Example Usage
From a python terminal, script, or notebook:
import suncal
u = suncal.Model('A*B')
u.var('A').measure(100).typeb(unc=0.1)
u.var('B').measure(2).typeb(unc=0.01)
u.calculate()
See the PDF user's manual and the example notebook files in the docs folder for a complete reference guide.
Command-line script
A script named suncal will be installed to your system path. From a command line, run:
