BayesianEstimationTool (BET)

DOI

BayesianEstimationTool fits population-level parameters and individual-specific latent variables with NumPyro inference methods.

Installation and examples

BET requires Python 3.10 or newer. Install from PyPI:

python -m pip install BayesianEstimationTool

Copy the bundled runnable examples and PDF/Markdown documentation into an editable BET-Examples/ folder in your current directory:

python -m BayesianEstimationTool.ExampleInstaller

Run an example with python BET-Examples/1_SimpleExampleNuts.py. The installer creates a Documentation/ subfolder with the manual and cheatsheet in Markdown and PDF; it does not download from GitHub or overwrite an existing BET-Examples/ folder.

Documentation

Start here:

  • Manual (Markdown) — model contracts, likelihoods, masking, JAX modeling, inference, persistence, and testing.
  • Manual (PDF) — printable manual. If GitHub cannot preview the PDF, download it to view locally.
  • Cheatsheet (Markdown) — compact API reference and common workflows.
  • Cheatsheet (PDF) — one-page printable reference. If GitHub cannot preview the PDF, download it to view locally.

Installation details

To copy examples to a different parent directory:

python -m BayesianEstimationTool.ExampleInstaller ~/Documents

Alternative installation methods

Alternatively, install the latest source directly from GitHub:

python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/rafaelrbravo/BayesianEstimationTool.git"

You can also download a wheel (.whl) or source archive (.tar.gz) from GitHub Releases and install it with python -m pip install PATH_TO_DOWNLOADED_FILE.

Verify installation:

python -c "import BayesianEstimationTool as bet; print(bet.Estimator)"

For editable development from a source checkout, run python -m pip install -e . in the repository root. The conda recipe in conda-recipe/meta.yaml is for local builds; BET is not yet published on conda-forge.

See the manual for the minimal model and training examples.
