Description: tdmagsus: tools for thermomagnetic susceptibility analysis
        ==========================================================
        
        This is a small library for working with temperature-dependent magnetic
        susceptibility data measured on AGICO kappabridges from the KLY and MFK
        series (e.g. Agico, 2003; Agico, 2009).
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        tdmadsus provides three classes:
        
        ``Furnace`` represents the temperature-susceptibility behaviour of the empty
        furnace (i.e. the measurement apparatus without a sample). It allows a "raw"
        set of sample measurements to be corrected to remove the effects of the
        changes in the susceptibility of the equipment itself. A ``Furnace`` object is
        created from a ``.CUR`` file produced from a measurement run with no sample.
        Since measuremed data is frequently noisy, ``Furnace`` provides methods for
        smoothing the data with a spline before it is used for corrections.
        
        ``MeasurementCycle`` represents the temperature-susceptibility behaviour of a
        sample during a single heating-cooling sample. It is initialized from a ``.CUR``
        file and, optionally, a ``Furnace`` object. If a furnace is supplied, it is
        used to correct the measured sample data. ``MeasurementCycle`` provides methods
        to calculate a disordering (Curie or Néel) temperature using different
        techniques (Petrovský  & Kapička, 2006), calculate the alteration index, and
        write the data to a CSV file.
        
        ``MeasurementSet`` represents the data from a progressive sequence of
        heating-cooling cycles, which it stores as a dictionary of ``MeasurementCycle``
        objects indexed by peak temperature. It is initialized from a directory
        containing multiple ``.CUR`` files.
