Non parametric Mass - Radius relationship for exoplanets

MRExo

MRExo is a Python script for non-parametric fitting and analysis of the Mass-Radius (M-R) relationship for exoplanets.

We translate Ning et al. (2018)'s R script into a publicly available Python package called MRExo. It offers tools for fitting the M-R relationship to a given data set. Along with the MRExo installation, the fit results from the M dwarf sample dataset from Kanodia et al. (2019) and the Kepler exoplanet sample from Ning et al. (2018) are included. The code also includes predicting functions (M->R, and R->M), and plotting functions to generate the plots used in the below preprint.

For detailed description of the code please see Kanodia et al. (2019)
