Release notes¶

NNMT 1.1.0¶

Move firing rate integration procedure used for lif neurons from nnmt.lif._general to nnmt._solvers, where such general solving procedures are to be collected in the future.
Add methods for binary neurons: - mean input - std input - mean activity - balanced threshold
Add example comparing binary firing rates with simulation.
Fix bug of fixture creation for lif neurons, which wouldn’t create all fixtures on passing all
Move helper functions for lif fixture creation to own file.
Add tests and fixture creation for binary neurons.

Fix calculation of mean input and std input for lif.exp. Previously tau_m was multiplied with the firing rates before the dot product with the connectivity. However, as tau_m is representing the post-synaptic membrane time constant, it should be multiplied after performing the dot product.
Fix explanation of tau_m in docstrings.
Add new integration test for lif.exp._firing_rates with vector parameters.
Fix docopt usage in fixture creation for unit and integration fixtures.

Deepcopy parameter dictionaries on instantiation of network model. Otherwise dictionary items can change unwantedly if netork parameters are changed.
Add approximations and assumptions to docstrings.
Add explanation of approximations to docs.
Add table of LIF parameters and NNMT variables to docs.
Fix description in docstrings for tau_s.
Fix typos in docstrings.
Add new example of adjusting the low-gamma peak in the microcircuit model.
Add pytest and pytest-mock to setup requirements, such that after pip installion the tests can be run.

Initial release.
