Optimal Bayesian Experimental Design Version 1.2.0

Python module 'optbayesexpt' uses optimal Bayesian experimental design methods to control measurement settings in order to efficiently determine model parameters. Given an parametric model - analogous to a fitting function - Bayesian inference uses each measurement 'data point' to refine model parameters. Using this information, the software suggests measurement settings that are likely to efficiently reduce uncertainties. A TCP socket interface allows the software to be used from experimental control software written in other programming languages. Code is developed in Python, and shared via GitHub's USNISTGOV organization.
