CANDEL ====== **CANDEL** (*CA*\libration and *N*\ormalization of the *D*\istanc\ *E* *L*\adder) is a JAX-based framework for peculiar-velocity inference and distance-ladder calibration. CANDEL forward-models distance-indicator observables and redshift while marginalising over latent variables such as distance and absolute magnitude. Posterior sampling uses the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS) from `NumPyro `_, with JAX providing automatic differentiation and JIT compilation throughout. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Contents installation models api/index
