Are you a Python enthusiast looking to explore the power of probabilistic programming? Join us next week at PyHouston to hear Larry Jones introduce #PyMC — the go-to Python library for probabilistic modeling and Bayesian inference!

I genuinely miss PyMC2. The #PyMC and #Arviz APIs changes so frequently, that it's impossible to know what the standard approach to anything is.

#Bayesian #Statistics in #Python should be easy.

To be honest, I'd really like a well maintained #SkLearn module for 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.

@charleemos I have found both the #PyMC tutorials (https://www.pymc.io/projects/docs/en/latest/guides/Gaussian_Processes.html) and the #Stan User's Guide (https://mc-stan.org/docs/stan-users-guide/gaussian-processes.html) on #GaussianProcesses good for getting your hands dirty. Seeing GPs in action and fiddling with hyperparameters was helpful for me to understand the mathematical underpinnings.

So testing some intuition on moving a deterministic analysis into a complex #Bayesian inference problem using #PyMC has been a really fast process. I'm very impressed with how easy it's been to use it. Well chuffed!!!

🚀 Introducing "@as_model" in PyMC-Experimental API!

🔥 Key Features:
- Simplifies PyMC modeling
- Better code structure

🔗 Details: GitHub PR #268 https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc-experimental/pull/268

🙌 Thanks to Theo Rashid, @ricardoV94, Rob Zinkov, @twiecki and Maxim Kochurov !

Modern #Bayesian samplers like #PyMC are too fast... no way to take a break and having the impression to get things done in parallel... barely the time to toot.

🚀 Exciting update for #DataScience enthusiasts! Abuzar has pre-recorded a detailed walkthrough on Changepoint Modeling with #PyMC. 📊

🚀 Just wrapped up an insightful session at PyMCon Web Series! 💡

Missed it? No worries! Here's the recording of Bill Engels' talk on "Introduction to Hilbert Space GPs (HSGPs) in PyMC" 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri5sJAdcYHk

🌟 In this talk, Bill introduced a PyMC Hilbert Space Gaussian Process (HSGP) implementation and showed via case studies how it fills a few key gaps in the PyMC GP library: fast GPs as model subcomponents, and fast GPs with non-Gaussian likelihoods 📊💡.
