# AtomicPriors.jl

This package contains software related to the following papers:

1. *Far from Asymptopia*

Michael Abbott & Benjamin Machta

[arXiv:2205.03343](http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.03343)

2. *Information geometry for multiparameter models: New perspectives on the origin of simplicity*

Katherine Quinn, Michael Abbott, Mark Transtrum, Benjamin Machta, James Sethna

[arXiv:2111.07176](http://arxiv.org/abs/2111.07176)

3. *A scaling law from discrete to continuous solutions of
channel capacity problems in the low-noise limit*

Michael Abbott & Benjamin Machta

[J. Stat. Phys. **176** (2019) 214–227](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10955-019-02296-2)

4. *Maximizing the information learned from finite data selects a simple model*

Henry Mattingly, Mark Transtrum, Michael Abbott, Benjamin Machta

[PNAS **115** (2018) 1760-1765](https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1715306115)

(All of this code post-dates the 2018 PNAS paper.)

### Installation

You will need at Julia 1.6 or later, freely available from [julialang.org](https://julialang.org/downloads/).
These commands will install the package, and all of its dependencies:

```julia
using Pkg # Julia's built-in package manager
Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/mcabbott/AtomicPriors.jl")
Pkg.add("Plots")
using AtomicPriors, Plots
```

The basic use is shown in some noebooks in the `/docs/` folder,
which can be viewed nicely online at [...github.io...basic.html](https://mcabbott.github.io/AtomicPriors.jl/docs/basic.html).

In case this prompts anyone to learn Julia, [these lectures](https://julia.quantecon.org/intro.html) were helpful (the first few),
and [this page](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/noteworthy-differences/index.html) lists differences from Matlab (and Python, R).
