ptemcee

ptemcee /'tɛmsiː/ (noun): Adaptive parallel tempering <http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.05823> meets |emcee|.

ptemcee, pronounced "tem-cee", is fork of Daniel Foreman-Mackey's |emcee|_ to implement parallel tempering more robustly. As far as possible, it is designed as a drop-in replacement for emcee.

If you're trying to characterise awkward, multi-modal probability distributions, then ptemcee is your friend.
