  • Resolution related functionalities

  • Map statistics calculation in Image and Fourier space

  • Likelihood based map fitting and Bayesian map averaging

  • Likelihood based magnification refinement

  • Local correlation map calculation for map and model validation

  • FSC based map-model validation

Installation

To install EMDA, just type following line in the terminal

$ pip install emda

All necessary files will be installed under pythonx.x/site-packages/

e.g.: /Users/ranganaw/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages
