NLPy documentation

Release:0.2 Date:September 03, 2010

Warning

Much remains to be done in terms of documentation. For now, the paper and inline documentation are all there is. With time, these pages will grow. Inline documentation is reproduced below in much more readable form. Please alert me of all errors or insufficient documentation strings.

Some pages of this documentation display equations via the jsMath package. They should look reasonably good with most setups but the best rendering is obtained by installing the TeX fonts. Please refer to http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/users/welcome.html.
