Statistical Rethinking with Python and PyMC3

This repository has been deprecated in favour of this one, please check that repository for updates, for opening issues or sending pull requests

Statistical Rethinking is an incredible good introductory book to Bayesian Statistics, its follows a Jaynesian and practical approach with very good examples and clear explanations.

In this repository we ported the codes (originally in R and Stan) in the book to PyMC3. We are trying to keep the examples as close as possible to those in the book, while at the same time trying to express them in the most Pythonic and PyMC3onic way we can.
