The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury IV. A Probabilistic Approach to Inferring the High Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function and Other Power-law Functions
Daniel R. Weisz, Morgan Fouesneau, David W. Hogg +13
We present a probabilistic approach for inferring the parameters of the present day power-law stellar mass function (MF) of a resolved young star cluster. This technique (a) fully…
Probabilistic Catalogs for Crowded Stellar Fields
Brendon J. Brewer, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, David W. Hogg
We present and implement a probabilistic (Bayesian) method for producing catalogs from images of stellar fields. The method is capable of inferring the number of sources N in the i…
emcee: The MCMC Hammer
Daniel Foreman-Mackey, David W. Hogg, Dustin Lang +1
We introduce a stable, well tested Python implementation of the affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) proposed by Goodman & Weare (2010). The code i…
