Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo Line Fitting Routine
Developed by: Jared Keown
The mcmc_line_fitting.py code was designed to find the set of model parameters that best describe molecular gas emission spectra from dense, star forming clouds. It currently uses the HILL5 radiative transfer infall/outflow model by De Vries et al. (2005), but can easily be adapted to fit other models to different types of data.
This directory also contains a sample spectra that can be used to test the code, as well as the mcmc_params_plotter.py code that creates histograms and triangle plots of the maximum likelihood parameters of the model.
