*exoplanet* is a toolkit for probabilistic modeling of transit and/or radial
velocity observations of `exoplanets <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet>`_
and other astronomical time series using `PyMC3 <https://docs.pymc.io>`_.
*PyMC3* is a flexible and high-performance model building language and
inference engine that scales well to problems with a large number of
parameters. *exoplanet* extends *PyMC3*'s language to support many of the
custom functions and distributions required when fitting exoplanet datasets.
These features include:
* A fast and robust solver for Kepler's equation.
* Scalable Gaussian Processes using `celerite
<https://celerite.readthedocs.io>`_.
* Fast and accurate limb darkened light curves using `starry
<https://rodluger.github.io/starry>`_.
* Common reparameterizations for `limb darkening parameters
<https://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0009>`_, and `planet radius and impact
parameter <https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.04859>`_.
* And many others!
All of these functions and distributions include methods for efficiently
calculating their *gradients* so that they can be used with gradient-based
inference methods like `Hamiltonian Monte Carlo <https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.1901>`_,
`No U-Turns Sampling <https://arxiv.org/abs/1111.4246>`_, and `variational
inference <https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.00788>`_. These methods tend to be more
robust than the methods more commonly used in astronomy (like `ensemble
samplers <https://emcee.readthedocs.io>`_ and `nested sampling
<https://ccpforge.cse.rl.ac.uk/gf/project/multinest/>`_) especially when the
model has more than a few parameters. For many exoplanet applications,
*exoplanet* (the code) can improve the typical performance by orders of
magnitude.
*exoplanet* is being actively developed in `a public repository on GitHub
<https://github.com/dfm/exoplanet>`_ so if you have any trouble, `open an issue
<https://github.com/dfm/exoplanet/issues>`_ there.
