+# Persistence Model for use with the PyEarthTools Package
+
+**TODO: description**
+
+## Installation
+
+Clone the repository, then run
+```shell
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Training
+
+No training is required for this model. It computes persistence on-the-fly using historical data loaded via the PET pipeline.
+
+## Predictions / Inference
+
+You can generate persistence values out of the box using the `pet predict` command line API, or by using a Jupyter Notebook as demonstrated in the tutorial gallery.
+
+```shell
+pet predict
+```
+
+and `Development/Persistence` should be visible.
+
+If so, you can now run some inference.
+
+```shell
+pet predict --model Development/Persistence
+```
+
+When running the command, it will prompt for other required arguments.
+
+**TODO: description of required arguments**
+
+
+#### Example
+
+```shell
+pet predict --model Development/Persistence # TODO
+```
+
+## Acknowledgments
+
+Not applicable. Heuristically developed.

+        - NUMPY (20260228)
+        - others are WIP
+
+    Note: "supported" implies that the backend is supported by the build system, it does not imply

+
+    ---
+
+    Backends are configured at the "build" level in pyproject.toml, e.g. for rust this may be
+    maturin/pyO3, which usually handles most of the heavy lifting.
+
+    numba might require certain system dependencies - e.g. llvm, to function since it requires
+    building on the fly.
+
+    For C/zig this would involve using:
+        a. ziglang/zig-pypi to build the zig packages into wheels and running them on the fly using
+           sys.execute to execute the wheel as a module, building/running zig on-the-fly. Avoids
+           having to distribute the pre-built dependencies, but may not work well with specific
+           interfaces like `numpy`.
+        b. using setuptools-zig to build them into a "integrated" library and packaging the build
+           into the wheel/distribution
+        c. using cffi or ctypes.
+
+    Methods a. and b. would require extending Python.h directly, and hence are preferrable, since
+    they don't involve foreign calls. Unlike numba, method a. exists for zig where jit compilation
+    can happen without dependency on additional system libraries.
+
+    All of the above methods generally avoid (or at least have the ability to avoid) the need for
+    conda environments and are pretty light weight.
