sdu_estimators

A C++ library containing estimators developed at University of Southern Denmark (SDU).

Prerequisites

Building sdu_estimators requires the following software installed:

• A C++17-compliant compiler
• CMake >= 3.9
• Eigen3 >= 3.3 for linear algebra.
• Doxygen (optional, documentation building is skipped if missing)
• Python >= 3.8 for building Python bindings

Building sdu_estimators

The following sequence of commands builds sdu_estimators. It assumes that your current working directory is the top-level directory of the freshly cloned repository:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .

The build process can be customized with the following CMake variables, which can be set by adding -D<var>={ON, OFF} to the cmake call:

• BUILD_TESTING: Enable building of the test suite (default: ON)
• BUILD_DOCS: Enable building the documentation (default: ON)
• BUILD_PYTHON: Enable building the Python bindings (default: ON)

If you wish to build and install the project as a Python project without having access to C++ build artifacts like libraries and executables, you can do so using pip from the root directory:

python -m pip install .

Testing sdu_estimators

When built according to the above explanation (with -DBUILD_TESTING=ON), the C++ test suite of sdu_estimators can be run using ctest from the build directory:

cd build
ctest

The Python test suite can be run by first pip-installing the Python package and then running pytest from the top-level directory:

python -m pip install .
pytest

Documentation

sdu_estimators provides a Sphinx-based documentation, that can be browsed online at readthedocs.org. To build it locally, first ensure the requirements are installed by running this command from the top-level source directory:

pip install -r doc/requirements.txt

Then build the sphinx documentation from the top-level build directory:

cmake --build . --target sphinx-doc

The web documentation can then be browsed by opening doc/sphinx/index.html in your browser.
