Adding the Kombine Sampler
Compare changes
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 22 April 2025 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk. This maintenance will be upgrading the GitLab database in order to be ready for the migration.
This modifies/uses the emcee EnsembleSampler wrapper to be used as a wrapper to allow sampling using Ben Farr's kombine code (It has a mostly similar interface as emcee so it was not a huge stretch to extend for kombine to be used).

I am not sure if this will be useful to have kombine has an available sampler but I know Ben (my advisor) has been interested to see it work in bilby.
