Estimating the DRW timescale in AGN light curves using celerite
Author: Colin J. Burke, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
This repository is intended to be a simple resource for modeling AGN light curves using celerite-based gaussian processes. This code is easy to install and ~10x faster than carma_pack. Only a few lines of code are required to fit each light curve. This package is particularly useful for efficiently extracting the DRW timescale parameter τ_DRW:
fit_drw(x*u.day, y*u.mag, yerr*u.mag)
See demo.ipynb for usage.
