  • Reproducible and Scalable Workflows with Make

    It’s common to find blog posts referencing the venerable Make utility in the pursuit of reproducible workflows in Data Science. What is less common is an actual tutorial covering a real-world scenario in constructing a Makefile.

  • An AutoGUI for Curve Fitting in Python

    One of the most basic tasks in science and engineering is fitting a model to some data. Doing so in Python is strait forward using curve_fit from scipy.optimize. In the same way seaborn builds on matplotlib by creating a high-level interface to common statistical graphics, we can expand on the curve fitting process by building a simple, high-level interface for defining and visualizing these sorts of optimization problems.
