Description

In this project, microlensing events are modelled and analysed using a new methodology employing the MultiNest algorithm. MultiNest is based on the principles of Bayesian inference, which allows us to solve the model selection and parameter estimation problems simultaneously. The focus is placed on the model selection problem since a Bayesian based algorithm such as MultiNest allows us to shift the approach to model selection from qualitative arguments to a quantitative quality factor. The me...
