used by Match (Class Serie)
4. A match config file with capabilities to run match from within Python ambient (MatchConfFile)
5. A match log file
6. An optimization class that runs match while accumulating match log files objects that could be used to obtain an age-model.
7. A Jupyter Notebook demonstrating some capabilities of the MatchPyGui classes for easy startup

How do I start?

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/marcelobianchi/pymatch.git

2. Obtain and compile Match Software

cd pymatch/SRC
bash setup.sh

3. Check that match file is compiled and in place. It should resides inside pymatch folder, the same one with the Jupyter Notebook.

4. Start the notebook
