pynapple.core.time_series.Ts.count#

Ts.count(*args, dtype=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Count occurences of events within bin_size or within a set of bins defined as an IntervalSet. You can call this function in multiple ways :

1. tsd.count(bin_size=1, time_units = ‘ms’) -> Count occurence of events within a 1 ms bin defined on the time support of the object.

2. tsd.count(1, ep=my_epochs) -> Count occurent of events within a 1 second bin defined on the IntervalSet my_epochs.

3. tsd.count(ep=my_bins) -> Count occurent of events within each epoch of the intervalSet object my_bins

4. tsd.count() -> Count occurent of events within each epoch of the time support.

bin_size should be seconds unless specified. If bin_size is used and no epochs is passed, the data will be binned based on the time support of the object.

Parameters:

  • bin_size (None or float, optional) – The bin size (default is second)

  • ep (None or IntervalSet, optional) – IntervalSet to restrict the operation

  • time_units (str, optional) – Time units of bin size (‘us’, ‘ms’, ‘s’ [default])

  • dtype (type, optional) – Data type for the count. Default is np.int64.

Returns:

out – A Tsd object indexed by the center of the bins.

Return type:

Tsd

Examples

This example shows how to count events within bins of 0.1 second.

>>> import pynapple as nap
>>> import numpy as np
>>> t = np.unique(np.sort(np.random.randint(0, 1000, 100)))
>>> ts = nap.Ts(t=t, time_units='s')
>>> bincount = ts.count(0.1)

An epoch can be specified:

>>> ep = nap.IntervalSet(start = 100, end = 800, time_units = 's')
>>> bincount = ts.count(0.1, ep=ep)

And bincount automatically inherit ep as time support:

>>> bincount.time_support
    start    end
0  100.0  800.0
