The dm_control software package is a collection of Python libraries and task suites for reinforcement learning agents in an articulated-body simulation. Infrastructure includes a wrapper for the MuJoCo physics engine and libraries for procedural model manipulation and task authoring. Task suites include the Control Suite, a set of standardized tasks intended to serve as performance…

PM4Py: A process mining library for Python

Alessandro Berti, Sebastiaan van Zelst, Daniel Schuster · 5 Aug 2023

PM4Py is a Python library providing a comprehensive array of tools for process mining. This paper presents an in-depth overview of the PM4Py library, including its integration with other Python libraries and its latest features, such as object-centric process mining. Furthermore, we discuss the significant impact of PM4Py within academia, industry, and the open-source community,…

oemof.solph—A model generator for linear and mixed-integer linear optimisation of energy systems

Uwe Krien, Patrik Schönfeldt, Jann Launer et al. · 20 Aug 2020

Energy system modelling is of high importance to investigate different scenarios in their technical, economical and environmental feasibility. The interplay of different technologies and energy flows in respective models can be represented as directed graphs in a generic but comprehensible formalism. However, additional effort is needed to create specific models and to derive an optimal…

InteractionR: An R package for full reporting of effect modification and interaction

Babatunde Y. Alli · 27 Sep 2021

<h2>Abstract</h2> Effect modification and/or Interaction are frequently assessed in epidemiological research. However, in most cases, authors do not present sufficient information for the readers to fully assess the extent and significance of interaction on both additive and multiplicative scale. Also, due to being readily available in most software, the delta method has proliferated in the…
