Overview

cactice stands for computing agricultural crop lattices. This repository explores questions about regular spatial arrangements of plant phenotypes (e.g., in a field or greenhouse). For instance:

• How does environmental context influence morphological development?
• What mechanisms underlie spatial patterning?
• Is a given phenotype distribution highly structured or mostly random? In either case, why?
• If structure is evident, can we formalize or predict it? If so, from which (and how much) information?

This repository is exploratory, unstable, and currently very minimal.

Usage

Check out the notebooks/explore.ipynb notebook for some examples.

Conventions

This library makes several assumptions about datasets to which the user must conform:

• Class values are parsed as strings (and mapped internally to integers). Each distinct string is a class, regardless of numeric value: for instance, 9.5 and 9.5000 are considered distinct.
