pyepr.SNRCriteria

class pyepr.SNRCriteria(SNR_target, description='', verbosity=0, **kwargs)

Bases: Criteria

A class for defining criteria for terminating experiments. This should only be subclassed and not used directly.

Criteria testing for signal to noise ratio. This checks the SNR of the normalised absolute data using the deerlab SNR noise estimation which is based on the work by Stoher et. al. [1]

Parameters:
namestr

_description_

SNR_targetint

The mimimum SNR value.

descriptionstr, optional

_description_, by default None

Parameters:
  • SNR_target (int)

  • description (str)
