Simulated epochs data

Use fitgrid.generate to quickly generate small or large random data sets with categorical and random continuous predictor variables. The random values can be seeded for replicability.

The data can be returned in fitgrid Epochs format for immediate modeling or as a pandas.DataFrame. The latter is useful for mocking up the conversion from a dataframe to fitgrid.Epochs when developing an analysis pipeline.

Small data sets are useful for trying out features and functions. Larger sets are useful for testing system performance and limitations.

import fitgrid

Small random data set as fitgrid.Epochs

fitgrid.generate(n_samples=8, n_channels=4, seed=32)

Out:

<fitgrid.epochs.Epochs object at 0x7fcc054a86a0>

The same data as a pandas.DataFrame

fitgrid.generate(n_samples=8, n_channels=4, seed=32, return_type="dataframe")
