arXiv: 1908.01711 · 2019-08-06

## TL;DR

fgivenx is a Python package designed for visualizing functional posterior distributions, aiding scientists in Bayesian analysis involving predictive functions, with applications demonstrated in astronomy.

## Contribution

It introduces a new Python tool for functional posterior plotting, expanding Bayesian analysis visualization capabilities beyond existing methods.

## Key findings

- Facilitates visualization of predictive posteriors as functions.
- Applicable in astronomy and potentially other scientific fields.
- Open-source availability on GitHub.

## Abstract

fgivenx is a Python package for functional posterior plotting, currently used in astronomy, but will be of use to scientists performing any Bayesian analysis which has predictive posteriors that are functions. The source code for fgivenx is available on GitHub at https://github.com/williamjameshandley/fgivenx
