Most machine learning methods give you a prediction but not a measure of how much to trust it. Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) combine the flexibility of tree ensembles (e.g.

Come build something with the PyMC development team. Code sprints are collaborative working sessions where contributors of all experience levels tackle meaningful open issues side by side.

Time series data is ubiquitous, from stock market prices and weather patterns to disease outbreaks and sports outcomes. Accurately modeling these data and generating useful predictions requires specialized techniques due to the unique characteristics of time series data.

When Bayesian modeling scales up to large datasets, traditional MCMC methods can become impractical due to their computational demands. **Variational Inference (VI) offers a scalable alternative**, trading exactness for speed while retaining the essence of Bayesian inference.

Gaussian processes (GPs) are a powerful Bayesian approach for quantifying uncertainty and making probabilistic inferences, especially when dealing with complex, non-linear relationships in regression and classification.

Bayesian statistical methods provide powerful tools for solving various data science problems. The Bayesian approach yields easy-to-interpret results and automatically accounts for uncertainty in our estimates or predictions.

Bayesian statistical methods offer a powerful set of tools to tackle a wide variety of data science problems. In addition, the Bayesian approach generates results that are easy to interpret and automatically account for uncertainty in quantities that we wish to estimate and predict.

Gaussian processes are flexible probabilistic models that can be used to perform Bayesian regression analysis without having to provide pre-specified functional relationships between the variables.

Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A to hear from core language and library contributors and maintainers about their experiences contributing to and reviewing contributions to open source.

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is the most common approach for performing Bayesian data analysis. MCMC is a general class of algorithms that uses simulation to estimate a variety of statistical models.
