Software

An initial list of SBI-related software packages

SBI (python) - general purpose SBI framework
SBI Benchmarking (python) - for benchmarking
MadMiner - aimed at particle physics
swyft (python) the reference implementation of Truncated Marginal Neural Ratio Estimation (TMNRE), an efficient, simulation-based inference technique for complex data and expensive simulators
carl an early NN-based SBI package
lampe (python) is a flexible, amortized sbi library. The philosophy of LAMPE is to avoid obfuscation and expose all components so it is most useful for researchers.
pydelfi (python) with neural density estimators and adaptive acquisition of simulations.
