        Columns and indices will depend on the object being converted.

        to convert data for use in packages that utilize dataframes,
        such as statsmodels or seaborn.

        Parameters
        ----------
        picks : array-like of int | None
            If None only MEG and EEG channels are kept
            otherwise the channels indices in picks are kept.
        index : tuple of str | None
            Column to be used as index for the data. Valid string options
            are 'epoch', 'time' and 'condition'. If None, all three info
            columns will be included in the table as categorial data.
        scaling_time : float
            Scaling to be applied to time units.
        scalings : dict | None
            Scaling to be applied to the channels picked. If None, defaults to
            ``scalings=dict(eeg=1e6, grad=1e13, mag=1e15, misc=1.0)``.
        copy : bool
            If true, data will be copied. Else data may be modified in place.
        start : int | None
            If it is a Raw object, this defines a starting index for creating
            the dataframe from a slice. The times will be interpolated from the
            index and the sampling rate of the signal.
        stop : int | None
            If it is a Raw object, this defines a stop index for creating
            the dataframe from a slice. The times will be interpolated from the

        Returns
        -------
        df : instance of pandas.core.DataFrame
            A dataframe suitable for usage with other
            statistical/plotting/analysis packages. Column/Index values will
            depend on the object type being converted, but should be
            human-readable.

    Parameters
    ----------
    info : dict
        A dict passed from the subclass.
    preload : bool | str | ndarray
        Preload data into memory for data manipulation and faster indexing.
        If True, the data will be preloaded into memory (fast, requires
        large amount of memory). If preload is a string, preload is the
        file name of a memory-mapped file which is used to store the data
        on the hard drive (slower, requires less memory). If preload is an
        ndarray, the data are taken from that array. If False, data are not
        read until save.
    first_samps : iterable
        Iterable of the first sample number from each raw file. For unsplit raw
        files this should be a length-one list or tuple.
    last_samps : iterable | None
        Iterable of the last sample number from each raw file. For unsplit raw
        files this should be a length-one list or tuple. If None, then preload
        must be an ndarray.
    filenames : tuple
        Tuple of length one (for unsplit raw files) or length > 1 (for split
        raw files).
    raw_extras : list
        Whatever data is necessary for on-demand reads. For `RawFIF` this means
        a list of variables formerly known as ``_rawdirs``.
    orig_format : str
        The data format of the original raw file (e.g., ``'double'``).
    dtype : dtype | None
        The dtype of the raw data. If preload is an ndarray, its dtype must
        match what is passed here.
    buffer_size_sec : float
        The buffer size in seconds that should be written by default using
        :meth:`mne.io.Raw.save`.
    orig_units : dict | None
        Dictionary mapping channel names to their units as specified in
        the header file. Example: {'FC1': 'nV'}

        .. versionadded:: 0.17
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`
        and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>` for more).

    Notes
    -----
    This class is public to allow for stable type-checking in user
    code (i.e., ``isinstance(my_raw_object, BaseRaw)``) but should not be used
    as a constructor for `Raw` objects (use instead one of the subclass
    constructors, or one of the ``mne.io.read_raw_*`` functions).

    Subclasses must provide the following methods:

        * _read_segment_file(self, data, idx, fi, start, stop, cals, mult)
          (only needed for types that support on-demand disk reads)

        n_fft : int | None | str
            Points to use in the FFT for Hilbert transformation. The signal
            will be padded with zeros before computing Hilbert, then cut back

        Returns
        -------
        self : instance of Raw

        Notes
        -----
        The analytic signal "x_a(t)" of "x(t)" is::

            x_a = F^{-1}(F(x) 2U) = x + i y

        where "F" is the Fourier transform, "U" the unit step function,
        and "y" the Hilbert transform of "x". One usage of the analytic
        signal is the computation of the envelope signal, which is given by
        "e(t) = abs(x_a(t))". Due to the linearity of Hilbert transform and the
        MNE inverse solution, the enevlope in source space can be obtained
        by computing the analytic signal in sensor space, applying the MNE
        inverse, and computing the envelope in source space.

