🎩✨ Bayesian stats: the Hogwarts of math, where data scientists embark on an epic quest for clarity, only to find themselves lost in a fog of smugness and confusion. Frequentist wizards, beware! 🧙‍♂️🔮

Bayesian statistics for confused data scientists

A gentle introduction to Bayesian statistics for data scientists who, like me, are confused by it.

Learning about PyMC makes me want to become a statistician.. super interesting way to think about data, but so much goes into building a good model! So many rabbit holes.

Bayesian modelling is clearly super powerful though and seems to offer some answers to some of the most intractable problems with black-box ML. A reliable model with known and understandable inputs is invaluable for certain use cases.

where to begin?🤔
You may ask yourself that when initializing a #MCMC sampler.
A first idea may be to use the mean of the data as starting point - that's a bad idea though! Let @aseyboldt explain why in this piece from episode 74 🧑‍🏫
#BayesianStats

we're kicking the New Year off with a very #Bayesian episode 🎆
#NUTS 🌰sampling, a new #ZeroSumNormal #distribution, #PyMC, the Bayesian workflow and more is all covered in episode 74 with @aseyboldt @pymc_devs #BayesianStats #modelling

#74 Optimizing NUTS and Developing the ZeroSumNormal Distribution, with Adrian Seyboldt

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch! We need to talk. I had trouble writing this introduction. Not be...

Time for a small #Introduction! I'm a PhD student at #AarhusUniversity and #UniversityOfYork.

My PhD looks at how infants discover and explore the sounds of their first language using a combination of methods from #acoustics, #phonetics, #Bayesianstats, and #metascience. Relatedly, I'm a big fan of all things #Rstats, #Bayesian, #bigteamscience, and #openscience!

When I'm not programming or writing, I'm usually with my violin, trying to make it sound like a trumpet (i.e., #jazz #blues ).
