dynesty

(code for comparing the applicability of multiple models)

Dynesty is a code (a Python package) that takes observation data and two or more models and evaluates the likelihood of each model given the data. It uses Bayesian method termed dynamic nested sampling to carry this out. Dynamic nested sampling, in turn, is a variant on nested sampling.
