Sample Usage
------------

Here is a snippet of the userguide available at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66459905/site/index.html

Example 1
---------

Lotka Volterra Predator Prey Interaction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Lotka Volterra system is a simple model of predator-prey dynamics and consists of two coupled differentials. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra_equation

This is a simple example highlighting **EasyModler's** ability to integrate ODEs without complication! At a minimum to integrate we require:

1. A defined ODE function

2. A set of initial conditions as a list

3. Number of times to run the integrator


Declare an ODE_INT function in your source code. This will be passed to the **scipy.integrate.odeint** integrator

::

def LV_int(t,initial,dtinput,coefficients):
x = initial[0]
y = initial[1]
A = 1
B = 1
C = 1
D = 1

x_dot = (A * x) - (B * x *y)
y_dot = (D * x * y) - (C * y)

return [x_dot, y_dot]



Pass the ODE function to **emlib.Model** as

::

>>> import emlib
>>> LV = emlib.Model(LV_int)
INFO -512- New Model(1): LV_int
INFO -524- No algorithm supplied assuming vode/bfd O12 Nsteps3000

Now lets integrate our LV function for 200 timesteps!

::

>>> LV.Integrate([1,1],maxdt=200)
DEBUG -541- ODEINT Initials:11
DEBUG -579- Ending in 200 runs
DEBUG -600- Integration dT:0 of 200 Remaining:200
DEBUG -612- Completed Integration, created np.array shape:(200, 2)

The model output is stored in the **emlib.Model** object as arrays *computedT* and *computed*

::

>>> print LV.computed
[[ 0.37758677 2.93256414]
[ 0.13075395 1.32273451]
[ 0.14707288 0.55433421]
[ 0.27406944 0.24884565]


**EasyModeler** is organized where time is stored separately from data.
This is a design feature to aid processing timeseries data.
