## Key Features

- **Acoustic indicators** - Implements standard (Leq, Lden, L90, etc.) and research-based noise indicators (HARMONICA, Number of Noise Events, etc.)
- **Flexible data loading** - Support for CSV, Excel, and TXT formats with automatic datetime parsing
- **Two analysis modes** - Summary indicators (discrete values) and profile indicators (time series)
- **Multiprocessing support** - Fast processing of large datasets
- **Easy visualization** - Built-in plotting functions with customizable styles
- **Data coverage validation** - Automated quality checks with configurable thresholds
- **Weather integration** - [Canada only] Merge and analyze data with Canadian weather station data

## Installation

Install from PyPI:
```bash
pip install noisemonitor
```

For weather integration (Canada only):
```bash
pip install noisemonitor[weather]
```

Install the latest development version:
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/valerianF/noisemonitor
```

## Quick Start

**noisemonitor** is designed for flexibility and ease of use. All analysis functions accept an optional `column` parameter, allowing you to specify which data column to analyze (e.g., to work with datasets containing multiple sound level measurements or frequency bands). Most functions return results as pandas DataFrames for easy manipulation.

```python
import noisemonitor as nm

# Load data
df_1m = nm.load(
    'tests/data/test_data_laeq1m.csv',
    datetimeindex=0, # Column index for datetime
    valueindexes=1,  # Column index(es) for sound levels
    header=0,        # Header row index
    sep=','
)

# Compute Lden
lden = nm.summary.lden(df_1m)
lden.head()
```

| lden | lday  | levening | lnight |
|------|-------|----------|--------|
| 56.1 | 51.75 | 50.08    | 49.23  |

```python
# Compute weekly profiles
weekday_profile = nm.profile.periodic(
    df_1m,
    hour1=23,
    hour2=22,
    day1='monday',
    day2='friday',
    win=3600,    # 1-hour window
    step=1200    # 20-minute step
)

weekend_profile = nm.profile.periodic(
    df_1m,
    hour1=23,
    hour2=22,
    day1='saturday',
    day2='sunday',
    win=3600,
    step=1200
)

# Visualize
nm.display.compare(
    [weekday_profile, weekend_profile],
    ['Weekday', 'Weekend'],
    'Leq',
    fill_background=True,
    title='Weekly Noise Profiles'
)
```

![Weekly Noise Profiles](docs/images/weekly_noise_profiles.png)

```python
# Computa HARMONICA indexes
harmonica = nm.summary.harmonica_periodic(df_1s) # requires 1s resolution data
nm.display.harmonica(harmonica) # Visualize
```

## Core Modules

### `nm.load()`
Load data from CSV, Excel, or TXT files (or list of files) with automatic datetime parsing.

```python
df = nm.load('data.csv', datetimeindex=0, valueindexes=1, header=0, sep=',')
```

### `nm.filter`
Filter data by datetime, remove outliers, or filter by weather conditions.

```python
df_filtered = nm.filter.extreme_values(df, min_value=30, max_value=100)
```

### `nm.summary`
Compute discrete sound level indicators: Leq, Lden, HARMONICA, frequency analysis, histograms, etc.

```python
overall_lden = nm.summary.lden(df)
daily_lden = nm.summary.periodic(df, freq='D')
harmonica = nm.summary.harmonica_periodic(df)
freq_summary = nm.summary.freq_periodic(df_freq, freq='D')
```

### `nm.profile`
Compute time-varying sound level profiles: time series, daily/weekly patterns, number of noise events, etc.

```python
time_series = nm.profile.series(df, win=3600, step=1200)
weekday_profile = nm.profile.periodic(df, hour1=0, hour2=23, day1='monday', day2='friday', win=3600)
nne_profile = nm.profile.nne(df, hour1=0, hour2=23, background_type='L50', exceedance=5)
```

### `nm.display`
Visualize results with line plots, heatmaps, and more.

```python
nm.display.line(time_series, 'Leq', 'L10', 'L90', title='Noise Levels')
nm.display.compare([weekday_profile, weekend_profile], ['Weekdays', 'Weekend'], 'Leq')
nm.display.freq_map(freq_data['Leq'], title='Frequency Heatmap')
```

### `nm.weather` (Canada only)
Integrate Environment Canada weather data to analyze weather impact on noise.

```python
stations = nm.weather.weathercan.get_historical_stations(coordinates=[45.5, -73.6], radius=25)
df_weather = await nm.weather.weathercan.merge_weather(df, station_id=30165, wind_speed_flag=18)
contingency = nm.weather.weathercan.contingency_weather_flags(df_weather)
```
