twinlab.Emulator#
- class twinlab.Emulator(id)[source]#
A trainable twinLab emulator.
An emulator is trainable model that learns the trends in a dataset. It is a machine-learning model in that it requires a dataset of inputs
X
and outputsy
on which to be trained. In this way, it learns to mimic, or emulate, the dataset and can be used to make predictions on new data. Emulators are also often called models, surrogates, or digital twins.Note that instantiating an emulator locally does not create a new emulator on the twinLab cloud. Instead, it can be used either to interact with an existing emulator that has previously been trained, or as a precursor step to training a new emulator.
- Variables:
id (str) – The name for the emulator in the twinLab cloud. If an emulator is specified that does not currently exist, then a new emulator will be instantiated. Otherwise the corresponding emulator will be loaded from the cloud. Be sure to double check which emulators have been created using
tl.list_emulators
.
