better/more consistent support for uncertainties #33

Open SteveOv opened 1 month ago

SteveOv commented 1 month ago

needs some work so we propagate uncertainties from predictions/fitting through calculations. We have a couple of options

uncertainties package: a brief prototype with the orbital.orbital_inclination() function shows this is far from just a drop in. It doesn't appear to play well with numpy trig functions (or at least arccos) or astropy units
astropy.uncertainty: I've never used this before so there may be a learning curve

I have a better handle on the uncertainties package. I've used it within model testing in the append_calculated_inc_predictions() function which uses ufloats, built in math operators and the math package. It also has some useful functions for converting to NDArrays of ufloats. Will go forward with the uncertainties package.

This may be related to #59 (deblib package).
