NIFTy "Numerical Information Field Theory", is a versatile library designed to enable the development of signal inference algorithms that are independent of the underlying grids (spatial, spectral, temporal, …) and their resolutions. Its object-oriented framework is written in Python, although it accesses libraries written in C++ and C for efficiency.

5. Updates on BAT.jl, a Bayesian Analysis Toolkit in Julia

Oliver Schulz (Max Planck for Physics)

BAT.jl is a Bayesian Analysis Toolkit implemented in the Julia language. It is a high high-performance tool box for Bayesian inference with statistical models expressed in a general-purpose programming language, instead of a domain-specific language.

Typical applications for this package are the extraction of the values of the parameters of a model, the comparison of different models in...
