# GWKokab O4a Example Run
This repository provides a minimal working example demonstrating how to perform gravitational-wave population inference with GWKokab, a JAX-based framework for hierarchical Bayesian inference of compact binary populations.
The purpose of this repository is to help new users learn how to run GWKokab through the command-line interface (CLI) by reproducing an O4a population analysis setup. The repository includes example configuration files, scripts, and a complete workflow that can be used as a starting point for custom analyses.
## Contents
- Example GWKokab configuration files
- O4a-style population inference setup
- Command-line execution examples
- Post-processing and plotting scripts
## Quick Start
Run the population inference using the following bash script. It has all the required configs, you can read this file, names are self-explantory.
`./run.sh`
The inference results will be saved in:
`inference_data.hdf5`
Make plots to see the inference using following commnad line. It will create all the diagnostic plots in figs, and `report.html`.
`gwk_report`
To learn about any command line in GWkokab use help for instance `gwk_report -h` or `discrete_subpopulation -h`.
## Purpose
This example is intended as a tutorial and reference workflow for users who want to:
- Learn the GWKokab CLI
- Understand GWKokab configuration files
- Reproduce an O4a-style population analysis
- Build their own population inference studies
## GWKokab
GWKokab is an open-source framework for gravitational-wave population inference, supporting flexible population models for mass, spin, redshift, eccentricity, and multi-source populations.
