Description

This improves the frequency_average method in the following ways:

  • Add support for multiple spectral windows.
  • New respect_spws parameter to control whether averaging can cross spectral window boundaries or not (default is True to disallow averaging over boundaries).
  • Add support for keeping the ragged frequencies if the number of frequencies in each spectral window does not divide evenly by the number of channels being averaged.

Motivation and Context

closes #913

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation change (documentation changes only)
  • Version change
  • Build or continuous integration change

Checklist:

New feature checklist:

  • I have added or updated the docstrings associated with my feature using the numpy docstring format.
  • I have updated the tutorial to highlight my new feature (if appropriate).
  • I have added tests to cover my new feature.
  • All new and existing tests pass.
  • I have updated the CHANGELOG.

The test errors are due to deprecation warnings issued by numpy 1.25. Fixed in #1308

Hey @bhazelton -- overall I think this is looking pretty good! One general comment, I think the frequency_average method could benefit from some additional comments within the code itself (there was a fair bit of jumping back and forth to try to understand the underlying logic of what was going on), but other than that mot much more than few small optimizations.

If may be nice to have some user-specified control on the channel at which you start averaging, particularly in the "ragged" case.

I agree that it would be nice to allow the user to have more detailed control. We thought about something like you're suggesting, but as we thought about it seemed more complicated than just specifying where you start, e.g. what do you do with all the frequencies before the starting place? It seems to me that the most flexible thing would be to allow users to pass in an integer array that specifies which final channel to put each input channel into (and allowing the user to drop channels by specifying -1 in this array). But we decided to just do the obvious incremental improvement for now and wait to see what users request.

We talked more about this on the telecon and decided that this kind of input array would make it fully flexible for the power user. I made an issue to this effect (#1311) so we don't lose track of the idea.

I added a bunch of comments, let me know if they meet your needs.

Thanks @bhazelton, I think this looks good -- at least I found no glaring issues!
