<p>In many signal and image processing applications, correlation and power spectrum have been used as primary tools; the information contained in the power spectrum is provided by auto-correlation and is sufficient for complete statistical descriptions of Gaussian signals of known means. However, there exist some practical situations where one needs to look beyond auto-correlation operation to extract information pertaining to deviation from Gaussianity and the presence of phase relations. Higher Order Statistics (HOS) are the extensions of second order measures to higher orders and have proven to be useful in problems where non-gaussianity, non-minimal phase or non-linearity has some role to play. In recent years, the field of HOS has continued its expansion, and applications have been found in fields as diverse as economics, speech, medical, seismic data processing, plasma physics and optics. In this paper, we present a module named PyHOS, which provides elementary higher order statistics functions in Python and further discuss an application of HOS for biomedical signals. This module makes use of SciPy, Numpy and Matplotlib libraries in Python. To evaluate the module, we experimented with several complex signals and compared the results with equivalent procedures in MATLAB. The results showed that PyHOS is excellent module to analyze or study signals using their higher order statistics features.</p>

<p>This paper introduces the PyHHT project. The aim of the project is to develop a Python toolbox for the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) for nonlinear and nonstationary data analysis. The HHT is an algorithmic tool particularly useful for the time-frequency analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary data. It uses an iterative algorithm called Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to break a signal down into so-called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). These IMFs are characterized by being piecewise narrowband and amplitude/frequency modulated, thus making them suitable for Hilbert spectral analysis.</p>

<p>HHT is primarily an algorithmic tool and is relatively simple to implement. Therefore, even a crude implementation of the HHT is quite powerful for a given class of signals. Thus, one of the motivations for building a toolbox is to sustain the power of HHT across a variety of applications. This can be achieved by bringing together different heuristics associated with HHT on one programming platform (since HHT is largely algorithmic, there are a great many heuristics). It is thus the purpose of the toolbox to provide those implementations of the HHT that are popular in the literature. Along with making the application of HHT more dexterous and flexible, the toolbox will also be a good research tool as it provides a platform for comparison of different HHT implementations. It also supports comparison with conventional data analysis tools like Fourier and Wavelets.</p>

<p>Most of the existing implementations of the HHT have functions that are drawn from different numerical computing packages, and hence are generalized, not optimized particularly for HHT. PyHHT includes functions that are optimized specifically for analysis with HHT. They are designed to operate at the least possible computational complexity, thus greatly increasing the performance of the analysis. The paper includes examples of such components of EMD which have been optimized to operate at the least possible expense – in comparison with conventional implementations. This optimization can be done in a number of ways. One example of optimizing conventional algorithms for PyHHT discussed in the paper is that of cubic spline interpolation. It is a major bottleneck in the EMD method (needs to be performed twice over the entire range of the signal in a single iteration). Most implementations for cubic splines involve the use of Gaussian elimination, whereas for PyHHT the much simpler tridiagonal system of equations will suffice. Furthermore, it can be improved using many different methods like using NumPy vectorization, the weave and blitz functions in SciPy, or by using the Python-C/C++ API. Thus, the portability of Python comes in handy when optimizing the algorithm on so many different levels. The paper also discusses the possibility of further improving such functions that are the biggest bottlenecks in the EMD algorithm.</p>

<p>Other heuristics of the HHT include imposing different stopping conditions for the iterative EMD process. Once the IMFs of the original signal are obtained, their time-frequency-energy distributions can be obtained. PyHHT uses Matplotlib to visualize the distributions. The IMFs can further be used in computer vision and machine learning applications. PyHHT uses a number of statistical and information theoretic screening tools to detect the useful IMFs from among the decomposed data.</p>

<p>The rapid development cycle and performance makes Python as a preferred choice for HPC applications. Python is an interpreted language , running on Python Virtual Machine. Python VM then translates and executes byte-code on native platform. A Python application follows classical phases of compilation and byte-code generation is very similar to intermediate code. The byte-codes are platform neutral and enables Python applications with the power of portability. Performance of a Python application could factored on:
