Overview

Table of Contents

version 1.0

HEPfit is a flexible tool which, given the Standard Model or any extension, allows to:

  • fit the model parameters to a given set of experimental observables
  • obtain fit results for observables
  • obtain predictions for observables

The HEPfit library can be used:

  • to perform a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis of the implemented model using BAT support
  • to perform a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis of user defined models and/or observables using BAT support
  • to perform a user defined statistical analysis with the models and observables implemented in the library
  • to perform a user defined statistical analysis with user defined models and/or observables

The Markov Chain Monte Carlo is based on the BAT (Bayesian Analysis Toolkit) library.
