RBaM: Bayesian Modeling: Estimate a Computer Model and Make Uncertain Predictions

An interface to the 'BaM' (Bayesian Modeling) engine, a 'Fortran'-based executable aimed at estimating a model with a Bayesian approach and using it for prediction, with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification. Classes are defined for the various building blocks of 'BaM' inference (model, data, error models, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers, predictions). The typical usage is as follows: (1) specify the model to be estimated; (2) specify the inference setting (dataset, parameters, error models...); (3) perform Bayesian-MCMC inference; (4) read, analyse and use MCMC samples; (5) perform prediction experiments.
