PESummary: the code agnostic Parameter Estimation Summary page builder

Abstract

PESummary is a Python software package for processing and visualising data from any parameter estimation code. The easy to use Python executable scripts and extensive online documentation has resulted in PESummary becoming a key component in the international gravitational-wave analysis toolkit. PESummary has been developed to be more than just a post-processing tool with all outputs fully self-contained. PESummary has become central to making gravitational-wave inference analysis open and easily reproducible.
