## Installation

The easiest way to install coco-experiment is using `pip` (preferably in a virtual environment):

```python
pip install -U coco-experiment
```

## Usage

Similar to scikit-learn, the name of the coco-experiment module is _not_ `coco-experiment` but rather `cocoex`.
To get started, take a look at the [simple example experiment][expy].
