Python package for conveniently plotting results from pulsar timing array bayesian analyses. Many of the functions are best used with enterprise outputs.

La Forge is available on PyPI:

pip install la-forge

Features

  • Sweep up Bayesian analysis MCMC chains along with sampling info.
  • Allow easy retrieval of various samples from chains.
  • Support for saving chains as HDF5 files.
  • Call chains with parameter names.
  • Plot posteriors easily.
  • Reconstruct Gaussian process realizations using posterior chains.
  • Plot red noise power spectral density.
  • Separate consituent models of a hypermodel analysis.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.
