Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion

This package uses a Bayesian formulation and Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling methods to derive posterior distributions of subsurface and measured data properties. The current implementation is applied to time and frequency domain electromagnetic data. Application outside of these data types is in development.
