A bit unclear on the dimensions of the "times" array

[hedgy123]

Hello,

I am trying to reproduce your drosophila example. I was unable to get the kalinka dataset through urlretrieve but I got it from a thread on the GP's github page. Unfortunately, I get stuck here:

replicates, times = np.loadtxt('/Users/n593117/GPclust/data/kalinka09_pdata.csv', delimiter=',').T

with this error:

  /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.pyc in floatconv(x)
    657         if b'0x' in x:
    658             return float.fromhex(asstr(x))
--> 659         return float(x)
    660 
    661     typ = dtype.type

 ValueError: could not convert string to float: an

This is too bad because now I can't print out 'times', and I am a bit confused as to what the dimensions of 'times' are supposed to be. At first I thought it would be just a 57x1 array for the 57 time values, but I think it's a bit more involved than that. Could you please help?

There may be something "not a number" in that file (which is "an"). Try manually change it or use genfromtxt instead.
