This repository contains an interactive IPython worksheet (worksheet.ipynb)
designed to introduce you to model fitting using TensorFlow. Only very minimal
experience with Python should be necessary to get something out of this.
You'll need the standard scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy, and
matplotlib), a recent version of Jupyter, and
emcee installed. If you
don't already have a working Python installation (and maybe even if you do), I
recommend using the Anaconda distribution and
then running pip install emcee.
After you have your Python environment set up, download the code from this repository by running:
git clone https://github.com/dfm/tf-tutorial.git
or by clicking here.
Then, navigate into the tf-tutorial directory and run
cp worksheet.ipynb worksheet_in_progress.ipynb
jupyter notebook
Then, in your web browser, navigate to localhost:8888
and click on worksheet_in_progress.ipynb to get started.
