| 10 | +## chapter_1_introduction |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- [HowToFit Lectures](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/start_here.py): Welcome to the HowToFit Jupyter Notebook lectures! |
| 13 | +- [Tutorial 1: Models](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/tutorial_1_models.py): At the heart of model-fitting is the model: a set of equations, numerical processes, and assumptions describing a physical system of interest. The goal of model-fitting is to better understand this physical system and develop predictive models that describe it more accurately. |
| 14 | + - Contents: Paths, Model Parameterization, Model Composition, Model Creation, Model Mapping, Complex Models, Tuple Parameters, Extensibility, Wrap Up |
| 15 | +- [Tutorial 2: Fitting Data](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/tutorial_2_fitting_data.py): We've learned that a model consists of equations, numerical processes, and assumptions that describe a physical system. Using **PyAutoFit**, we defined simple 1D models like the Gaussian, composed them into models using `Model` and `Collection` objects, and generated model data by varying their parameters. |
| 16 | + - Contents: Data, Model Data, Residuals, Normalized Residuals, Chi Squared, Noise Normalization, Likelihood, Recap, Fitting Models, Guess 1, Guess 2, Guess 3, Extensibility, Wrap Up |
| 17 | +- [Tutorial 3: Non Linear Search](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/tutorial_3_non_linear_search.py): In the previous tutorials, we laid the groundwork by defining a model and manually fitting it to data using fitting functions. We quantified the goodness of fit using the log likelihood and demonstrated that for models with only a few free parameters, we could achieve satisfactory fits by manually guessing parameter values. However, as the complexity of our models increased, this approach quickly became impractical. |
| 18 | + - Contents: Parameter Space, Non-Linear Search, Search Types, Deeper Background, Data, Model, Priors, Analysis, Searches, Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), Nested Sampling, What is The Best Search To Use?, Wrap Up |
| 19 | +- [Tutorial 4: Why Modeling Is Hard](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/tutorial_4_why_modeling_is_hard.py): We have successfully fitted a simple 1D Gaussian profile to a dataset using a non-linear search. While achieving an accurate model fit has been straightforward, the reality is that model fitting is a challenging problem where many things can go wrong. |
| 20 | + - Contents: Data, Model, Analysis, Alternative Syntax, Collection, Search, Model Fit, Result, Why Modeling is Hard, Prior Tuning, Reducing Complexity, Search More Thoroughly, Summary, Run Times, Model Mismatch, Astronomy Example, Wrap Up |
| 21 | +- [Tutorial 5: Results And Samples](scripts/chapter_1_introduction/tutorial_5_results_and_samples.py): In this tutorial, we'll cover all of the output that comes from a non-linear search's `Result` object. |
| 22 | + - Contents: Data, Reused Functions, Model Fit, Result, Samples, Parameters, Figures of Merit, Instances, Vectors, Labels, Posterior / PDF, Plot, Errors, PDF, Other Results, Sample Instance, Bayesian Evidence, Derived Errors (PDF from samples), Samples Filtering, Latex |

| 24 | +## chapter_3_graphical_models |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- [Tutorial 1: Individual Models](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_1_individual_models.py): In many examples, we fit one model to one dataset. For many problems, we may have a large dataset and are not interested in how well the model fits each individual dataset. Instead, we want to know how the model fits the full dataset, so that we can determine "global" trends of how the model fits the data. |
| 27 | + - Contents: Real World Example, Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Model, Data, Model Fits (one-by-one), Results, Estimating the Centre, Posterior Multiplication, Wrap Up |
| 28 | +- [Tutorial 2: Graphical Models](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_2_graphical_model.py): We have fitted a dataset containing 5 noisy 1D Gaussian which had a shared `centre` value. We estimated the `centre` by fitting each dataset individually and combining the value of the `centre` inferred by each fit into an overall estimate, using a weighted average. |
| 29 | + - Contents: Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model, Analysis Factors, Factor Graph, Search, Result, Wrap Up |
| 30 | +- [Tutorial 3: Graphical Benefits](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_3_graphical_benefits.py): In the previous tutorials, we fitted a dataset containing 5 noisy 1D Gaussian which had a shared `centre` value and compared different approaches to estimate the shared `centre`. This included a simple approach fitting each dataset one-by-one and estimating the centre via a weighted average or posterior multiplication and a more complicated approach using a graphical model. |
| 31 | + - Contents: The Model, Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model (one-by-one), Model Fits (one-by-one), Centre Estimates (Weighted Average), Discussion, Model (Graphical), Analysis Factors, Factor Graph, Search, Result, Discussion, Posterior Multiplication, Wrap Up |
| 32 | +- [Tutorial 4: Hierarchical](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_4_hierachical_models.py): In the previous tutorial, we fitted a graphical model with the aim of determining an estimate of shared parameters, the `centre`'s of a dataset of 1D Gaussians. We did this by fitting all datasets simultaneously. When there are shared parameters in a model, this is a powerful and effective tool, but things may not always be so simple. |
| 33 | + - Contents: Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model Individual Factors, Analysis Factors, Model, Factor Graph, Search, Result, Comparison to One-by-One Fits, Benefits of Graphical Model, Wrap Up |
| 34 | +- [Tutorial 5: Expectation Propagation](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_5_expectation_propagation.py): In the previous tutorials, we fitted graphical models to dataset comprising many noisy 1D Gaussians. These had a shared and global value of their `centre`, or assumed their centres were hierarchically drawn from a parent Gaussian distribution. This provides the basis of composing and fitting complex graphical models to large datasets. |
| 35 | + - Contents: Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model, Analysis Factors, Factor Graph, Expectation Propagation, Cyclic Fitting, Result, Output, Results |
| 36 | +- [Tutorial Optional: Hierarchical Expectation Propagation (EP)](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_optional_hierarchical_ep.py): This optional tutorial gives an example of fitting a hierarchical model using EP. |
| 37 | + - Contents: Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model Individual Factors, Analysis Factors, Model, Factor Graph, Model Fit |
| 38 | +- [Tutorial Optional: Hierarchical Individual](scripts/chapter_3_graphical_models/tutorial_optional_hierarchical_individual.py): In tutorial 4, we fit a hierarchical model using a graphical model, whereby all datasets are fitted simultaneously and the hierarchical parameters are fitted for simultaneously with the model parameters of each 1D Gaussian in each dataset. |
| 39 | + - Contents: Example Source Code (`af.ex`), Dataset, Analysis, Model, Model Fits (one-by-one), Results, Overall Gaussian Parent Distribution, Model, Analysis + Search |
