Jaxampler šŸ§Ŗ - A JAX-based statistical sampling toolkit

Python package Upload Python Package CodeQL

PyPI version Versions

[!IMPORTANT] šŸ“£ As of April 2024 I recommends that new projects should adopt NumPyro instead of Jaxampler. šŸ“£

At the time of writing NumPyro has a larger and more active development team and more adoption with users. It has more extensive documentation, examples and an active community creating end to end examples.

Jaxampler will be a public archive but I have no plans to take it down from PyPI public repositories.

Jaxampler šŸ§Ŗ is a statistical sampling toolkit built on top of JAX. It provides a set of high-performance sampling algorithms for a wide range of statistical distributions. Jaxampler is designed to be easy to use and integrate with existing JAX workflows. It is also designed to be extensible, allowing users to easily add new sampling algorithms and statistical distributions.

Jaxampler is currently in the early stages of development and is not yet ready for production use. However, we welcome contributions from the community to help us improve the library. If you are interested in contributing, please refer to our contribution guidelines.

Features

Install

You may install the latest released version of Jaxampler through pip by doing

pip3 install --upgrade jaxampler

You may install the bleeding edge version by cloning this repo or doing

pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/Qazalbash/jaxampler

If you would like to take advantage of CUDA, you will additionally need to install a specific version of JAX by doing

pip install --upgrade "jax[cuda12_pip]" -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/jax_cuda_releases.html

Requirements

Jaxampler requires Python 3.10 or later. It also requires the following packages:

jax>=0.4.0 
jaxlib>=0.4.0
typing_extensions>=4.5.0
jaxtyping>=0.2.24
matplotlib>=3.8.0
tfp-nightly
tqdm

The test suite is based on pytest. To run the tests, one needs to install pytest and run pytest at the root directory of this repo.
