Python package for solving maximum entropy problems with a focus on the pairwise maximum entropy model, also known as the inverse Ising problem.
See "ipynb/usage_guide.ipynb" for usage documentation and examples.
There is an accompanying guide on arXiv: [https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.08216].
by running
pip install coniii
If you have trouble using pip
and PyPI, then you can always build this from source.
Download this package from GitHub and move the coniii
folder to wherever you would like
to have the module. Inside coniii
, you must run
python setup_module.py build_ext --inplace
If you would like to use the Enumerate
solver for system sizes greater than 9, you must
run exact.py to write those files yourself. This can be run from the install directory.
If you do not know where the installation directory is, you can find it by opening up an
iPython notebook and running
import coniii
coniii.__path__
Once inside the install directory, you can run in your bash shell
python exact.py [N]
where [N]
should be replaced by the size of the system.
The Jupyter notebook with the examples for how to use CONIII is available in the ipynb directory on the Github: [https://github.com/bcdaniels/coniii/blob/master/ipynb/usage_guide.ipynb]
It is also installed into your environment directory if you use pip. If you do not know how to navigate to your Python site-packages directory, I would recommend that you just download it from the Github.
Make sure you copy the notebook into a directory outside the CONIII directory. Once in the directory into which you've installed it, you can run it with
jupyter notebook
Make sure that you are running Python 2 in that directory. If you run
python
The first few lines specifying the version of Python that you are using must be 2.7. We have not updated it to be compatible with Python 3.
