Jaxampler 🧪 - A JAX-based statistical sampling toolkit

Jaxampler 🧪 is a statistical sampling toolkit built on top of JAX. It provides a set of high-performance sampling algorithms for a wide range of statistical distributions. Jaxampler is designed to be easy to use and integrate with existing JAX workflows. It is also designed to be extensible, allowing users to easily add new sampling algorithms and statistical distributions.

Jaxampler is currently in the early stages of development and is not yet ready for production use. However, we welcome contributions from the community to help us improve the library. If you are interested in contributing, please refer to our contribution guidelines.

Features

• 🚀 High-Performance Sampling: Leverage the power of JAX for high-speed, accurate sampling.