        Also note that the n_fft parameter will allow you to pad the signal
        with zeros before performing the Hilbert transform. This padding
        is cut off, but it may result in a slightly different result
        (particularly around the edges). Use at your own risk.

        """Filter a subset of channels.

        Applies a zero-phase low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or band-stop
        filter to the channels selected by ``picks``. By default the data
        of the Raw object is modified inplace.

        The Raw object has to have the data loaded e.g. with ``preload=True``
        or ``self.load_data()``.

        ``l_freq`` and ``h_freq`` are the frequencies below which and above
        which, respectively, to filter out of the data. Thus the uses are:

            * ``l_freq < h_freq``: band-pass filter
            * ``l_freq > h_freq``: band-stop filter
            * ``l_freq is not None and h_freq is None``: high-pass filter
            * ``l_freq is None and h_freq is not None``: low-pass filter

        ``self.info['lowpass']`` and ``self.info['highpass']`` are only
        updated with picks=None.

        .. note:: If n_jobs > 1, more memory is required as
                  ``len(picks) * n_times`` additional time points need to
                  be temporaily stored in memory.

        Parameters
        ----------
        l_freq : float | None
            Low cut-off frequency in Hz. If None the data are only low-passed.
        h_freq : float | None
            High cut-off frequency in Hz. If None the data are only
            high-passed.
        picks : array-like of int | None
            Indices of channels to filter. If None only the data (MEG/EEG)
            channels will be filtered.
        filter_length : str | int
            Length of the FIR filter to use (if applicable):

            * 'auto' (default): the filter length is chosen based
              on the size of the transition regions (6.6 times the reciprocal
              of the shortest transition band for fir_window='hamming'
              and fir_design="firwin2", and half that for "firwin").
            * str: a human-readable time in
              units of "s" or "ms" (e.g., "10s" or "5500ms") will be
              converted to that number of samples if ``phase="zero"``, or
              the shortest power-of-two length at least that duration for
              ``phase="zero-double"``.
            * int: specified length in samples. For fir_design="firwin",
              this should not be used.

        l_trans_bandwidth : float | str
            Width of the transition band at the low cut-off frequency in Hz
            (high pass or cutoff 1 in bandpass). Can be "auto"
            (default) to use a multiple of ``l_freq``::

                min(max(l_freq * 0.25, 2), l_freq)

            Only used for ``method='fir'``.
        h_trans_bandwidth : float | str
            Width of the transition band at the high cut-off frequency in Hz
            (low pass or cutoff 2 in bandpass). Can be "auto"
            (default) to use a multiple of ``h_freq``::

                min(max(h_freq * 0.25, 2.), info['sfreq'] / 2. - h_freq)

            Only used for ``method='fir'``.
        n_jobs : int | str
            Number of jobs to run in parallel.
            Can be 'cuda' if ``cupy`` is installed properly and method='fir'.
        method : str
            'fir' will use overlap-add FIR filtering, 'iir' will use IIR
            forward-backward filtering (via filtfilt).
        iir_params : dict | None
            Dictionary of parameters to use for IIR filtering.
            See mne.filter.construct_iir_filter for details. If iir_params
            is None and method="iir", 4th order Butterworth will be used.
        phase : str
            Phase of the filter, only used if ``method='fir'``.
            By default, a symmetric linear-phase FIR filter is constructed.
            If ``phase='zero'`` (default), the delay of this filter
            is compensated for. If ``phase=='zero-double'``, then this filter
            is applied twice, once forward, and once backward. If 'minimum',
            then a minimum-phase, causal filter will be used.

            .. versionadded:: 0.13
        fir_window : str
            The window to use in FIR design, can be "hamming" (default),
            "hann" (default in 0.13), or "blackman".

