Hi Brenna, No worries, thanks for letting me know! A question about using the source code. Should I make the steps described for development install and it should work?

I tried the setup.py from github but still doesn't work. Should I add something specific for it to use an older version of numpy?

I am using an M1 mac as well. It seems that the issue was with astrocats. Once I managed to install this package then I was able to install mosfit...

  The example before was also setting both ldist and redshift in run_params. If I set only the ldist and also give the prior of mass like that model_params["mass"]["prior"]...

There is something odd happening with the initial parameters after running optimization or emcee and instead of initial tage = 13 the initial tage is 1.1 for example. Not sure...

Ok, I will try the thing about mass. The galaxy is probably a post-starburst galaxy from spectrum. g-r ~ 0.68. From the interactive demo notebook I thought tage is the...

For dynesty using these model_params = TemplateLibrary["parametric_sfh"] model_params["dust2"]["init"] = 0.1 model_params["logzsol"]["init"] = -0.3 model_params["tage"]["init"] = 13. model_params["mass"]["init"] = 1e8 model_params["dust2"]["prior"] = priors.TopHat(mini=0.0, maxi=2.0) model_params["tau"]["prior"] = priors.LogUniform(mini=1e-1, maxi=10) model_params["mass"]["prior"] = priors.LogUniform(mini=1e6,...

It has been used before in such cases but I have seen non-parametric used as well. Should I try a non-parametric one better (but there are many options)? Also, no,...

Ok. I think I figured the main issue. It was on the photometry I was using mostly for SDSS where I was not using the CModel photometry as I should....

Ok, I think the results make much more sense now.
