BAT
0.9.4
The Bayesian analysis toolkit
|
The Bayesian Analysis Toolkit is a software analysis package which allows to address the main goals of a typical data analysis:
The BAT is based on Bayes' Theorem and is realized with the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo. This gives access to the full posterior probability distribution and enables straightforward parameter estimation, limit setting and uncertainty propagation.
The BAT is implemented in C++ on top of CERN's ROOT with emphasis put on flexibility and modularity in defining models while keeping in mind the reliability and speed requirements of the numerical operations.