            .. versionadded:: 0.13
        fir_design : str
            Can be "firwin" (default) to use :func:`scipy.signal.firwin`,
            or "firwin2" to use :func:`scipy.signal.firwin2`. "firwin" uses
            a time-domain design technique that generally gives improved
            attenuation using fewer samples than "firwin2".

            .. versionadded:: 0.15
        skip_by_annotation : str | list of str
            If a string (or list of str), any annotation segment that begins
            with the given string will not be included in filtering, and
            segments on either side of the given excluded annotated segment
            will be filtered separately (i.e., as independent signals).
            The default (``('edge', 'bad_acq_skip')`` will separately filter
            any segments that were concatenated by :func:`mne.concatenate_raws`
            or :meth:`mne.io.Raw.append`, or separated during acquisition.
            To disable, provide an empty list.

            .. versionadded:: 0.16.
        pad : str
            The type of padding to use. Supports all :func:`numpy.pad` ``mode``
            options. Can also be "reflect_limited" (default), which pads with a
            reflected version of each vector mirrored on the first and last
            values of the vector, followed by zeros.
            Only used for ``method='fir'``.

            .. versionadded:: 0.15
        verbose : bool, str, int, or None
            If not None, override default verbose level (see
            :func:`mne.verbose` and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>`
            for more). Defaults to self.verbose.

        Returns
        -------
        raw : instance of Raw
            The raw instance with filtered data.

        Parameters
        ----------
        freqs : float | array of float | None
            Specific frequencies to filter out from data, e.g.,
            np.arange(60, 241, 60) in the US or np.arange(50, 251, 50) in
            Europe. None can only be used with the mode 'spectrum_fit',
            where an F test is used to find sinusoidal components.
        picks : array-like of int | None
            Indices of channels to filter. If None only the data (MEG/EEG)
            channels will be filtered.
        filter_length : str | int
            Length of the FIR filter to use (if applicable):

                * int: specified length in samples.
                * 'auto' (default): the filter length is chosen based
                  on the size of the transition regions (6.6 times the
                  reciprocal of the shortest transition band for
                  fir_window='hamming').
                * str: a human-readable time in
                  units of "s" or "ms" (e.g., "10s" or "5500ms") will be
                  converted to that number of samples if ``phase="zero"``, or
                  the shortest power-of-two length at least that duration for
                  ``phase="zero-double"``.

        notch_widths : float | array of float | None
            Width of each stop band (centred at each freq in freqs) in Hz.
            If None, freqs / 200 is used.
        trans_bandwidth : float
            Width of the transition band in Hz.
            Only used for ``method='fir'``.
        n_jobs : int | str
            Number of jobs to run in parallel. Can be 'cuda' if ``cupy``
            is installed properly and method='fir'.
        method : str
            'fir' will use overlap-add FIR filtering, 'iir' will use IIR
            forward-backward filtering (via filtfilt). 'spectrum_fit' will
            use multi-taper estimation of sinusoidal components.
        iir_params : dict | None
            Dictionary of parameters to use for IIR filtering.
            See mne.filter.construct_iir_filter for details. If iir_params
            is None and method="iir", 4th order Butterworth will be used.
        mt_bandwidth : float | None
            The bandwidth of the multitaper windowing function in Hz.
            Only used in 'spectrum_fit' mode.
        p_value : float
            p-value to use in F-test thresholding to determine significant
            sinusoidal components to remove when method='spectrum_fit' and
            freqs=None. Note that this will be Bonferroni corrected for the
            number of frequencies, so large p-values may be justified.
        phase : str
            Phase of the filter, only used if ``method='fir'``.
            By default, a symmetric linear-phase FIR filter is constructed.
            If ``phase='zero'`` (default), the delay of this filter

