The ExoplanetsSysSim.jl package generates populations of planetary systems, simulates observations of those systems with a transit survey, and facilitates comparisons of simulated and observed catalogs of planetary systems. Critically, ExoplanetsSysSim accounts for intrinsic correlations in the sizes and orbital periods of planets within a planetary system.

MC³ (Multi-core Markov-chain Monte Carlo) is a Bayesian statistics tool that can be executed from the shell prompt or interactively through the Python interpreter with single- or multiple-CPU parallel computing. It offers Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) posterior-distribution sampling for several algorithms, Levenberg-Marquardt least-squares optimization, and uniform non-informative, Jeffreys non-informative, or Gaussian-informative priors. MC³ can share the same value among multiple parameters and fix the value of parameters to constant values, and offers Gelman-Rubin convergence testing and correlated-noise estimation with time-averaging or wavelet-based likelihood estimation methods.
