This is a Julia wrapper for Python nested sampling package

[UltraNest](https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/UltraNest).

Nested sampling allows Bayesian inference on arbitrary user-defined likelihoods. In particular, posterior probability distributions on model parameters are constructed, and the marginal likelihood ("evidence") Z is computed. The former can be used to describe the parameter constraints of the data, the latter can be used for model comparison (via *Bayes factors*) as a measure of the prediction parsimony of a model.

UltraNest provides novel, advanced techniques (see [how it works](https://johannesbuchner.github.io/UltraNest/method.html)). They are especially remarkable for being free of tuning parameters and theoretically justified. Beyond that, UltraNest has support for Big Data sets and high-performance computing applications.
