kandi X-RAY | ballistics Summary

ballistics is a Python library typically used in Institutions, Learning, Education applications. ballistics has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This program and data attempts to answer the question of how black powder has varied over time. The main technique is to gather historical test data and use modern external ballistics to calculate the usefully generated power per unit weight of the gunpowder used in each test. The main focus is on the 18th century. One question in particular is how the black powder we purchase today compares with the powder that was produced commercially in the 18th century. The scope of this research is focused on black powder as a relatively mature technology. I am not particularly interested in the origin or invention of black powder; rather I'm interested in it as it was when it was a ubiquitous and required substance.

            Regression model output looks inconsistent
            Asked 2021-Mar-09 at 09:09

            Some context about my project: I intend to study various parameters about bullets and how they affect the ballistics coefficient (i.e. bullet performance) of the projectile. I have different parameters, such as weight, caliber, sectional density, etc. I feel that I did this all wrong though; I am just reading through tutorials and applying what I feel could be useful and relevant in my project.

            The output of my regression model looks a bit off to me; the trained model continuously outputs 0.0201 as MSE throughout the model.fit() part of my program.

            Also, the model.predict(X) seems to have an accuracy of 100%, however, this does not seem right; I borrowed some code from a tutorial describing Keras models to display the model output while displaying the expected output.

            This is the program constructing the model and training it

            Because you have nan values in your dataset. Before splitting up you can check it with df.isna().sum(). These can have a negative impact on your network. Here I just simply dropped them (df.dropna(inplace = True, axis = 0)) but you can use some imputation techniques to replace them.

            Also 2430 neurons can be overkill for this data, start with less neurons.

            You are correct in your thought that the problem is with projectileIndex being less than 0 or greater than ProjectileInventory.Count.

            If you move the two if(mouseScroll... lines above the if(projectileIndex >... line you should be good.

            Matplotlib graphic's line smoothing

            bullets' trajectory comparison

            I'm a new python user. I'm using this powerful code to do scientific research and data analysis.

            All right Francesco, thanks for uploading the image. Now, let's have some fun with coding.

            As first I suggest to use the numpy function to fit a polynomial curve of a certain degree to a set of value: np.polyfit(). Be aware of the degree you set as the results can widely change. For more information, please take a look at this documentation: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.14.0/reference/generated/numpy.polyfit.html

            Then, in order to smooth your curve down, you need to increase the number of point to draw the function with np.linspace() and use this new set to apply the function np.poly1d() (it calculates the y coordinates based on the fitting you did with polyfit).

            For a simple project, storing such things in a json file is probably a better idea.

            Given your characters don't inherit properties from each other, setting up MongoDB is not the wisest choice in my opinion.

            Additionally, often times setting up Mongoose and a database takes effort and is overly complicated for a given use case.

            Python / xldr : How do I pull data from an excel file using a raw_input variable?
            Asked 2018-Feb-03 at 19:32

            So I am trying to make a simple ballistics calculator for the game Arma 3 with python 2.7 and an excel file. The intent is to make a simple program that runs in the terminal that asks for the data involved in the shot you are trying to calculate, and output a value that is equal to the mil-dot hold over (the dots in a sniper scope) you need for a successful shot on target. The link with the example table will explain in detail what this involves. It is pretty simple.

            It involves doing a trigonometric calculation to find the true, horizontal distance to the target. Then using that range in combination with a value (parsed? using xlrd) from an excel file that contains a variable used in the hold over calculation.

            i.e. horizontal distance = range * cos(angle)

            horizontal distance - zeroing = hold_over_variable_x ;

            then use a table from this steam page to get another variable used in hold over calculation. In this example the M320 LRR rifle's table, which will be saved in an excel file. (I would like to add more rifles in the future, and use a raw_input variable to pick the corresponding excel sheet)

            The zeroing will be a variable that is assigned through raw_input, and is needed to pull the correct value from said table.

            e.g. zeroing = 1000

            range = 1125

            angle = 15.5

            horizontal distance = 1125 cos(15.5) = 1100

            horizontal distance - zeroing = 100 = hold_over_variable_x

            hold_over_variable_y = -1.5 (parsed from excel file using zeroing variable)

            hold_over = 100 * -1.5 = -150

            hold_over would ideally print as -1.5.

            As the error tells you there is no variable named sheet defined in your code but you are calling a function on sheet. You might need to rename sheet to worksheet.

            The variable hold_over_variable_y is also not defined before you use it. Give it a value before you compare it to something.
            e.g. here: hold_over_variable_y == sheet.cell(1,1).value
            How would you know if this is true or false if hold_over_variable_y doesn't have a value?

            QDoubleSpinBox::setValue returns a (lack of) value of type void, for which there are no conversions to anything. You are trying to assign to (double?) variables, and the compiler is telling you this is impossible.

            Instead, you should conditionally set the default values, then unconditionally read the values. This keeps the (disabled?) ui up to date.
