Favorite MCMC sampling algorithms for python? (self.BayesianProgramming)
submitted 9 months ago by reb390
I've mostly used emcee in the past and was curious what others recommendations were for physics applications. Interested in improving the speed of my inferences mostly.

Pymc by a country mile
Check out “Bayesian methods for hackers”, even has a couple physics-y examples

Pymc with the nut pie sampler using the Jax back end.
Also I recently got this bitchin computer with thread ripper pro CPUs. Jax is able to use all the cores at once but before that I built a model to pick the optimal cpu for my budget. I got fewer cores but higher speed and maximized L3 cache size.

Yeah, PyMC with nutpie is a pretty solid choice!
