pyhf: a pure Python statistical fitting library with tensors and autograd
M. Feickert · 2020
pyhf is a pure-Python implementation of the HistFactory statistical model for multi-bin histogram-based analysis with asymptotic interval estimation, and part of the Scikit-HEP project ecosystem. pyhf supports modern computational graph libraries as computational backends in order to make use of features such as auto-differentiation and GPU acceleration. Additionally, the statistical models are defined in a declarative JSON schema, readily enabling preservation and distribution through services such as the Durham High-Energy Physics Database (HEPData).
