[P.D.F] Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian

[P.D.F] Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Inference For Kindle
Master Bayesian Inference through Practical Examples and Computation-Without
Advanced Mathematical Analysis Bayesian methods of inference are deeply natural and
extremely powerful. However, most discussions of Bayesian inference rely on intensely
complex mathematical analyses and artificial examples, making it inaccessible to anyone
without a strong mathematical background. Now, though, Cameron Davidson-Pilon
introduces Bayesian inference from a computational perspective, bridging theory to
practice-freeing you to get results using computing power. Bayesian Methods for Hackers
illuminates Bayesian inference through probabilistic programming with the powerful PyMC
language and the closely related Python tools NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. Using this
approach, you can reach effective solutions in small increments, without extensive
mathematical intervention. Davidson-Pilon begins by introducing the concepts underlying
Bayesian inference, comparing it with other techniques and guiding you through building
and training your first Bayesian model. Next, he introduces PyMC through a series of
detailed examples and intuitive explanations that have been refined after extensive user
feedback. You'll learn how to use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm, choose
appropriate sample sizes and priors, work with loss functions, and apply Bayesian
inference in domains ranging from finance to marketing. Once you've mastered these
techniques, you'll constantly turn to this guide for the working PyMC code you need to
jumpstart future projects. Coverage includes - Learning the Bayesian "state of mind" and
its practical implications - Understanding how computers perform Bayesian inference -
Using the PyMC Python library to program Bayesian analyses - Building and debugging
models with PyMC - Testing your model's "goodness of fit" - Opening the "black box" of the
Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to see how and why it works - Leveraging the power
of the "Law of Large Numbers" - Mastering key concepts, such as clustering, convergence,
autocorrelation, and thinning - Using loss functions to measure an estimate's weaknesses
based on your goals and desired outcomes - Selecting appropriate priors and
understanding how their influence changes with dataset size - Overcoming the "exploration
versus exploitation" dilemma: deciding when "pretty good" is good enough - Using
Bayesian inference to improve A/B testing - Solving data science problems when only
small amounts of data are available Cameron Davidson-Pilon has worked in many areas of
applied mathematics, from the evolutionary dynamics of genes and diseases to stochastic
modeling of financial prices. His contributions to the open source community include
lifelines, an implementation of survival analysis in Python. Educated at the University of
Waterloo and at the Independent University of Moscow, he currently works with the online
commerce leader Shopify.
