PeakFinder

class PeakFinder(settings: Optional[dict] = None)

Bases: MetaEventFitter

Abstract base class to analyze and flag the start and end times of regions of interest in a timeseries for further analysis.

Public Methods

PeakFinder.close_resources(channel=None)

Perform any actions necessary to gracefully close resources before app exit

PeakFinder.construct_fitted_event(channel, index)

Construct an array of data corresponding to the peaks for the specified event

Parameters:
  • channel (int) – analyze only events from this channel

  • index (int) – the index of the target event

Returns:

numpy array of peaked data for the event, or None

Return type:

Optional[npt.NDArray[np.float64]]

Raises:

RuntimeError – if peakfinding is not complete yet

PeakFinder.enumerate_peaks(sublevel_starts, num_states)

Assign unique peak IDs to sublevels labeled as ‘peak’.

Parameters:
  • sublevel_starts (list[dict]) – List of dictionaries describing sublevels, each with a ‘type’ key.

  • num_states (int) – Total number of sublevels to process.

Returns:

List of peak IDs or None for non-peak sublevels.

Return type:

list[Optional[int]]

PeakFinder.filter_peaks(peaks, properties, unfolded_level, baseline_std, baseline, samplerate)

Filters peaks based on their level and proximity, classifying potential bundles or barcode features. - Type 1: Peaks on the same DNA carrier level (both bases around unfolded_level). - Type 2: Peaks higher than the carrier level (both bases above unfolded_level). - Type 3: Clusters (bundles) of close peaks with same type (1 or 2).

PeakFinder.find_unfolded_blockage_level(data, max_unfolded, baseline_mean, baseline_std)

Estimate the level of unfolded blockage based on data distribution.

Parameters:
  • data (numpy.ndarray) – Array of current values or similar signal to analyze.

  • max_unfolded (float) – Maximum allowed distance from the baseline to consider as unfolded.

  • baseline_mean (float) – Mean value of the baseline level.

  • baseline_std (float) – Standard deviation of the baseline level.

Returns:

Estimated unfolded blockage level.

Return type:

float

PeakFinder.get_empty_settings(globally_available_plugins=None, standalone=False)
Parameters:
  • globally_available_plugins (Optional[ Mapping[str, List[str]]]) – a dict containing all data plugins that exist to date, keyed by metaclass. Must include “MetaReader” as a key, with explicitly set Type MetaReader.

  • standalone (bool) – False if this is called as part of a GUI, True otherwise. Default False

Returns:

the dict that must be filled in to initialize the filter

Return type:

Mapping[str, Mapping[str, Union[int, float, str, list[Union[int,float,str,None], None]]]]

Purpose: Provide a list of settings details to users to assist in instantiating an instance of your MetaEventFinder subclass.

Get a dict populated with keys needed to initialize the filter if they are not set yet. This dict must have the following structure, but Min, Max, and Options can be skipped or explicitly set to None if they are not used. Value and Type are required. All values provided must be consistent with Type.

Your Eventfinder MUST include at least the “MetaReader” key, which can be ensured by calling super().get_empty_settings(globally_available_plugins, standalone) before adding any additional settings keys

This function must implement returning of a dictionary of settings required to initialize the filter, in the specified format. Values in this dictionary can be accessed downstream through the self.settings class variable. This structure is a nested dictionary that supplies both values and a variety of information about those values, used by poriscope to perform sanity and consistency checking at instantiation.

While this function is technically not abstract in MetaEventFinder, which already has an implementation of this function that ensures that settings will have the required MetaReader key available to users, in most cases you will need to override it to add any other settings required by your subclass. If you need additional settings, which you almost ccertainly do, you MUST call super().get_empty_settings(globally_available_plugins, standalone) before any additional code that you add. For example, your implementation could look like this:

settings = super().get_empty_settings(globally_available_plugins, standalone)
settings["Threshold"] = {"Type": float,
                        "Value": None,
                        "Min": 0.0,
                        "Units": "pA"
                        }
settings["Min Duration"] = {"Type": float,
                            "Value": 0.0,
                            "Min": 0.0,
                            "Units": "us"
                            }
settings["Max Duration"] = {"Type": float,
                            "Value": 1000000.0,
                            "Min": 0.0,
                            "Units": "us"
                            }
settings["Min Separation"] = {"Type": float,
                                "Value": 0.0,
                                "Min": 0.0,
                                "Units": "us"
                            }
return settings

which will ensure that your have the 3 keys specified above, as well as an additional key, "MetaReader", as required by eventfinders. In the case of categorical settings, you can also supply the “Options” key in the second level dictionaries.

PeakFinder.get_plot_features(channel: int, index: int) Tuple[List[float] | None, List[float] | None, List[Tuple[float, float]] | None, List[str] | None, List[str] | None, List[str] | None]

PeakFinder._init() None

called at the start of base class initialization

PeakFinder._locate_sublevel_transitions(data, samplerate, padding_before, padding_after, baseline_mean, baseline_std)

Get a list of indices corresponding to the starting point of all sublevels within an event. Will be pre-pended with 0 if 0 is not the first entry. Plugin must handle gracefully the case where any of the arguments except data are None, as not all event loaders are guaranteed to return these values. Raising an an acceptable handler.

Parameters:
  • data (npt.NDArray[np.float64]) – an array of data from which to extract the locations of sublevel transitions

  • samplerate (float) – the sampling rate

  • padding_before (Optional[int]) – the number of data points before the estimated start of the event in the chunk

  • padding_after (Optional[int]) – the number of data points after the estimated end of the event in the chunk

  • baseline_mean (Optional[float]) – the local mean value of the baseline current

  • baseline_std (Optional[float]) – the local standard deviation of the baseline current

Returns:

a list of integers corresponding to sublevel transitions

Return type:

Raises:
  • ValueError – if the event is rejected. Note that ValueError will skip and reject the event but will not stop processing of the rest of the dataset

  • AttributeError – if the fitting method cannot operate without provision of specific padding and baseline metadata and cannot rescue itself. This will cause a stop to processing of the dataset.

PeakFinder._populate_event_metadata(data, samplerate, baseline_mean, baseline_std, sublevel_metadata)

Assemble a list of metadata to save in the event database later. Note that keys ‘start_time_s’ and ‘index’ are already handled in the base class and should not be touched here.

a dict of event metadata values

Return type:

Mapping[str, float]

PeakFinder._populate_sublevel_metadata(data, samplerate, baseline_mean, baseline_std, sublevel_starts)
