Dependencies

Python >= 3.6 (earlier version might be applicable).
Numpy, SciPy (A speical function scipy.special.iv is used to compute the modified Bessel function of the first kind of real order).
For the parallel implementation of the (extended) SCMS algorithms, sconce-scms leverages Ray , a fast and simple distributed computing API for Python and Java.
(Optional) To visualize the estimated filaments by sconce-scms, one can resort to the Matplotlib package in python, especially the Basemap toolkit. We provide a guideline about installing the Basemap toolkit on Ubuntu.

To use a stable release of SCONCE-SCMS, install it using pip:

pip install sconce-scms

The Pypi version is updated regularly. For the latest update, however, one should clone from GitHub and install it directly:

git clone https://github.com/zhangyk8/sconce-scms.git
cd sconce-scms
python setup.py
