Ab Initio Real-Time Gravitational-Wave Parameter Estimation

David Yallup, Metha Prathaban, James Alvey +4

We present a specialised GPU-native nested sampling kernel targeting rapid parameter estimation for gravitational wave inference problems. Building upon a Slice-within-Gibbs (SwiG)…

Rapid Hubble constant inference from GW170817 using GPU-accelerated nested sampling: prior sensitivity and the limits of post-hoc reweighting

Ming Han Yang, Metha Prathaban, David Yallup +1

The bright-siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017) assumes that switching from a volumetric to a uniform-in- luminosity-distance prior can…

Leveraging rapid parameter estimates for efficient gravitational-wave Bayesian inference via posterior repartitioning

Metha Prathaban, Charlie Hoy, Michael J. Williams

Gravitational-wave astronomy typically relies on rigorous, computationally expensive Bayesian analyses. Several methods have also been developed to perform rapid, approximate Bayes…

Parallel Nested Slice Sampling for Gravitational Wave Parameter Estimation

David Yallup, Metha Prathaban, James Alvey +1

Inferring parameters and testing hypotheses from gravitational wave signals is a computationally intensive task central to modern astrophysics. Nested sampling, a Bayesian inferenc…

Gravitational-wave inference at GPU speed: A bilby-like nested sampling kernel within blackjax-ns

Metha Prathaban, David Yallup, James Alvey +3

We present a GPU-accelerated implementation of the gravitational-wave Bayesian inference pipeline for parameter estimation and model comparison. Specifically, we implement the `acc…

Accelerated nested sampling with posterior repartitioning and -flows for gravitational waves

Metha Prathaban, Harry Bevins, Will Handley

There is an ever-growing need in the gravitational wave community for fast and reliable inference methods, accompanied by an informative error bar. Nested sampling satisfies the la…

Costless correction of chain based nested sampling parameter estimation in gravitational wave data and beyond

Metha Prathaban, Will Handley

Nested sampling parameter estimation differs from evidence estimation, in that it incurs an additional source of uncertainty. This uncertainty affects estimates of parameter means…

Rescuing Palindromic Universes with Improved Recombination Modelling

Metha Prathaban, Will Handley

We explore the linearly quantised primordial power spectra associated with palindromic universes. Extending the results of Lasenby et al. [1] and Bartlett et al. [2], we improve th…
