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.
