openSkyMatch is a collection of Linux shell and Python scripts designed for the OpenScience Observatories program. It automates the identification and matching of detected celestial objects in locally captured FITS images with entries in large-scale sky catalogs, notably Pan-STARRS1 DR2 (II/389/ps1_dr2). The toolkit supports data preprocessing, coordinate correlation, and catalog-based validation of astronomical detections.

ThinkBayes is the code repository accompanying Think Bayes: a book on Bayesian statistics written in a computational style. Instead of heavy focus on continuous mathematics or calculus, the book emphasizes learning Bayesian inference by writing Python programs. The project includes code examples, scripts, and environments that correspond to the chapters of the book. Learners can run the code, experiment with probability distributions, compute posterior probabilities, and understand Bayesian updating via simulation and algorithmic methods. The book and code encourage thinking in terms of discrete approximations (sums over distributions) rather than continuous integrals, making it more accessible to many programmers. ...

evolution-strategies-starter is an archived OpenAI research project that provides a distributed implementation of the algorithm described in the paper “Evolution Strategies as a Scalable Alternative to Reinforcement Learning” by Tim Salimans, Jonathan Ho, Xi Chen, and Ilya Sutskever. The repository demonstrates how to scale Evolution Strategies (ES) for reinforcement learning tasks using a master-worker architecture, where the master node broadcasts parameters to multiple workers, and the...
