Optimal Bayesian Experimental Design Version 1.2.0

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2025 at 03:06 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 10, 2023
Python module 'optbayesexpt' uses optimal Bayesian experimental design methods to control measurement settings in order to efficiently determine model parameters. Given an parametric model - analogous to a fitting function - Bayesian inference uses each measurement 'data point' to refine model parameters. Using this information, the software suggests measurement settings that are likely to efficiently reduce uncertainties. A TCP socket interface allows the software to be used from experimental control software written in other programming languages. Code is developed in Python, and shared via GitHub's USNISTGOV organization.
