B-FADE: Bayesian FAtigue moDel Estimator

The package implements Maximum a Posteriori Estimation (MAP) to accomplish the estimation of fatigue models' parameters. Currently the package is designed to identify the El Haddad (EH) curve given a fatigue & defectivity characterisation dataset. Other curves are foreseen in future developments.

Features

• Maximum a Posteriori Estimation and computation of the predictive posterior.
• Monte Carlo Estimation of the prediction interval for the considered curve.
• Data pre-processing & visualisation.

Quick Setup

B-FADE is available at PyPI, so it can be installed using common package managers, such as pip or conda:

pip install --user b-fade

conda install b-fade
