Barrett: out-of-core processing of MultiNest output

Abstract

Barrett is a Python package for processing and visualising statistical inferences made using the nested sampling algorithm MultiNest. The main differential feature from competitors are full out-of-core processing allowing barrett to handle arbitrarily large datasets. This is achieved by using the HDF5 data format.
