Allen Downey is featured in a PyMC Labs session aimed at data scientists who think Bayesian methods are too hard or too math-heavy.
The pitch is straightforward: you do not need graduate-level statistics to start. Learn a few core ideas, let PyMC handle the math, and begin building real models from day one.
The live session starts on Aug. 10.
