Data-driven stellar parameters and abundances from spectra

Project description

This is the code associated with The Cannon, a new data-driven method for determining stellar labels (physical parameters and chemical abundances) from stellar spectra in the context of vast spectroscopic surveys. It closely follows the method outlined in Ness et al. 2015, although some minor changes have been made. A list of these changes will be outlined in Ho et al. (in prep.)

Documentation for The Cannon can be found here.
