For decades, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms, especially the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, are widely used for stochastic optimization, sampling, & integration of mathematical objective functions, in the context of Machine Learning, Bayesian inverse problems, & parameter estimation. Here, we present the ParaMonte software, a suite of parallel Monte Carlo optimization, sampling, & integration algorithms for Bayesian inference problems.
The primary goal of the ParaMonte library is to streamline scientific inference by full automation & by providing runtime dynamic directions to the user. It also offers fully-deterministic reproducible restart functionality of all simulations & a unified API accessible from several major scientific & Data Science programming languages, including C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Python, & R. Comprehensive automated post-processing tools integrated with the ParaMonte library also enable seamless analysis & visualization of the simulation results.
