# Summary

`uravu` offers an easy to use interface to Bayesian modelling for scientific analysis in the Python programming language, making Bayesian modelling as easy to use as the `scipy.optimize.curve_fit()` method.
This software acts to lower the barrier of entry to the use of packages such as:
`uravu` offers an easy to use interface to Bayesian modelling for scientific analysis in the Python programming language, making Bayesian modelling as easy to use as the `scipy.optimize.curve_fit()` method. This software acts to lower the barrier of entry to the use of packages such as:

- `scipy`: for maximum likelihood estimation [@virtanen_scipy_2020]
- `emcee`: for Markov chain Monte Carlo investigation of posterior probabilities [@foremanmackey_emcee_2019]
- `dynesty`: for nested sampling of the Bayesian evidence [@speagle_dynesty_2020].

In addition to lowering the entry barrier uravu also adds additional utility, such as the inclusion of measurement units (important for scientific analysis) with the `pint` package, and publication-quality plots of relationships, data, and distributions with `matplotlib` [@hunter_matplotlib_2007] and `corner` [@foremanmackey_corner_2019].

In addition to the straightforward interface, the `uravu` documentation offers brief tutorials (uravu.rtfd.io/en/latest/tutorials.html) in all aspects of the package.
Alongside API information, the `uravu` documentation offers brief tutorials (uravu.rtfd.io/en/latest/tutorials.html) in all aspects of the package.
This enables those unfamiliar with Bayesian modelling to get to grips with these important tools for data analysis.
`uravu` is being actively applied to scientific problems, such as data reduction at large scale scientific facilities and the modelling of diffusion in battery materials.
