Are there any tests/comparisons to R bfast or pubs using python bfast yet?

Open rbavery opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I'm interested in using this package for a project mapping deforestation with radar imagery. I've noticed that some open issues indicate some differences have existed between the results generated by this package and the original R version. Tt seems like some have been fixed and some issues are still yet to be resolved. If the maintainers have a moment, I'd like to get a sense of where the package stands and how it's been tested so I can decide if I should use it for my upcoming project. Thanks for releasing this cool project!

Hi Ryan,

You are welcome. The debugging of the R/Python differences is mostly done. There are still differences between the R and Python version (mostly in the magnitude computation, the breakpoints are very close), and they will probably remain there, since we have based our implementation on the original BFAST-Monitor paper and not on the R code itself. We are working on standardizing and adding our tests to the repository.
