Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Now, let's define the MFCTagger class."

A block of code is set as follows:

from hmmlearn.hmm import GaussianHMM
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

pip install matplotlib datetime

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "The possible states of the outcomes are also known as the domain of the random variable."
