Kira Howe (McLean)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.

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 π§βπ«

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...
Chris CoxTime 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 ).
