EMMA (Emma's Markov Model Algorithms)

What is it?

PyEMMA (EMMA = Emma's Markov Model Algorithms) is an open source Python/C package for analysis of extensive molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, it includes algorithms for estimation, validation and analysis of:

• Clustering and Featurization
• Markov state models (MSMs)
• Hidden Markov models (HMMs)
• Multi-ensemble Markov models (MEMMs)
• Time-lagged independent component analysis (TICA)
• Transition Path Theory (TPT)

PyEMMA can be used from Jupyter (former IPython, recommended), or by writing Python scripts. The docs, can be found at http://pyemma.org.

Installation

If you want to use Miniconda on Linux or OSX, you can run this script to download and install everything:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markovmodel/PyEMMA/devel/install_miniconda%2Bpyemma.sh | bash

If you have Anaconda/Miniconda installed, use the following:

conda install -c conda-forge pyemma

With pip:

pip install pyemma

or install latest devel branch with pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/markovmodel/PyEMMA.git@devel

For a complete guide to installation, please have a look at the version online or offline in file doc/source/INSTALL.rst
