Variational inference is an increasingly popular method in statistics and machine learning for approximating probability distributions. We developed LINFA (Library for Inference with Normalizing Flow and Annealing), a Python library for variational inference to accommodate computationally expensive models and difficult-to-sample distributions with dependent parameters. We discuss the theoretical background, capabilities, and performance of LINFA in various benchmarks. LINFA is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/desResLab/LINFA.
