For gravitational-wave parameter estimation, NMMA builds on bilby, parallel-bilby and bilby-pipe as back-end packages. For a detailed description follow the links to respective repositories. However, with special patches developed for bilby and parallel-bilby, NMMA enables to sample over EOSs during parameter estimation runs and, hence, allows to include more physical information of BNSs.

Here, we consider an injection study published here. The study investigated how the combination of BNS information from multiple gravitational-wave detections will decrease statistical measurement uncertainties in the NS radius and tried to quantify the impact of waveform model systematics with in total 152 BNS parameter estimation simulations.
