Functions in example notebooks

[misi9170]

Many of the notebooks in the examples contain functions. I believe that many users, including ourselves, are simply copying the examples so that we can use the functions. Should these functions actually be part of the source code? That would:

1. Mean that they are available if flasc is installed via PyPI
2. Clean up the examples and make them easier to follow

The counterargument, I suppose, is that if the functions defined in the examples are too tied to the SCADA record, we shouldn't generalize them.

A good example of this is in examples_artificial_data/01_raw_data_processing/01_northing_calibration.ipynb. It feels like the following functions could all be moved to the source code:

• get_bias_for_single_turbine()
• estimate_bias_with_reference_wd()
• apply_bias_corrections()
• filter_for_faults_in_impacting_turbines()

This strikes me as a good idea, @ejsimley if you agree I say we add this is as an issue. We could then further discuss if this is a v2 target or future work

I agree, I haven't checked all the functions in the examples, but at least the ones @misi9170 listed could be generalized pretty easily and I feel would get used a lot outside of the examples.

Agreed!
