3. Analysis modules¶
The MDAnalysis.analysis
module contains code to carry out
specific analysis functionality. It is based on the core functionality
(i.e. trajectory I/O, selections etc). The analysis modules can be
used as examples for how to use MDAnalysis but also as working code
for research projects; typically all contributed code has been used by
the authors in their own work.
Please see the individual module documentation for additional references and citation information.
These modules are not imported by default; in order to use them one
has to import them from MDAnalysis.analysis
, for instance
import MDAnalysis.analysis.align
Note
Some of the modules require additional Python packages such as
scipy
from the SciPy package or networkx
from
NetworkX. These package are not automatically installed (although
one can add the [analysis]
requirement to the
easy_install command line to force their installation.
