release 0.2

hi guys, I think it's [time for another release](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often). 3 month cycles are usually recommended but 6 months is also fine. I'd like to get it out before getting busy...

autapses in L5 Basket cells

3

The L5 basket cells allow autapses but not the L2 Basket cells. This was [noticed](https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/pull/164/files#r486717877) by @rythorpe in #164. Is this expected? If we fix this, we should also make...

show how to compare HNN-core output to data

2

@stephanie-r-jones suggested today that the ERP example should have some comparison with data and perhaps show how the exploration process goes along with computation of RMSE

consistency between arguments in docstrings

2

@ntolley [pointed out](https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/pull/376#discussion_r664173097) in #376 that we could make the docstrings more consistent. I think this is a great suggestion and merits a separate PR. Down the line, we could...

speed up examples

1

I am quoting @ntolley from [here](https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/pull/348#issuecomment-864471375): > I think a very necessary discussion will be which examples we are ok with using a longer dt. Especially since this PR is...

API consistency, stability and deprecation cycles

4

As we approach 0.2 release, I wanted to discuss the overall API consistency, policies we will have for deprecation cycles and the release from which we can consider the API...

This was raised by @rythorpe at the meeting today. I think the components to make it happen are already there. We'll need: - Artificially trigger events by changing the state...

look into functions for uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis

Leaving an open issue so we can get to it

separating the geometry of cells/networks from the Neuron code

1

This has come up a few times in different contexts, most notably for the `Network` class. The reason one would want to separate the geometry from the actual Neuron code...

standardize params file

3

Currently the params file has different standards for specifying conductance with respect to input feeds and for within network connections. Here are different examples: https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/blob/04ab8bba620d34e43b9acf3c775e41060691673b/hnn_core/param/default.json#L159 and https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/blob/04ab8bba620d34e43b9acf3c775e41060691673b/hnn_core/param/default.json#L170 then yet another...
