.. currentmodule:: chi

Inference in chi_ heavily relies on the inference package pints_.

The :class:`OptimisationController` and :class:`SamplingController` allow you
to easily explore different optimisation or sampling settings, e.g. using different
methods, fixing some parameters, or applying different transformations to the
search space.
