Python package for conveniently plotting results from pulsar timing array bayesian analyses. Many of the functions are best used with enterprise outputs.

La Forge is available on PyPI:

pip install la-forge

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://la-forge.readthedocs.io.

Features

• Sweep up Bayesian analysis MCMC chains along with sampling info.

• Allow easy retrieval of various samples from chains.

• Support for saving chains as HDF5 files.

• Call chains with parameter names.

• Plot posteriors easily.

• Reconstruct Gaussian process realizations using posterior chains.

• Plot red noise power spectral density.

• Separate consituent models of a hypermodel analysis.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.
