Probabilistically forecast astronomical masses and radii
Project description
astro-forecaster (forecaster 2ish)
An internally overhauled but fundamentally similar version of Forecaster by Jingjing Chen and David Kipping, originally presented in arXiv:1603.08614 and hosted at https://github.com/chenjj2/forecaster.
The model itself has not changed- no new data was included and the hyperparameter file was not regenerated. All functions were rewritten to take advantage of Numpy vectorization, a few helper functions were added, and the whole thing was rolled into a pip
installable package.
Install
To install this package with pip
, run
pip install astro-forecaster
Changes
Changes include but are not limited to:
- Rewriting all functions to take advantage of Numpy vectorization
- Including the ability to input asymmetric uncertainties in mass or radius
- Enabling pip installation

If used, please cite the original Forecaster paper and the bibcode for this implementation eventually hosted on the Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL).
