1. Welcome to pymetamodels documentation!

1.1. Intro

The pymetamodels package combines machine learning (ML) metamodeling and analysis tools for the virtual development of modeling systems within a common abstract framework implemented in an accessible and distributable Python package. The development of pymetamodels package is oriented to support ML applications in material science, material informatics and the construction of materials, components and systems soft metamodels informed by hard physics-based modelling (continuum, mesosocopic, … ) [EuropeanCfSCEN18] and experimental characterisations.

The package structure is as follows:

Basic turtorials and advanced examples can be found in the tutorials section.

The package has been build in ITAINNOVA (see authors). And is distributed with permissive license. The original repository can be found at gitHub.

1.2. Installing pymetamodels

To install the latest stable version of pymetamodels via pip from PyPI. together with all the dependencies, run the following command:

pip install pymetamodels

First steps, basic turtorials an advanced examples can be found in the tutorials section. To load and test installation try,

1import pymetamodels
2
3### Load main object
4mita = pymetamodels.metamodel()
5
6### Load main object (alternative)
7mita = pymetamodels.load()

1.3. Installing pre-requisite software

Pymetamodels requires Python >3.7 or an above of release Python.org.

Pymetamodels requires NumPy, SciPy, sklean, matplotlib and SALib installed on your computer. Using pip, these libraries can be installed with the following command:

pip install numpy scipy scikit-learn matplotlib SALib Pillow xlrd xlwt xlutils

The packages are normally included with most Python bundles, such as Anaconda. In any case, they are installed automatically when using pip to install pymetamodels.
