Statistical Rethinking - A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan (and PyMC3, brms, and Julia too)

cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/6990204

Richard McElreath has made his course materials available on GitHub.

However, the course follows the 2nd edition of McElreath’s book Statistical Rethinking which is not available in a free digital format.

After watching the first lecture in the Statistical Rethinking 2023 YouTube Playlist, I might go ahead and purchase the text and use this course instead of Trevor Hastie and Rob Tibshirani’s An Introduction to Statistical Learning (with Applications in R or Python) course.

I also like that this resource has made an explicit attempt to provide code examples in Julia as well as the more popular Python and R.

I wasn’t sure who Richard McElreath was so I did a quick search which revealed his position as Director of the Department of Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.

His book is THE best book on statistics I’ve ever read. Thoroughly recommended.

This gives me confidence in my plan. Thanks for the feedback.

How is that confidence interval?

I plan to proceed without considering its significance.
