# Estimator Examples

TensorFlow Estimators are a high-level API for TensorFlow that allows you to
create, train, and use deep learning models easily.

See the [Quickstart tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/estimator)
for an introduction to the API.

To run most of these examples, you need to install the `scikit learn` library
(`pip install -U scikit-learn`). Some examples use the `pandas` library for data
processing (`pip install -U pandas`).
