ArviZ also provides a common data structure for manipulating and storing data commonly arising in Bayesian analysis, like posterior samples or observed data. ArviZ is an open source project, developed by the community and is an affiliated project of NumFOCUS.
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.
Exploratory analysis of Bayesian models is an adaptation or extension of the exploratory data analysis approach to the needs and peculiarities of Bayesian modeling. In the words of Persi Diaconis: [16] Exploratory data analysis seeks to reveal structure, or simple descriptions in data. We look at numbers or graphs and try to find patterns.
Engine for Likelihood-Free Inference. ELFI is a statistical software package written in Python for Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC), also known e.g. as likelihood-free inference, simulator-based inference, approximative Bayesian inference etc. [83] ABCpy: Python package for ABC and other likelihood-free inference schemes.
Bayesian linear regression is a type of conditional modeling in which the mean of one variable is described by a linear combination of other variables, with the goal of obtaining the posterior probability of the regression coefficients (as well as other parameters describing the distribution of the regressand) and ultimately allowing the out-of-sample prediction of the regressand (often ...
This type model can be estimated with Eviews, Stata, Python [8] or R [9] Statistical Packages. Recent research has shown that Bayesian vector autoregression is an appropriate tool for modelling large data sets. [10]
To determine whether a causal relation is identified from an arbitrary Bayesian network with unobserved variables, one can use the three rules of "do-calculus" [2] [5] and test whether all do terms can be removed from the expression of that relation, thus confirming that the desired quantity is estimable from frequency data. [6] Using a ...
Dynamic Bayesian Network composed by 3 variables. Bayesian Network developed on 3 time steps. Simplified Dynamic Bayesian Network. All the variables do not need to be duplicated in the graphical model, but they are dynamic, too. A dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is a Bayesian network (BN) which relates variables to each other over adjacent time ...
