Pypomp
Pypomp is a Python/JAX library for modeling and inference using partially observed Markov process (POMP) models, also called state-space models or hidden Markov models.

Installation
Install Pypomp using pip:
pip install pypomp
📝 Note: Pypomp is powered by JAX for GPU acceleration and just-in-time (JIT) compilation. To configure JAX for GPU computing, please follow the JAX Installation Guide.
Quick Start
Get started quickly by running a particle filter on a built-in Linear Gaussian model:
import jax
import pypomp as pp
# 1. Initialize a built-in Linear Gaussian model with 50 time steps
model = pp.models.lg(T=50)
# 2. Run the particle filter with J=1000 particles
key = jax.random.key(1)
model.pfilter(J=1000, key=key)
# 3. Retrieve and print the estimated log-likelihood using .results()
results_df = model.results()
log_lik = results_df["logLik"].iloc[0]
print(f"Log-Likelihood: {log_lik:.4f}")
Expected Users
-
Scientists wanting to perform data analysis on a dynamic system via a POMP model.
-
Researchers wishing to develop novel inference methodology. Pypomp provides an abstract representation of POMP models that enables researchers to develop, test, and deploy novel algorithms applicable to arbitrary nonlinear non-Gaussian POMP models.
-
Researchers familiar with the pomp R package. Pypomp extends R-pomp by supporting GPU computing, automatic differentiation, and just-in-time compilation. Conceptually, Pypomp is similar to R-pomp, and so case studies listed in the R-pomp package bibliography are pertinent.
Key Features
-
State & Parameter Inference: Parameter estimation, model evaluation, and latent state estimation for nonlinear, non-Gaussian POMP models via the particle filter.
-
Differentiable Particle Filtering: Gradient descent using a new particle filter gradient estimate. This provides state-of-the-art simulation-based maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference.
-
JAX-Backed Performance: Leverages JAX to provide GPU support, automatic differentiation, and just-in-time compilation.
