zeus-mcmc 1.0.0

zeus: Lightning Fast MCMC

zeus is a pure-Python implementation of the Ensemble Slice Sampling method.

• Fast & Robust Bayesian Inference,
• No hand-tuning,
• Excellent performance in terms of autocorrelation time and convergence rate,
• Scale to multiple CPUs without any extra effort.

Example

For instance, if you wanted to draw samples from a 10-dimensional Gaussian, you would do something like:

import numpy as np
import zeus

def logp(x, ivar):
    return - 0.5 * np.sum(ivar * x**2.0)

nsteps, nwalkers, ndim = 1000, 100, 10
ivar = 1.0 / np.random.rand(ndim)
start = np.random.rand(ndim)

sampler = zeus.sampler(logp, nwalkers, ndim, args=[ivar])
sampler.run(start, nsteps)
