Probabilistic Numerics in Python.

Probabilistic Numerics in Python

Probabilistic Numerics (PN) interprets classic numerical routines as inference procedures by taking a probabilistic viewpoint. This allows principled treatment of uncertainty arising from finite computational resources. The vision of probabilistic numerics is to provide well-calibrated probability measures over the output of a numerical routine, which then can be propagated along the chain of computation.

This repository aims to implement methods from PN in Python 3 and to provide a common interface for them. This is currently a work in progress, therefore interfaces are subject to change.
