webppl-csv

This package provides functions for reading and writing CSV files:

// Read data:
var testData = csv.read('data/test-file.csv');

// Write data:
csv.write('data/test-file-copy.csv', testData);

Distribution objects can be written to CSV using csv.writeJoint and csv.writeMarginals

var myJointDistribution = Infer({model: function(){
    var a = flip(0.5)
    var b = flip(0.9)
    return {a, b}
}})

// write distribution, maintaining joint distributional information
csv.writeJoint(myJointDistribution, 'data/test-joint.csv')

// write distribution, one variable per line (marginalized)
csv.writeMarginals(myJointDistribution, 'data/test-marginals.csv')

For more custom usage, use csv.open, csv.close, and csv.writeLine.

If you use the query.table with MCMC, try out csv.writeDistTable
