Welcome to the LSST project Simulations Group's MAF contributions wiki!

If you have a nice demo of the Metric Analysis Framework code in action in your science area, please add it to the list below. If you want to run the examples yourself, here are some notes to help you get started with installing everything and setting up your shell.

There are also a number of MAF examples written up as ipython notebooks in the sims_maf_notebooks repository. This is a good place to start when thinking about writing a new metric.
