v0.2.5 (June 22, 2023)

These are minor changes in v0.2.4 that shows fugs fixed, features and improvements.

• API change watex.utils.plot_roc_curves() parameter all is deprecated and is replaced by kind. kind argument by default is set to inone which groups all the model plots into one figure. It can be individual or single to plot each model separately.

• Fix Fix AttributeError of interp_coords passed to watex.geology.DSBorehole. interp_coords is removed from watex.geology.DSBorehole and only available when using watex.geology.DSBoreholes.

• Fix watex.site.Location.to_latlon_in() and watex.site.Location.to_utm_in() henceforth accept a single float value for convertion operation.

• Major feature watex.geology.drilling.DSDrill manages the drilling datasets. The class extracts, read and writes the drlling data. The arrangement of the data follows the oasis montaj software drill data arrangement with peroperties such as collar, geology and geochemistry samples.

• Feature watex.utils.get_azimuth() computes azimuth from the coordinate locations ( latitude, longitude) or using easting/northing

• Feature watex.utils.smart_thickness_ranker() computes the layer thicknesses and rank strata accordingly.

• Feature watex.utils.geotools.get_thick_from_range() computes the layer thickness using the depth range (top-bottom) passed as a litteral string. Its sibling is watex.utils.geotools.get_thick_from_values() which computes thickness based only on thick -values.

• Feature watex.utils.storeOrwritehdf5() polishes and stores data to hdf5. It offers an opportunity to write sanitized data to csv file.

• Feature Nanshang project dataset loaded. It is composed of engineering and hydrogeological drillings. For retrieving the engineering data, user must pass the argument ns to the parameter key and b0 for hydrogeological drillings. User can call the dataset using watex.datasets.load_nlogs() or pass nlogs as an argument to the positional parameter tag of watex.datasets.fetch_data().

• Enhancement watex.geology.DSBorehole has new method called watex.geology.DSBorehole.set_strata() to randomly generated strata layers with their corresponding electrical properties.

• Enhancement watex.utils.coreutils.read_data() accepts sanitize as parameter. It allows sanitization data using minimum cleaning tips like replace non-ASCII characters by '_' in each colum items. Then, if applicable it casts data values to numeric when a serie value is convertible and also drop full NaN columns and rows in the frame.

• Enhancement watex.utils.plotutils.plot_text() henceforth returns Matplotlib.Axes and accepts additionals parameters like mcolor and lcolor for markers and line colors.

• Enhancement watex.site.Location.to_utm_in() and watex.site.Location.to_latlon_in() accepts data parameter expecting a pandas dataframe containing either the longitude/latitude or easting/northing coordinates.
