candle.uq_utils.compute_limits

candle.uq_utils.compute_limits(numdata, numblocks, blocksize, blockn)

Generates the limit of indices corresponding to a specific block. It takes into account the non-exact divisibility of numdata into numblocks letting the last block to take the extra chunk.

Parameters:

• numdata (int) – Total number of data points to distribute

• numblocks (int) – Total number of blocks to distribute into

• blocksize (int) – Size of data per block

• blockn (int) – Index of block, from 0 to numblocks-1

Returns:

• start (int) – Position to start assigning indices

• end (int) – One beyond position to stop assigning indices
