Python package for conditional density estimation. It either wraps or implements diverse conditional density estimators.
This package provides pass-through access to all the functionalities of nflows.
Clone the repo and install all the dependencies using the
environment.yml file to create a conda environment: conda env create -f environment.yml. If you already have a pyknos environment
and want to refresh dependencies, just run conda env update -f environment.yml --prune.
Alternatively, you can install via setup.py using pip install -e ".[dev]" (the dev flag installs development and testing
dependencies).
Examples are collected in notebooks in examples/.
We use git lfs to store large binary files. Those files are not
downloaded by cloning the repository, but you have to pull them
separately. To do so follow installation instructions here
https://git-lfs.github.com/. In
particular, in a freshly cloned repository on a new machine, you will
need to run both git-lfs install and git-lfs pull.
We use a filename filter to identify large binary files. Once you
installed and pulled git lfs you can add a file to git lfs by
appending _gitlfs to the basename, e.g., oldbase_gitlfs.npy. Then
add the file to the index, commit, and it will be tracked by git lfs.
Additionally, to avoid large diffs due to Jupyter notebook outputs we
are using nbstripout to remove output from notebooks before every
commit. The nbstripout package is downloaded automatically during
installation of pyknos. However, please make sure to set up the
filter yourself, e.g., through nbstriout --install or with
different options as described
here.
pyknós (πυκνός) is the transliterated Greek root for density (pyknótita) and also means sagacious.
