A photometric redshift monstrosity

#### A photometric redshift monstrosity.

WARNING: This project is under active development and not yet stable.

frankenz is a Pure Python implementation of a variety of methods to quickly yet robustly perform (hierarchical) Bayesian inference using large (but discrete) sets of (possibly noisy) models with (noisy) photometric data. The code also contains a number of additional utilities, including: - a module for generating quick mocks (along with filter curves and SEDs), - several manifold-learning algorithms, - a flexible set of photometric likelihoods, - fast kernel density estimation, and - PDF-oriented plotting utilities.

Paper forthcoming.
