pybmc 0.1.2

A package for Bayesian model combination

pyBMC: A General Bayesian Model Combination Package

pyBMC is a Python package for performing Bayesian Model Combination (BMC) on various predictive models. It provides tools for data handling, orthogonalization, Gibbs sampling, and prediction with uncertainty quantification.

Features

• Data Management: Load and preprocess nuclear mass data from HDF5 and CSV files
• Orthogonalization: Transform model predictions using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)
• Bayesian Inference: Perform Gibbs sampling for model combination
• Uncertainty Quantification: Generate predictions with credible intervals
• Model Evaluation: Calculate coverage statistics for model validation

Installation
