ArviZ is an open source project, developed by the community and is an affiliated project of NumFOCUS. [ 6 ] and it has been used to help interpret inference problems in several scientific domains, including astronomy, [ 7 ] neuroscience, [ 8 ] physics [ 9 ] and statistics.
Probabilistic programming (PP) is a programming paradigm based on the declarative specification of probabilistic models, for which inference is performed automatically. [1] Probabilistic programming attempts to unify probabilistic modeling and traditional general purpose programming in order to make the former easier and more widely applicable.
Just another Gibbs sampler (JAGS) is a program for simulation from Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), developed by Martyn Plummer. JAGS has been employed for statistical work in many fields, for example ecology, management, and genetics.
Stan is a probabilistic programming language for statistical inference written in C++. [2] The Stan language is used to specify a (Bayesian) statistical model with an imperative program calculating the log probability density function. [2] Stan is licensed under the New BSD License.
Bayesian program synthesis differs both in that the constraints are probabilistic and the output is itself a distribution over programs that can be further refined. Additionally, Bayesian program synthesis can be contrasted to the work on Bayesian program learning, where probabilistic program components are hand-written, pre-trained on data ...
Bayesian programming is a formalism and a methodology for having a technique to specify probabilistic models and solve problems when less than the necessary information is available. Edwin T. Jaynes proposed that probability could be considered as an alternative and an extension of logic for rational reasoning with incomplete and uncertain ...
Differentiable programming has been applied in areas such as combining deep learning with physics engines in robotics, [12] solving electronic structure problems with differentiable density functional theory, [13] differentiable ray tracing, [14] image processing, [15] and probabilistic programming. [5]
PyMC (formerly known as PyMC3) is a probabilistic programming language written in Python. It can be used for Bayesian statistical modeling and probabilistic machine learning. PyMC performs inference based on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo and/or variational fitting algorithms.
