bumps 1.0.0a8

Data fitting with bayesian uncertainty analysis

Bumps provides data fitting and Bayesian uncertainty modeling for inverse problems. It has a variety of optimization algorithms available for locating the most like value for function parameters given data, and for exploring the uncertainty around the minimum.

Installation is with the usual python installation command:

pip install bumps

Once the system is installed, you can verify that it is working with:

bumps doc/examples/peaks/model.py --chisq

Documentation is available at readthedocs. See CHANGES.rst for details on recent changes.

If a compiler is available, then significant speedup is possible for DREAM using:

(cd bumps/dream && cc compiled.c -I ../../Random123/include/ -O2 -fopenmp -shared -lm -o _compiled.so -fPIC)

For now this requires an install from source rather than pip.
