Description

This is an excellent, comprehensive and accessible introduction to Bayesian principles and methodologies, which prioritizes understanding and application over the underlying maths. The many examples and exercises are in pure python, making heavy use of the PyMC module. Highly recommended if you already know your way around python and want to expand your statistics & data analysis skills with the vast and powerful toolbox that is Bayesian statistics.
