Trends in vector data

Verde provides the verde.Trend class to estimate a polynomial trend and the verde.Vector class to apply any combination of estimators to each component of vector data, like GPS velocities. You can access each component as a separate (fitted) verde.Trend instance or operate on all vector components directly using using verde.Vector.predict, verde.Vector.grid, etc, or chaining it with a vector interpolator using verde.Chain.

Out:

Vector trend estimator: Vector(components=[Trend(degree=2), Trend(degree=2)])
East component trend: Trend(degree=2)
East trend coefficients: [-2.63027348e+01  1.65325273e-01  3.15539485e-01 -2.54890059e-04
 -1.04529316e-03 -8.02571744e-04]
North component trend: Trend(degree=2)
North trend coefficients: [ 4.41288370e+01 -3.04681356e-01 -3.63276562e-01  5.27969954e-04
