Description: # CmdStanPy
        
        [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/stan-dev/cmdstanpy)
        
        
        CmdStanPy is a lightweight interface to Stan for Python users which
        provides the necessary objects and functions to do Bayesian inference
        given a probability model written as a Stan program and data.
        Under the hood, CmdStanPy uses the CmdStan command line interface
        to compile and run a Stan program.
        
        ### Goals
        
        - Clean interface to Stan services so that CmdStanPy can keep up with Stan releases.
        
        - Provide access to all CmdStan inference methods.
        
        - Easy to install,
          + minimal Python library dependencies: numpy, pandas
          + Python code doesn't interface directly with c++, only calls compiled executables
        
        - Modular - CmdStanPy produces a MCMC sample (or point estimate) from the posterior; other packages do analysis and visualization.

        ### Example
        
        ::
        
            import os
            from cmdstanpy import cmdstan_path, CmdStanModel
        
            # specify locations of Stan program file and data
            bernoulli_stan = os.path.join(cmdstan_path(), 'examples', 'bernoulli', 'bernoulli.stan')
            bernoulli_data = os.path.join(cmdstan_path(), 'examples', 'bernoulli', 'bernoulli.data.json')
        
            # instantiate a model; compiles the Stan program by default
            bernoulli_model = CmdStanModel(stan_file=bernoulli_stan)
        
            # obtain a posterior sample from the model conditioned on the data
            bernoulli_fit = bernoulli_model.sample(chains=4, data=bernoulli_data)
        
            # summarize the results (wraps CmdStan `bin/stansummary`):
            bernoulli_fit.summary()
