34 **The ADAO module provides data assimilation and optimization** features in
35 Python [Python]_ or SALOME context [Salome]_.
37 Briefly stated, Data Assimilation is a methodological framework to compute the
38 optimal estimate of the inaccessible true value of a system state, eventually
39 over time. It uses information coming from experimental measurements or
40 observations, and from numerical *a priori* models, including information about
41 their errors. Parts of the framework are also known under the names of
42 *parameter estimation*, *inverse problems*, *Bayesian estimation*, *optimal
43 interpolation*, *field reconstruction*, etc. More details can be found in the
44 section :ref:`section_theory`.
46 The documentation for this module is divided into several major categories,
47 related to the theoretical documentation (indicated in the section title by
48 **[DocT]**), to the user documentation (indicated in the section title by
49 **[DocU]**), and to the reference documentation (indicated in the section title
52 The first part is the :ref:`section_intro`. The second part introduces
53 :ref:`section_theory`, and their concepts, and the next part describes the
54 :ref:`section_methodology`. For a standard user, the next parts describe
55 examples on ADAO usage as :ref:`section_tutorials_in_salome` or
56 :ref:`section_tutorials_in_python`, then indicates the :ref:`section_advanced`,
57 with how to obtain additional information or how to use non-GUI command
58 execution scripting. Users interested in quick use of the module can stop
59 before reading the rest, but a valuable use of the module requires to read and
60 come back regularly to these parts. The following parts describe
61 :ref:`section_gui_in_salome` and :ref:`section_tui`. The last main part gives a
62 detailed :ref:`section_reference`, with three essential main sub-parts
63 describing the details of commands and options of the algorithms. A
64 :ref:`section_glossary`, some :ref:`section_notations`, a
65 :ref:`section_bibliography` and an extensive :ref:`genindex` are included in
66 the document. And, to comply with the module requirements, be sure to read the
67 part :ref:`section_license`.
