"""
sigma_clip(data, sigma=3, sigma_lower=None, sigma_upper=None, iters=5, cenfunc=np.ma.median, stdfunc=np.std, axis=None, copy=True)
Perform sigma-clipping on the provided data.
The data will be iterated over, each time rejecting points that are
discrepant by more than a specified number of standard deviations from a
center value. If the data contains invalid values (NaNs or infs),
they are automatically masked before performing the sigma clipping.
.. note::
`scipy.stats.sigmaclip
<http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.sigmaclip.html>`_
provides a subset of the functionality in this function.
Parameters
----------
data : array-like
The data to be sigma clipped.
sigma : float, optional
The number of standard deviations to use for both the lower and
upper clipping limit. These limits are overridden by
``sigma_lower`` and ``sigma_upper``, if input. Defaults to 3.
sigma_lower : float or `None`, optional
The number of standard deviations to use as the lower bound for
the clipping limit. If `None` then the value of ``sigma`` is
used. Defaults to `None`.
sigma_upper : float or `None`, optional
The number of standard deviations to use as the upper bound for
the clipping limit. If `None` then the value of ``sigma`` is
used. Defaults to `None`.
iters : int or `None`, optional
The number of iterations to perform sigma clipping, or `None` to
clip until convergence is achieved (i.e., continue until the
last iteration clips nothing). Defaults to 5.
cenfunc : callable, optional
The function used to compute the center for the clipping. Must
be a callable that takes in a masked array and outputs the
central value. Defaults to the median (`numpy.ma.median`).
stdfunc : callable, optional
The function used to compute the standard deviation about the
center. Must be a callable that takes in a masked array and
outputs a width estimator. Masked (rejected) pixels are those
where::
deviation < (-sigma_lower * stdfunc(deviation))
deviation > (sigma_upper * stdfunc(deviation))
where::
deviation = data - cenfunc(data [,axis=int])
Defaults to the standard deviation (`numpy.std`).
axis : int or `None`, optional
If not `None`, clip along the given axis. For this case,
``axis`` will be passed on to ``cenfunc`` and ``stdfunc``, which
are expected to return an array with the axis dimension removed
(like the numpy functions). If `None`, clip over all axes.
Defaults to `None`.
copy : bool, optional
If `True`, the ``data`` array will be copied. If `False`, the
returned masked array data will contain the same array as
``data``. Defaults to `True`.
Returns
-------
filtered_data : `numpy.ma.MaskedArray`
A masked array with the same shape as ``data`` input, where the
points rejected by the algorithm have been masked.
Notes
-----
1. The routine works by calculating::
deviation = data - cenfunc(data [,axis=int])
and then setting a mask for points outside the range::
deviation < (-sigma_lower * stdfunc(deviation))
deviation > (sigma_upper * stdfunc(deviation))
It will iterate a given number of times, or until no further
data are rejected.
2. Most numpy functions deal well with masked arrays, but if one
would like to have an array with just the good (or bad) values, one
can use::
good_only = filtered_data.data[~filtered_data.mask]
bad_only = filtered_data.data[filtered_data.mask]
However, for multidimensional data, this flattens the array,
which may not be what one wants (especially if filtering was
done along an axis).
Examples
--------
This example generates random variates from a Gaussian distribution
and returns a masked array in which all points that are more than 2
sample standard deviations from the median are masked::
>>> from astropy.stats import sigma_clip
>>> from numpy.random import randn
>>> randvar = randn(10000)
>>> filtered_data = sigma_clip(randvar, sigma=2, iters=5)
This example sigma clips on a similar distribution, but uses 3 sigma
relative to the sample *mean*, clips until convergence, and does not
copy the data::
>>> from astropy.stats import sigma_clip
>>> from numpy.random import randn
>>> from numpy import mean
>>> randvar = randn(10000)
>>> filtered_data = sigma_clip(randvar, sigma=3, iters=None,
... cenfunc=mean, copy=False)
This example sigma clips along one axis on a similar distribution
(with bad points inserted)::
>>> from astropy.stats import sigma_clip
>>> from numpy.random import normal
>>> from numpy import arange, diag, ones
>>> data = arange(5) + normal(0., 0.05, (5, 5)) + diag(ones(5))
>>> filtered_data = sigma_clip(data, sigma=2.3, axis=0)
Note that along the other axis, no points would be masked, as the
variance is higher.
