JITted PTA analysis code for use with modern MC samplers such as NUTS. At one point I thought had some clever acronym set up for the name, something like Enhanced PTA analyses ThroUgh Derivative-based Sampling methods. It was too clunky... and the "U" felt shoehorned in. You can call it that if you want. I probably won't.
Currently the best way to install etudes is through a pip installation of this git repository. Something like the following should do the trick.
pip install git+https://github.com/gabefreedman/etudes.git
See examples folder for tips on setting up a continuous gravitational wave source with a common red-noise process included in the model. The example sets up the model and sampler. From there it can be extrapolated to more complicated (or simpler) modeling choices. Other example scripts will be added in the future.
Fix bug in per-pulsar white-noise backend selection and redeploy.- Add and test pulsar term inclusion in CW delay functions.
- Options for varied EFAC, EQUAD, GP_ECORR for models with
backend_select=True. - More example notebooks/scripts.
I'm only really familiar with the broader repertoire for piano. The Scriabin Etude in D-sharp minor Op.8 No. 12 is an all-time favorite. The Chopin Etude in E-Major Op. 10 No. 3 is also up there. How about you?
