alchemlyb: the simple alchemistry library
=========================================

|doi| |docs| |build| |cov|

**Warning**: This library is young. It is **not** API stable. It is a
nucleation point. By all means use and help improve it, but note that it will
change with time.

**alchemlyb** is an attempt to make alchemical free energy calculations easier
to do by leveraging the full power and flexibility of the PyData stack. It
includes: 

1. Parsers for extracting raw data from output files of common molecular
   dynamics engines such as GROMACS [Abraham2015]_. 

2. Subsamplers for obtaining uncorrelated samples from timeseries data.

3. Estimators for obtaining free energies directly from this data, using
   best-practices approaches for multistate Bennett acceptance ratio (MBAR)
   [Shirts2008]_ and thermodynamic integration (TI).

In particular, it uses internally the excellent `pymbar
<http://pymbar.readthedocs.io/>`_ library for performing MBAR and extracting
independent, equilibrated samples [Chodera2016]_.
