BayesBay
BayesBay is a user-friendly Python package designed for generalised trans-dimensional and hierarchical Bayesian inference. Optimised computationally through Cython, our library offers multi-processing capabilities and runs seamlessly on both standard computers and computer clusters.
Distinguishing itself from existing packages, BayesBay provides high-level functionalities for defining complex parameterizations. These include prior probabilities that can be specified by uniform, Gaussian, or custom density functions and may vary depending on the spatial position in a hypothetical discretization.
By default, BayesBay employs reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for sampling the posterior probability. It also offers options for parallel tempering or simulated annealing, while its low-level features enable the effortless implementation of arbitrary sampling criteria. Utilising object-oriented programming principles, BayesBay ensures that each component of an inference problem --- such as observed data, forward function(s), and parameterization --- is a self-contained unit. This design facilitates the integration of various forward solvers and data sets, promoting the simultaneous use of multiple data types in the considered inverse problem.
