abstract
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 is open source and has already been used in several published projects in the astrophysics literature. The algorithm behind emcee has several advantages over traditional MCMC sampling methods and it has excellent performance as measured by the autocorrelation time (or function calls per independent sample). One major advantage of the algorithm is that it requires hand-tuning of only 1 or 2 parameters compared to $\sim N^2$ for a traditional algorithm in an N-dimensional parameter space. In this document, we describe the algorithm and the details of our implementation and API. Exploiting the parallelism of the ensemble method, emcee permits any user to take advantage of multiple CPU cores without extra effort. The code is available online at http://dan.iel.fm/emcee under the MIT License.

These mocks do not include contaminants or systematics; however, we analyze them with the model presented in the previous section, which accounts for both.

The resulting samples are then analyzed usingGetDist [146] to obtain marginalized 1D and 2D posterior distributions. Finally, we compare the statistical preference of the current model r

For sampling and likelihood eval- uation, we employ the nested samplerPolyChord, which is well suited for high-dimensional parameter spaces compared to affine-invariant MCMC samplers such asemcee[99-101]. The chains are analyzed usingGetDistto extract the best-fit values [102, 103].

Even though gradient-based sampling methods were implemented, we found that with analytic marginalization over broadband parameters that leaves a few sampled parameters, and using Jax just-in-time compilation and parallelization capabilities, the ensemble sampler emcee [127]21 provided well-sampled posterior estimates in a just a few minutes.
