****

Overview and scope
------------------

The open-source Python package **pyam** provides a suite of tools and functions
for analyzing and visualizing input data (i.e., assumptions/parametrization) 
and results (model output) of integrated-assessment models,
macro-energy scenarios, energy systems analysis, and sectoral studies.

The comprehensive **documentation** is hosted on [Read the Docs](https://pyam-iamc.readthedocs.io)!

### Key features

 - Simple analysis of scenario timeseries data with an interface similar in feel & style
   to the widely used [pandas.DataFrame](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.html)
 - Advanced visualization and plotting functions
   (see the [gallery](https://pyam-iamc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gallery/index.html))
 - Scripted validation and processing of scenario data and results

### Timeseries types & data formats

#### Yearly data

The pyam package was initially developed to work with the *IAMC template*,
a timeseries format for *yearly data* developed and used by the
[Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium](https://www.iamconsortium.org) (IAMC).

| **model** | **scenario** | **region** | **variable**   | **unit** | **2005** | **2010** | **2015** |
|-----------|--------------|------------|----------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| MESSAGE   | CD-LINKS 400 | World      | Primary Energy | EJ/y     |    462.5 |    500.7 |      ... |
| ...       | ...          | ...        | ...            | ...      |      ... |      ... |      ... |

*An illustration of the IAMC template using a scenario
from the [CD-LINKS](https://www.cd-links.org) project*  
*via the The [IAMC 1.5°C Scenario Explorer](https://data.ece.iiasa.ac.at/iamc-1.5c-explorer)*

#### Subannual time resolution

The package also supports timeseries data with a *sub-annual time resolution*:
 - Continuous-time data using the Python [datetime format](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html)
 - "Representative timeslices" (e.g., "winter-night", "summer-day")
   using the pyam *extra-columns* feature 
   

[Read the docs](https://pyam-iamc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/data.html)
for more information about the pyam data model
or look at the [data-table tutorial](https://pyam-iamc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/data_table_formats.html)
to see how to cast from a variety of timeseries formats to a **pyam.IamDataFrame**.
