A Python tutorial and cookbook for implementing Bayesian modeling techniques using PyMC3.
Bayesian Modelling in Python is a tutorial and programming cookbook that teaches how to implement Bayesian modeling techniques using the PyMC3 library. It provides practical examples and Jupyter notebooks covering parameter estimation, model checking, hierarchical modeling, regression, survival analysis, and A/B testing. The project solves the need for accessible, code-focused resources that bridge Bayesian statistical theory with real-world Python implementation.
Data scientists, researchers, and developers who already understand Bayesian statistics fundamentals and want to learn practical implementation in Python using PyMC3.
Developers choose this tutorial because it offers a structured, hands-on approach with complete code examples, clear visualizations, and coverage of advanced topics like hierarchical modeling and survival analysis. It fills a gap between theoretical Bayesian statistics textbooks and applied programming guides.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Emphasizes hands-on application with executable Jupyter notebooks, inspired by resources like 'Bayesian Methods for Hackers', as stated in the philosophy.
Provides a clear progression from basic parameter estimation to advanced topics like survival analysis, detailed in the contents section.
Uses visual styles adopted from BMH to illustrate complex concepts, making the learning process more intuitive.
Includes practical examples for hierarchical modeling and Bayesian A/B testing, which are valuable for applied data science.
The README explicitly targets those who understand Bayesian fundamentals, leaving beginners without theoretical background behind.
Actively being worked on with contributions welcomed for areas like survival analysis, indicating potential gaps in content.
Solely focuses on PyMC3, which may not align with projects using alternative Bayesian inference tools like Stan or Pyro.
