watex.methods.AqSection

class watex.methods.AqSection(aqname=None, kname=None, zname=None, **kws)

Aquifer section class

Get the section of each aquifer from dataframe.

The unique section ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ is the valid range of the whole data to consider as a valid data. Indeed, the aquifer section computing is necessary to shrunk the data of the whole boreholes. Mosly the data from the section is consided the valid data as the predictor Xr. Out of the range of aquifers ection, data can be discarded or compressed to top Xr.

Parameters:

• aqname (str, optional,) –

  Name of aquifer group column. aqname allows to retrieve the

  aquifer group arr_aq value in a specific dataframe. Commonly

  aqname needs to be supplied when a dataframe is passed as a positional

  or keyword argument. Note that it is not mandatory to have a group of aquifer in the log data. It is needed only if the label similarity needs to be calculated.

• kname (str, int) –

  Name of permeability coefficient columns. kname allows to retrieve the

  permeability coefficient ‘k’ in a specific dataframe. If integer is passed, it assumes the index of the dataframe fits the ‘k’ columns. Note that integer value must not be out the dataframe size along axis 1. Commonly

  kname needs to be supplied when a dataframe is passed as a positional

  or keyword argument.

• zname (str, int) – Name of depth columns. zname allows to retrieve the depth column in a dataframe. If integer is passed, it assumes the index of the dataframe fits the depth column. Integer value must not be out the dataframe size along axis 1. Commonly `zname`needs to be supplied when a dataframe is passed to a function argument.
