摘要:

我们提出了宇宙学的贝叶斯抽样算法CosmoPMC(宇宙学人口蒙特卡罗)的公开发布。CosmoPMC探索了各种宇宙学探测器的参数空间,并提供了贝叶斯证据的鲁棒估计。CosmoPMC基于一种称为人口蒙特卡罗(PMC)的自适应重要性抽样方法。实现了各种宇宙学似然模块,并且可以很容易地添加新模块。重要性采样算法是用C语言编写的,并使用消息传递接口(MPI)完全并行化。由于开销非常小,采样所需的挂钟时间大约与CPU数量成比例。CosmoPMC软件包包含后处理和绘图程序,以及Monte-Carlo Markov chain(MCMC)算法。采样引擎在pmclib库中实现,可以独立使用。该软件可在http://www.cosmopmc.info下载。

英文摘要:

We present the public release of the Bayesian sampling algorithm for cosmology, CosmoPMC (Cosmology Population Monte Carlo). CosmoPMC explores the parameter space of various cosmological probes, and also provides a robust estimate of the Bayesian evidence. CosmoPMC is based on an adaptive importance sampling method called Population Monte Carlo (PMC). Various cosmology likelihood modules are implemented, and new modules can be added easily. The importance-sampling algorithm is written in C, and fully parallelised using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Due to very little overhead, the wall-clock time required for sampling scales approximately with the number of CPUs. The CosmoPMC package contains post-processing and plotting programs, and in addition a Monte-Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) algorithm. The sampling engine is implemented in the library pmclib, and can be used independently. The software is available for download at http://www.cosmopmc.info.
