Running FitBenchmarking¶
Once installed, issuing the command
fitbenchmarking
will run the NIST test example on SciPy minmizers.
Running alternative problems¶
Other problems written in a supported file format
can be analyzed with FitBenchmarking by
passing the path using the --problem-sets
(or -p
) option.
Some example problems can be downloaded from
Benchmark problems, and they can also be found in the
fitbenchmarking/examples
directory of the code.
For example, to run the NIST low difficulty set from the base directory of the source, type into the terminal:
fitbenchmarking -p examples/benchmark_problems/NIST/low_difficulty
Changing the options¶
An options file can also be passed with the -o
argument. For example,
the template file can be run by issuing the command
fitbenchmarking -o examples/options_template.ini \
-p examples/benchmark_problems/NIST/low_difficulty
Details about how the options file must be formatted are given in FitBenchmarking Options.
Running fitbenchmarking -h
will give more guidance about available commands,
including examples of how to run multiple problem sets.
