Bayesian Modeling and Computation in Python

Bayesian Modeling and Computation in Python aims to help beginner Bayesian practitioners to become intermediate modelers. It uses a hands on approach with Py MC3 Tensorflow Probability Arvi Z and other libraries focusing on the practice of applied statistics with references to the underlying mathematical theory. The book starts with a refresher of the Bayesian Inference concepts. The second chapter introduces modern methods for Exploratory Analysis of Bayesian Models. With an understanding of these two fundamentals the subsequent chapters talk through various models including linear regressions splines time series Bayesian additive regression trees. The final chapters include Approximate Bayesian Computation end to end case studies showing how to apply Bayesian modelling in different settings and a chapter about the internals of probabilistic programming languages. Finally the last chapter serves as a reference for the rest of the book by getting closer into mathematical aspects or by extending the discussion of certain topics. This book is written by contributors of Py MC3 Arvi Z Bambi and Tensorflow Probability among other libraries.
