        WAFO
        =====
           WAFO is a toolbox Python routines for statistical analysis and simulation of random waves and random loads. 
           WAFO is freely redistributable software, see WAFO licence, cf. the GNU General Public License (GPL) and
           contain tools for:
        
        Fatigue Analysis
        ----------------
        -Fatigue life prediction for random loads

        Sea modelling
        -------------
        -Simulation of linear and non-linear Gaussian waves
        -Estimation of seamodels (spectrums)
        -Joint wave height, wave steepness, wave period distributions
        
        Statistics
        ------------
        -Extreme value analysis
        -Kernel density estimation

         WAFO consists of several subpackages and classes with short descriptions below.
        
         Classes:
         
         TimeSeries  - Data analysis of time series. Example: extraction of 
                      turning points, estimation of spectrum and covariance function. 
                      Estimation transformation used in transformed Gaussian model.
         CovData     - Computation of spectral functions, linear 
                      and non-linear time series simulation. 
         SpecData    - Computation of spectral moments and covariance functions, linear 
                      and non-linear time series simulation. 
                      Ex: common spectra implemented, directional spectra, 
                      bandwidth measures, exact distributions for wave characteristics.
          
                   
         CyclePairs  - Cycle counting, discretization, and crossings, calculation of 
                      damage. Simulation of discrete Markov chains, switching Markov
                      chains, harmonic oscillator. Ex:  Rainflow cycles and matrix, 
                      discretization of loads. Damage of a rainflow count or 
                      matrix, damage matrix, S-N plot.
         
         
        Subpackages
         TRANSFORM  - Modelling with linear or transformed Gaussian waves. Ex:
         STATS      - Statistical tools and extreme-value distributions.
                      Ex: generation of random numbers, estimation of parameters,
                      evaluation of pdf and cdf
