xdmod-notebooks

This repository contains example Jupyter notebooks demonstrating how to use the XDMoD Data Analytics Framework via the xdmod-data package.

Download

The latest version of this xdmod-notebooks repository can be downloaded from the releases page — under "Assets," click one of the "Source code" links.

Setup

Follow the instructions below to set up your system to run the notebooks in JupyterLab either through Anaconda or Docker.

Anaconda

1. Install Anaconda following these instructions.
2. Open Anaconda Navigator following these instructions.
3. Launch JupyterLab (NOT Jupyter Notebook).

Docker

1. Install Docker following these instructions.
2. Run a new Docker container named xdmod-notebooks on port 8888 based on Jupyter's latest SciPy Docker image by running this command:

   docker run -p8888:8888 --name xdmod-notebooks jupyter/scipy-notebook:latest
   

3. Copy-paste the URL listed on your terminal / command prompt that starts with http://127.0.0.1 into a web browser to take you to JupyterLab.
4. Note: Subsequent runs of the Docker container should use this command instead of docker run:

   docker start -i xdmod-notebooks
   

Usage

• Once you have JupyterLab open, you can upload and run the notebooks from your copy of this repository by clicking the Upload button (). If you are not familiar with Jupyter notebooks, the "Help" tab may provide useful information.
• The notebooks can be run independently and in any order; however, you may find this order to be the most helpful when starting out:
  1. XDMoD-Data-First-Example.ipynb
  2. XDMoD-Data-Raw-Data-Example.ipynb
  3. XDMoD-Data-Machine-Learning-Example.ipynb

R example
