pyblock

pyblock implements the reblocking analysis (see, for example, the description given by Flyvbjerg and Petersen [1]), to remove serial correlation from a data set and hence obtain an improved estimate of the standard error. Functions for additional analysis, interpretation and manipulation of the resultant mean and standard error estimates are also provided.

A command-line interface is currently not provided but the API is simple to use from either a Python/IPython shell or to create an application-specific script.
