celerite

celerite     \se.le.ʁi.te\     noun, archaic literary
A scalable method for Gaussian Process regression. From French célérité.

celerite is a library for fast and scalable Gaussian Process (GP) Regression in one dimension with implementations in C++, Python, and Julia. The Python implementation is the most stable and it exposes the most features but it relies on the C++ implementation for computational efficiency. This documentation won’t teach you the fundamentals of GP modeling but the best resource for learning about this is available for free online: Rasmussen & Williams (2006).

The celerite API is designed to be familiar to users of george and, like george, celerite is designed to efficiently evaluate the marginalized likelihood of a dataset under a GP model. This is then meant to be used alongside your favorite non-linear optimization or posterior inference library for the best results.

celerite is being actively developed in a public repository on GitHub so if you have any trouble, open an issue there.
