BASIL-CORE: Bayesian Analytic Sampling and Integrating Library - Compiled and low-dependency utilities

Basil Core

BASIL (Bayesian Analytic Sampling and Integrating Library) Core utilities;

Core utilities: A bunch of c functions that are faster than numpy matrix operations (and more conservative of your computer's RAM).

I am using this primarily in gravitational-wave population synthesis, for postprocessing with different binary evolution simulations.

User guide and jupyter notebooks incoming TBD.

stats

basil_core.stats.distance Right now, this includes a Bhattacharyya distance, Helinski distance, and relative entropy calculation The relative entropy calculation has the advantage that it can accept pre-computed log values for P and Q.

Astro

basil_core.astro.coordinates includes many coordinate transforms useful for GW astronomy, including chieff/chiminus transformations and tidal deformability parameters.

basil_core.astro.orbit includes many useful napkin calculations for GW astronomy, such as a timescale for a GW merger as a function of radius. Many of these were adapted from hush

Installation:

python3 -m pip install basil-core
