BaM-tools/RBaM: Bayesian Modeling: Estimate a Computer Model and Make Uncertain Predictions

An interface to the 'BaM' (Bayesian Modeling) engine, a 'Fortran'-based executable aimed at estimating a model with a Bayesian approach and using it for prediction, with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification. Classes are defined for the various building blocks of 'BaM' inference (model, data, error models, MCMC sampling, predictions). The typical usage is as follows: (1) specify the model to be estimated; (2) specify the inference setting (dataset, parameters, error models...); (3) perform Bayesian-MCMC inference; (4) read, analyse and use MCMC samples; (5) perform prediction experiments. Technical details are available (in French) in Renard (2017) <https://hal.science/hal-02606929v1>. Examples of applications include Mansanarez et al. (2019) <doi:10.1029/2018WR023389>, Le Coz et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/hyp.14169>, Perret et al. (2021) <doi:10.1029/2020WR027745>, Darienzo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1029/2020WR028607> and Perret et al. (2023) <doi:10.1061/JHEND8.HYENG-13101>.
