   Bases: :py:obj:`tape.analysis.structure_function.base_calculator.StructureFunctionCalculator`

   This class implements the structure function calculation described in
   Eqn. 5 of Bauer et al. 2009, 2009ApJ...696.1241B [https://arxiv.org/abs/0902.4103]

   `SF(tau) = sqrt( (pi/2) * mean(abs(delta_flux))^2 - mean(err^2) )`

   Note that the return value is structure function squared.

   .. py:method:: calculate()

      Abstract method that must be implemented by the child class.


   .. py:method:: name_id() -> str
      :staticmethod:

      This method will return the unique name of the Structure Function
      calculation method.


   .. py:method:: expected_argument_container() -> type
      :staticmethod:

      This method will return the argument container class type (not an
      instance) that the Structure Function calculation method requires in
      order to perform it's calculations.
