pyblock is a python module for performing a reblocking analysis on serially-correlated data.
The algorithms implemented in pyblock are not new; please see the documentation for references.
pyblock is compatible with (and tested on!) python 2.7 and python 3.3-3.4 and should work on any other version supported by pandas.
Documentation and a simple tutorial can be found in the docs subdirectory and on readthedocs.
pyblock can be used simply by adding to $PYTHONPATH. Alternatively, it can be installed using distutils:
$ pip install pyblock
or from PyPI:
$ pip install pyblock
pyblock requires numpy and (optionally) pandas and matplotlib. Please see the documentation for more details.

Will Vigor pointed out and wrote an early implementation of the algorithm to detect the optimal reblock length. Comments and suggestions from the HANDE development team.
