The Python ensemble sampling toolkit for MCMC

The Python ensemble sampling toolkit for affine-invariant MCMC

emcee is a stable, well tested Python implementation of the affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) proposed by Goodman & Weare (2010). The code is open source and has already been used in several published projects in the Astrophysics literature.
