Modeling#
Analysis#
The Analysis
objects define the log_likelihood_function
of how a galaxy model is fitted to a dataset.
It acts as an interface between the data, model and the non-linear search.
Fits a galaxy model to an imaging dataset via a non-linear search. |

Fits a galaxy model to an interferometer dataset via a non-linear search. |
Non-linear Searches#
A non-linear search is an algorithm which fits a model to data.
PyAutoGalaxy currently supports three types of non-linear search algorithms: nested samplers, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and optimizers.

A Dynesty non-linear search, using a dynamically changing number of live points. |

Priors#
The priors of parameters of every component of a mdoel, which is fitted to data, are customized using Prior
objects.
A prior with a uniform distribution, defined between a lower limit and upper limit. |