        Parameters
        ----------
        sfreq : float
            New sample rate to use.
        npad : int | str
            Amount to pad the start and end of the data.
            Can also be "auto" to use a padding that will result in
            a power-of-two size (can be much faster).
        window : string or tuple
            Frequency-domain window to use in resampling.
            See :func:`scipy.signal.resample`.
        stim_picks : array of int | None
            Stim channels. These channels are simply subsampled or
            supersampled (without applying any filtering). This reduces
            resampling artifacts in stim channels, but may lead to missing
            triggers. If None, stim channels are automatically chosen using
            :func:`mne.pick_types`.
        n_jobs : int | str
            Number of jobs to run in parallel. Can be 'cuda' if ``cupy``

        events : 2D array, shape (n_events, 3) | None
            An optional event matrix. When specified, the onsets of the events
            are resampled jointly with the data. NB: The input events are not
            modified, but a new array is returned with the raw instead.
        pad : str
            The type of padding to use. Supports all :func:`numpy.pad` ``mode``
            options. Can also be "reflect_limited" (default), which pads with a
            reflected version of each vector mirrored on the first and last

        Parameters

        fname : string
            File name of the new dataset. This has to be a new filename
            unless data have been preloaded. Filenames should end with
            raw.fif, raw.fif.gz, raw_sss.fif, raw_sss.fif.gz, raw_tsss.fif
            or raw_tsss.fif.gz.
        picks : array-like of int | None
            Indices of channels to include. If None all channels are kept.
        tmin : float | None
            Time in seconds of first sample to save. If None first sample
            is used.
        tmax : float | None
            Time in seconds of last sample to save. If None last sample
            is used.
        buffer_size_sec : float | None
            Size of data chunks in seconds. If None (default), the buffer
            size of the original file is used.
        drop_small_buffer : bool
            Drop or not the last buffer. It is required by maxfilter (SSS)
            that only accepts raw files with buffers of the same size.
        proj : bool
            If True the data is saved with the projections applied (active).

            .. note:: If ``apply_proj()`` was used to apply the projections,
                      the projectons will be active even if ``proj`` is False.

        fmt : str
            Format to use to save raw data. Valid options are 'double',
            'single', 'int', and 'short' for 64- or 32-bit float, or 32- or
            16-bit integers, respectively. It is **strongly** recommended to
            use 'single', as this is backward-compatible, and is standard for
            maintaining precision. Note that using 'short' or 'int' may result
            in loss of precision, complex data cannot be saved as 'short',
            and neither complex data types nor real data stored as 'double'
            can be loaded with the MNE command-line tools. See raw.orig_format
            to determine the format the original data were stored in.
        overwrite : bool
            If True, the destination file (if it exists) will be overwritten.
            If False (default), an error will be raised if the file exists.
            To overwrite original file (the same one that was loaded),
            data must be preloaded upon reading.
        split_size : string | int
            Large raw files are automatically split into multiple pieces. This
            parameter specifies the maximum size of each piece. If the
            parameter is an integer, it specifies the size in Bytes. It is
            also possible to pass a human-readable string, e.g., 100MB.

            .. note:: Due to FIFF file limitations, the maximum split
                      size is 2GB.

        split_naming : {'neuromag' | 'bids'}
            Add the filename partition with the appropriate naming schema.

            .. versionadded:: 0.17

        verbose : bool, str, int, or None
            If not None, override default verbose level (see
            :func:`mne.verbose` and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>`
            for more). Defaults to self.verbose.

        Notes
        -----
        If Raw is a concatenation of several raw files, **be warned** that
        only the measurement information from the first raw file is stored.
        This likely means that certain operations with external tools may not
        work properly on a saved concatenated file (e.g., probably some
        or all forms of SSS). It is recommended not to concatenate and
        then save raw files for this reason.

            If None (default) meg and eeg channels are included.
        scalings : dict | 'norm'
            To achieve reliable rank estimation on multiple sensors,
            sensors have to be rescaled. This parameter controls the

            Defaults to 'norm'.

        Returns
        -------
        rank : int
            Estimated rank of the data.
        s : array
            If return_singular is True, the singular values that were
