About
-----
Posterior distributions and corner plots without MCMC?
No dealing with convergence criteria?
Yes!
Tailored for low-dimensional (d<10) problems with a single mode,
this package automatically finds the best fit and uses the local covariance matrix
as a Laplace Approximation. Then Importance Sampling and Variational Bayes come
in to improve from a single-gaussian approximation to more complex shapes.
This allows sampling efficiently in some problems, and provides a estimate
for the marginal likelihood.
This package is built on top the excellent (i)minuit and pypmc packages.
You can help by testing snowline and reporting issues. Code contributions are welcome.
