ordpy: A Python Package for Data Analysis with Permutation Entropy and Ordinal Network Methods

ordpy is a pure Python module [1] that implements data analysis methods based on Bandt and Pompe's [2] symbolic encoding scheme.

ordpy implements the following data analysis methods:

• Permutation entropy for time series [2] and images [3];
• Complexity-entropy plane for time series [4], [5] and images [3];
• Multiscale complexity-entropy plane for time series [6] and images [7];
• Tsallis [8] and Rényi [9] generalized complexity-entropy curves for time series and images;
• Ordinal networks for time series [10], [11] and images [12];
• Global node entropy of ordinal networks for time series [13], [11] and images [12].
• Missing ordinal patterns [14] and missing transitions between ordinal patterns [11] for time series and images.

For more detailed information about the methods implemented in ordpy, please consult its documentation.

Installing

Ordpy can be installed via the command line using

pip install ordpy

or you can directly clone its git repository:

git clone https://github.com/arthurpessa/ordpy.git
cd ordpy
pip install -e .

Basic usage

We provide a notebook illustrating how to use ordpy. This notebook reproduces all figures of our article [1]. The code below shows simple applications of ordpy.

#Complexity-entropy plane for logistic map and Gaussian noise.

import numpy as np
import ordpy
from matplotlib import pylab as plt

def logistic(a=4, n=100000, x0=0.4):
    x = np.zeros(n)
    x[0] = x0
    for i in range(n-1):
        x[i+1] = a*x[i]*(1-x[i])
    return(x)

time_series = [logistic(a) for a in [3.05, 3.55, 4]]
time_series += [np.random.normal(size=100000)]

HC = [ordpy.complexity_entropy(series, dx=4) for series in time_series]


f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8.19, 6.3))

for HC_, label_ in zip(HC, ['Period-2 (a=3.05)',
                            'Period-8 (a=3.55)',
                            'Chaotic (a=4)',
                            'Gaussian noise']):
    ax.scatter(*HC_, label=label_, s=100)

ax.set_xlabel('Permutation entropy, $H$')
ax.set_ylabel('Statistical complexity, $C$')

ax.legend()
