Description

Gleipnir is a python toolkit that provides an easy to use interface for Bayesian parameter inference and model selection using Nested Sampling. It has a built-in implementation of the Nested Sampling algorithm but also provides a common interface to the Nested Sampling implementations MultiNest, PolyChord, dyPolyChord, DNest4, and Nestle. Although Gleipnir provides a general framework for running Nested Sampling simulations, it was created with biological models in mind. It therefore supplies additional tools for working with biological models in the PySB format (see the PySB Utilities section). Likewise, Gleipnir's API was designed to be familiar to users of PyDREAM and simplePSO, which are primarily used for biological model calibration.

 

Notes

This version includes several feature additions to the nestedsample_it module as well a some bug fixes. Feature additions include support for custom user-defined loglikelihood functions in NestedSampleIt class objects, new functions in the NestIt class to bulk add parameters and functions to alter the default prior used for parameters.
