Workspace Tour#

You should have downloaded and configured the autofit_workspace when you installed PyAutoFit. If you didn’t, checkout the installation instructions for how to downloaded and configure the workspace.

The README.rst files distributed throughout the workspace describe every folder and file, and specify if examples are for beginner or advanced users.

New users should begin by checking out the following parts of the workspace.

HowToFit#

The HowToFit lecture series are a collection of Jupyter notebooks describing how to build a PyAutoFit model fitting project and giving illustrations of different statistical methods and techniiques.

Checkout the tutorials section for a full description of the lectures and online examples of every notebook.

Scripts / Notebooks#

There are numerous example describing how perform model-fitting with PyAutoFit and providing an overview of its advanced model-fitting features. All examples are provided as Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks.

Descriptions of every configuration file and their input parameters are provided in the README.rst in the config directory of the workspace

Config#

Here, you’ll find the configuration files used by PyAutoFit which customize:

  • The default settings used by every non-linear search.

  • Example priors and notation configs which associate model-component with model-fitting.

  • The general.ini config which customizes other aspects of PyAutoFit.

Checkout the configuration section of the readthedocs for a complete description of every configuration file.

Dataset#

This folder stores the example dataset’s used in examples in the workspace.

Output#

The folder where the model-fitting results of a non-linear search are stored.
