TypeError when analysing EDA about neurokit.py

[DominiqueMakowski]

@jaros1024 That's weird indeed, I'll look at it :)
Could you tell me what is your version of NeuroKit and Biosppy?

[jaros1024]

I just noticed that I had NeuroKit version 0.2.0 installed, but just updated to 0.2.7 and the problem is still the same. Biosppy is 0.6.1 - so I haven't changed anything.

[DominiqueMakowski]

Great, could you provide a sample of data and a reproducible code snippet so that I can reproduce it and dig into it? Thanks!

[jaros1024]

Sure! See the attached file. It's just a pickle dump, so you can open it like:

import pickle

def open_file(in_file):
    with open(in_file, 'rb') as fp:
        itemlist = pickle.load(fp)
        return itemlist

sample.zip

It works for me with this code:

import pickle
import neurokit as nk
import pandas as pd

def open_file(in_file):
    with open(in_file, 'rb') as fp:
        itemlist = pickle.load(fp)
        return itemlist


data = open_file("sample.dat")
data = pd.DataFrame({"EDA" : data})  # Convert to dataframe
data.plot()  # Check signal

results = nk.eda_process(data["EDA"], sampling_rate=100)

# Plot standardized data (visually more clear) wiht SCR peaks markers
nk.plot_events_in_signal(nk.z_score(results["df"]), results["EDA"]["SCR_Peaks_Indexes"])

However, make sure to adjust correctly your sampling_rate (I set to 100 for illustrative purposes)

[jaros1024]

Thanks! Do you think the error might be caused by wrong sampling_rate? To be honest, my data is so poorly documented that I won't be surprised if the sampling rate in documentation is wrong :)

[jaros1024]

Just copied and pasted your code. I got an another error:

NeuroKit Warning: eda_process(): Error in cvxEDA algorithm, couldn't extract phasic and tonic components. Using raw signal.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Jarek/PycharmProjects/emotion-predictor/test.py", line 22, in <module>
    nk.plot_events_in_signal(nk.z_score(results["df"]), results["EDA"]["SCR_Peaks_Indexes"])
  File "C:\Users\Jarek\PycharmProjects\emotion-predictor\venv\lib\site-packages\neurokit\signal\events.py", line 271, in plot_events_in_signal
    len(events_onsets[0])
IndexError: index 0 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 0

So it looks like something is wrong with my configuration. What cvxopt version do you use? Mine is 1.2.1.

// never mind, downgraded to Python 3.6 and looks like it works.

@jaros1024 Ok it's good that it works, but I'll try to understand what was wrong with 3.7 and fix it :) thanks for reporting!
