What is twinLab?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

twinLab is a **probablistic machine learning platform** designed to bring explainable and robust statistical techniques into the hands of industry domain experts without the need to learn a new area.

twinLab uses Gaussian process emulators to analyse the often computationally expensive models that technical experts in industry rely on to make informed decisions about their engineering questions. 

The value
~~~~~~~~~

- **Accelerate** simulations and experiments with explainable parameter optimisation and exploration
- **Quantify** uncertainty in models, experiments and systems to understand risk to operational and safety objectives 
- **Gain** a digital asset in the form of a real-time emulator for active interrogation or digital twinning

Interfaces
~~~~~~~~~~
- Python 
- Excel 
- RESTful API
- Webapp / GUI (Built on request)

Pricing Plans 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
