Abacus IDE Docs
Abacus IDE is the Abacus Integrated Data (Modelling) Environment for running the Abacus Bayesian marketing mix modeling workflow end to end.
The IDE is workflow-first. It is designed to help marketing scientists, analysts, and model operators move through one MMM engagement from inputs to run execution, diagnostics, optimisation, planner hand-off, and export without stitching together folders, terminals, and ad hoc notebooks.
The Abacus MMM library has its own detailed documentation in the adjacent
abacus repository. These IDE docs focus on:
- how to use the product shell
- how to load inputs and launch runs
- how to read the workflow stages
- how the native planner fits into the end-to-end workflow
