Fwd: [pyam] #release pyam v1.7.0 - Computing quantiles of scenario ensembles

[Daniel Huppmann]

Hi openmod community,

I don’t usually send pyam release announcements to consortium lists (to reduce spam), but my colleague Matt Gidden just added a feature that may be useful for many of you…

When analyzing large ensembles of scenarios, we often want to compute quantiles across the „spaghetti“ of timeseries data. pyam now has a feature to easily do this. Simply run

> df.compute.quantiles([0.25, 0.5, 0.75])

and then do further analysis or plot the data! See this tutorial for more information… 

And if you’re still reading this and thinking „well, it’s not difficult to compute quantiles, I can do that in five lines myself…“ - the whole point of the pyam package is to reduce common operations from five lines to one, and have that method be well-tested and easily chain-able to other operations, plotting or data i/o...

We’d appreciate any feedback or comments to make this even more useful.

Have a nice holiday season and good start into 2023!

All the best,

Daniel

Dear pyam user community,

I’m happy to announce a new release v1.7 of the pyam package!

# Highlight

- Add a feature to compute (weighted) quantiles for scenario data - see this tutorial!

- Implement a require_data() method for streamlined scenario validation

- Remove 'xls' as by-default-supported file format to harmonize behavior with pandas (but you can still use it, of course*)

[* simply install the package xlrd manually]

# API changes

The method compute_bias() was removed; please use compute.bias() instead.

# Dependency changes

This release removes xlrd as a required dependency; please install it explicitly for reading .xls files.

Please bump the minimum version of pandas to v1.2.0 to support automatic engine selection.

# Known issues

The latest release of the numpy package has some issues with the plotting library. For the time being, please stick with numpy<1.24.

# Join the Slack workspace?

If you want to ask questions or read tips-and-tricks from time to time on how to use pyam more effectively in your scenario analysis or data-viz work, maybe consider joining our Slack workspace?

For more information, please read the full release notes...

Best regards,
Daniel
