bivariate_normal function has been removed from matplotlib

[DaisyLyu522]

Hello, I am trying to run swifr_train and it gives me the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/anaconda3/bin/swifr_train", line 5, in <module> from swifr_pkg.SWIFr_train import main File "/home/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/swifr_pkg/SWIFr_train.py", line 13, in <module> from matplotlib.mlab import bivariate_normal ImportError: cannot import name 'bivariate_normal' from 'matplotlib.mlab' (/home/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/matplotlib/mlab.py)

I noticed that bivariate_normal function has been removed from matplotlib, so I modify the from matplotlib.mlab import bivariate_normal to be from scipy.stats import multivariate_normal.

After this modification, I ran swifr_train again and receive another error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/anaconda3/bin/swifr_train", line 5, in <module> from swifr_pkg.SWIFr_train import main File "/home/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/swifr_pkg/SWIFr_train.py", line 14, in <module> from matplotlib.mlab import normpdf ImportError: cannot import name 'normpdf' from 'matplotlib.mlab' (/home/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/matplotlib/mlab.py)

It seems that some packages have been removed from the matplotlib. I can search for alternative and modify the code but I'm worrying that it cause some issues. Do you have any suggestions?

As for reference, when installing swifr, I received the error: `[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for scipy Running setup.py clean for scipy error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× python setup.py clean did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [9 lines of output]

  setup.py clean is not supported, use one of the following instead:

    - git clean -xdf (cleans all files)
    - git clean -Xdf (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch
                        files that aren't checked into the git repo)

  Add --force to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

So I uninstalled numpy and installed swifr with code below: pip install -U numpy pip install --no-deps swifr

should be fixed with most updated version of SWIF(r) v. 2.2.1!
