Building instructions
To generate the html output for on-screen display, Type:
make html
the generated html files can be found in build/html
The first build takes a long time, but information is cached and subsequent builds will be faster.
To generate the pdf file for printing:
make pdf
The pdf builder is a bit pointy and you might have some TeX errors. Tweaking
the layout in the *.rst files is usually enough to work around these
problems.
Requirements
probably incomplete
- make
- sphinx (>= 1.0)
- pdflatex
- pdfjam
- matplotlib
- scikit-learn (>= 0.8)
