BATS - Bayesian Adaptive Trial Simulator
=========================

Introduction
-----------

Bayesian Adaptive Trial Simulator (BATS) is a Qt-based software used to perform simulation for Bayeisan Multi-arm Multi-stage design.

Installation
------------

Users can install BATS through an installer with no dependencies (The msi installer only works in Windows now), or through PyPI, which requires Python 3.4 +, several packages and GNU Scientific Library (GSL):

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install BATS

**Dependencies**:

* Numpy
* Pandas
* Matplotlib
* Cython
* `cythonGSL <https://github.com/twiecki/CythonGSL>`_
* `PyQt5 <https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5>`_

**Other dependencies**:

The module requires GNU Scientific Library (`GSL <https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>`_) to be installed on user's operating system, because it use the GSL module to draw random variables and calculate choose functions.

* `GSL <https://code.google.com/archive/p/oscats/downloads>`_ For Windows Port.

**Install cythonGSL**

$ pip install numpy pandas matplotlib cython PyQt5

**Install GSL on Windows (Python 3.4 required)**

Download GSL from the link above, following the `instructions <http://joonro.github.io/blog/posts/installing-gsl-and-cythongsl-in-windows.html>`_, Cython will also require a `C/C++ compiler <https://github.com/cython/cython/wiki/CythonExtensionsOnWindows>`_ to complie the code into Python module.

**Install the Python Dependencies and GSL on Linux**:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip3 install numpy pandas matplotlib cython PyQt5

$ apt-get install libgsl2
