Use the notebook distance_posterior_and_estimators.ipynb to
- compute and plot the prior and posterior over distance
- compute and write out the distance estimators as used in the Gaia-DR2 distance catalogue published in https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10121 (see this page for more information).
Code was built with R 3.3.1. Additional libraries required: PolynomF, MASS, mvtnorm, pracma
You can also run this code interactively using Binder:
