BARMPy: Bayesian Additive Regression Models Python Package

Abstract

We make Bayesian Additive Regression Networks (BARN) available as a Python package, \texttt{barmpy}, with documentation at \url{https://dvbuntu.github.io/barmpy/} for general machine learning practitioners. Our object-oriented design is compatible with SciKit-Learn, allowing usage of their tools like cross-validation. To ease learning to use \texttt{barmpy}, we produce a companion tutorial that expands on reference information in the documentation. Any interested user can \texttt{pip install barmpy} from the official PyPi repository. \texttt{barmpy} also serves as a baseline Python library for generic Bayesian Additive Regression Models.
