Description: 
        # Supervised Learning Toolbox for Neural data
        
        This toolbox facilitates neural decoding of time series. Under the hood it uses scikit-learn functions.
        
        ## Set-up
        Install using pip
        
        ```unix
        pip install temp_dec
        ```
        
        
        ## Requirements
        
        ```Python
        sklearn==0.21.3
        numpy==1.13.1
        scipy==0.19.1
        ```
        
        ## Example
        This function takes in the data X (ndarray; trials by channels by time), labels y (ndarray; vector), and a time (ndarray, vector).
        
        ```Python
        from temp_dec import decoding_functions
        ```
        
        
        
        #### Using a sliding time window
        If there is information in the temporal dynamics of the signal, using a sliding time window will increase decoding accuracy (and smooth the signal). We also demean the signal within each window, this avoids the issue of baselining. 
        ```Python
        temporal_dymanics == True
        ```
        
        
        #### Applying PCA
        If you use a large amount of features, you might want to consider applying PCA to your features before applying your classifier. In addition, classifiers are sensitive to noise rejecting noise components from the data can be beneficial. 
        
        ```Python
        use_pca == True
        ```
        You can also regulate how many components you would like to keep (setting the pca_components variant to > 1) or how much variance you would like to explain (setting the pca_components variant to < 1). As a general rule of thumb maintaining 95% of variance will maintain enough signal and reduces feature space. 
        
        ```Python
        pca_components == .95
        ```
        
        
        
        #### Classifiers
        Different classifiers are supported, selected in accordance with Grootwagers et al (2017) j.cogn.neurosci.
        * LDA: linear disciminant analysis
        * LG: logistic regression
        * GNB: Gaussian Naive Bayes
        * maha: Nearest Neighbours using mahalanobis distance. 
        
        
        ```Python
        classifier == 'LDA'
        ```
