.. _interactive-notebooks: ************************** Interactive Mode Notebooks ************************** We present some notebooks demonstrating usage of RAIL in interactive mode. =============== Getting Started =============== There are two recommended starting points: 1. If you just want to get some photometric redshifts, then `Using Photometry to Estimate Photometric Redshifts `_ should cover most of of what you need. 2. If you are looking for a more general introduction to all of RAIL, start with `Estimating Photometric Redshifts with RAIL Stages and Comparing Results for Different Parameters `_. For a walkthrough of some of the basics of RAIL interactive, and some of the steps covered in `Using Photometry to Estimate Photometric Redshifts `_, watch this `tutorial recording. `_ If you'd like to go even more in-depth into creating data, take a look at `Exploring the Effects of Degraders `_. For a less-detailed overview of a full RAIL workflow, there's the `Goldenspike `_ notebook. ================= Exploring Further ================= There are many more notebooks that you can explore, if you're looking for something specific. They are split up into four main categories: * `Core Examples `_: These notebooks provide examples of some of the utilities and base functionalities of RAIL. * `Creation Examples `_: These notebooks cover how to create realistic simulated photometric data with RAIL. * `Estimation Examples `_: These notebooks show how to use the various estimation algorithms that are currently a part of RAIL. * `Evaluation Examples `_: These notebooks cover how to use the evaluation algorithms that are included with RAIL to get metrics on how well the estimated photometric redshifts represent the true redshifts.
