<!-- SPHINX-START -->
Simulations of physical systems are often slow and need lots of compute, which makes them unpractical for real-world applications like digital twins, or when they have to run thousands of times for sensitivity analyses. The goal of AutoEmulate is to make it easy to replace simulations with fast, accurate emulators. To do this, AutoEmulate automatically fits and compares various emulators, ranging from simple models like Radial Basis Functions and Second Order Polynomials to more complex models like Support Vector Machines and Gaussian Processes to find the best emulator for a simulation.
