A pure-python port of the ``dftools`` R package.

This package attempts to imitate the ``dftools`` package (repo: https://github.com/obreschkow/dftools ) quite closely,
while being as Pythonic as possible. Do note that 2D+ models are not yet implemented in this Python port, and neither
are non-parametric models. Hopefully they will be along soon.

From ``dftool``'s description:

This package can find the most likely P parameters of a D-dimensional distribution function (DF) generating
N objects, where each object is specified by D observables with measurement uncertainties. For instance, if the objects
are galaxies, it can fit a MF (P=1), a mass-size distribution (P=2) or the mass-spin-morphology distribution (P=3).
Unlike most common fitting approaches, this method accurately accounts for measurement is uncertainties and complex
selection functions. A full description of the algorithm can be found in Obreschkow et al. (2017).

In short, clean out Eddington bias from your fits:

* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: https://pydftools.readthedocs.io.


Features
--------

* Simple and fast parameter fitting for generative distribution functions
* Several examples (with astronomical applications in mind)
* Several plotting routines so that you can go from nothing to a plot in minutes
* A ``mockdata()`` function which can produce data to fit.
* Support for arbitrary 1D models, several kinds of selection functions, jackknife and bootstrap resampling, Gaussian
error estimation and more.

Credits

This package was created with Cookiecutter_ and the `audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage`_ project template.
