The Posterior Object
- class radvel.posterior.Posterior(likelihood)[source]
Posterior object Posterior object to be sent to the fitting routines. It is essentially the same as the Likelihood object, but priors are applied here. :param likelihood: Likelihood object :type likelihood: radvel.likelihood.Likelihood :param params: parameters object :type params: radvel.model.Parameters
Note
Append radvel.prior.Prior objects to the Posterior.priors list to apply priors in the likelihood calculations.
- logprob()[source]
Log probability Log-probability for the likelihood given the list of priors in Posterior.priors. :returns: log probability of the likelihood + priors :rtype: float
- logprob_array(param_values_array)[source]
Log probability for parameter vector Same as self.logprob, but will take a vector of parameter values. Useful as the objective function for routines that optimize a vector of parameter values instead of the dictionary-like format of the radvel.model.Parameters object. :returns: log probability of the likelihood + priors :rtype: float
