gwpopulation 0.5.0

Unified population inference

[](https://travis-ci.com/ColmTalbot/gwpopulation) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/ColmTalbot/gwpopulation/maintainability) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/ColmTalbot/gwpopulation/test_coverage) [](https://pypi.org/project/gwpopulation/)

A collection of parametric binary black hole mass/spin population models.

These are formatted to be consistent with the [Bilby](https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/bilby) [hyper-parameter inference package](https://lscsoft.docs.ligo.org/bilby/hyperparameters.html).

For an example using this code to analyse the first gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-1) see [here](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ColmTalbot/gwpopulation/blob/master/examples/GWTC1.ipynb).

Most of the models implemented are derived from models presented in one of: - [Talbot & Thrane (2017)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.08370) - [Talbot & Thrane (2018)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.02699) - [Wysocki et al. (2018)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.06442) - [Fishbach et al. (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.10270)

Automatically generated docs can be found [here](https://colmtalbot.github.io/gwpopulation/).

As of v0.5.0 GWPopulation supports only python >= 3.6. See [the python 3 statement](https://python3statement.org/) for more information.
