Hi Cavan, Our documentation on model parameters is not great, so I created this ticket to track progress on filling it in: https://github.com/numenta/nupic/issues/1214.
You can find the docs we do have here: https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Models#modelparams-schema Also, have you seen these wiki pages about swarms? - https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Running-Swarms - https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Swarming-Algorithm Regards, --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta On Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 7:40 AM, Cavan Day-Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > Classification: NPL Management Ltd - Commercial > > Hi, > > > > I was wondering if someone could answer some questions I have about > swarming? > > > > In the “rec_centre_hourly_model_params.py” file (using the hotgym tutorial > as an example) outputted after a swarm what do the parameters it produces > mean?
