        What is it?
        -----------
        
        Pyleoclim is a Python package primarily geared towards the analysis and
        visualization of paleoclimate data. Such data often come in the form of
        timeseries with missing values and age uncertainties, and the package
        includes several-low level methods to deal with these issues, as well as
        high-level methods that re-use those to perform scientific workflows.
        
        The packages assumes that data are stored in the Linked Paleo Data
        (`LiPD <http://www.clim-past.net/12/1093/2016/>`__) format and makes
        extensive use of the `LiPD
        utilities <http://nickmckay.github.io/LiPD-utilities/>`__. The package
        is aware of age ensembles stored via LiPD and uses them for
        time-uncertain analyses very much like
        `GeoChronR <http://nickmckay.github.io/GeoChronR/>`__.
        
        **Current capabilities**: - binning - interpolation - plotting maps,
        timeseries, and basic age model information - paleo-aware correlation
        analysis (isopersistent, isospectral and classical t-test)
        
        **Future capabilities**: - spectral analysis (Multi-Taper Method,
        Lomb-Scargle) - weighted wavelet Z transform (WWZ) - cross-wavelet
        analysis - index reconstruction - climate reconstruction - ensemble
        methods for all of the above

        Version Information
        -------------------
        
        0.1.1: Freezes the package before to version 0.1.8.2 of LiPD utilities
        0.1.0: First release
        
         Installation 
        --------------
        
        Python v3.5+ is required.
        
        Pyleoclim is published through PyPi and easily installed via ``pip``
        
        ::
        
            pip install pyleoclim
        
         Quickstart guide 
        ------------------
        
        1. Open your command line application (Terminal or Command Prompt).
        
        2. Install with command: ``pip install pyleoclim``
        
        3. Wait for installation to complete, then:
        
           3a. Import the package into your favorite Python environment (we
           recommend the use of Spyder, which comes standard with the Anaconda
           package)
        
           3b. Use Jupyter Notebook to go through the tutorial contained in the
           ``PyleoclimQuickstart.ipynb`` Notebook, which can be downloaded
           `here <https://github.com/LinkedEarth/Pyleoclim_util/tree/master/Example>`__.
        
        4. Help with functionalities can be found in the Documentation folder on
           our `GitHub
           repository <https://github.com/LinkedEarth/Pyleoclim_util>`__ and on
           Pypi.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        -  LiPD v0.1.8.2
        -  pandas v0.19+
        -  numpy v1.12+
        -  matplotlib v2.0+
        -  Cartopy v0.13+
        
        The installer will automatically check for the needed updates
        ***except*** for Cartopy.
        
        Cartopy doesn't install properly through pip. Use Conda. See the
        instructions on the developer website.
