fm.fit taking forever #21

Open iyangand opened 3 years ago

iyangand commented 3 years ago

in the matlab wrapper fooof.m, I can get through the first few lines just fine, but then when the line "fm.fit(freqs, power_spectrum, f_range)" is executed, it's taking forever.

I think this is not a matlab/python problem since the first few lines run just fine (e.g. py.numpy.array, pylist, etc.).

I'm using python 3.7 w/ cpython on matlab 2020a.

We would need some more information to be able to troubleshoot this. Does model fitting finish at all, or is it hanging? How long is "forever"? What is the data you are trying to fit and what settings are you using?

Thank you for quick response!

I am simply running the cell in 'fooof_example_one_spectrum.m', using the provided data in 'ch_dat_one.mat'

The model never finishes even when I let it run for >10 minutes.

I tried changing the default settings as follows, and still have the same issue. settings.peak_width_limits=[2 5]; settings.max_n_peaks=2; settings.min_peak_height=0.1; settings.peak_threshold=2; settings.aperiodic_mode='fixed'; settings.verbose=true;

Same here. But I get one additional output warning:

FOOOF WARNING: Lower-bound peak width limit is < or ~= the frequency resolution: 0.98 <= 0.50
    Lower bounds below frequency-resolution have no effect (effective lower bound is the frequency resolution).
    Too low a limit may lead to overfitting noise as small bandwidth peaks.
    We recommend a lower bound of approximately 2x the frequency resolution.

I was able to solve it with the answer on StackOverflow. As the answer suggests "this issue sometimes can arise when Python attempts to use the MathWorks version of libcrypto". Just run:

py.sys.setdlopenflags(int32(10))
py.importlib.import_module('ssl')

and you should be good to go.
