Hi @mengqi-z and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level (not at the more detailed review level) before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment over time as I have a chance to go through them:

• [x] OSI-approved license
• [x] Installation instructions
• [x] Documentation exists at all
• [x] Tests of some sort
• [ ] Check paper (make sure compiles, read through, check for length 250-1000 words)
• [x] Substantial scholarly effort
• [x] Clear research application

In the meantime, please take a look at the comments above ⬆️ from the editorialbot to address any DOI, license, or paper issues if you're able (there may not be any), or suggest reviewers. For reviewers, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them.

@mengqi-z

• in the docs, a suggestion I have is to add what the user can expect to look for for success from the examples, like certain values, outcomes, and/or especially a plot they can make to confirm results.
• Please reduce to length of your paper to up to about 1000 words. Paper format information here: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/paper.html. You can check paper length (and a few other items) with the command @editorialbot check repository though note it needs to be the first item in a comment to run correctly.
