While googling about Bayesian statistics, I found this awesome resource - Julia for Economists Bootcamp by Cameron Pfiffer. The course was recorded as part of Julia's sessions at Stanford's GSB. The course covers the following topics:
✅ Julia basics
✅ Parallelization
✅ Optimization and Automatic Differentiation
✅ High-performance Julia
✅ Computational Bayesian statistics
Introduction time! Hello fediscience members! I'm a new member in this instance, but I'm not new in the fediverse. I migrated from fosstodon.org to this instance. There's nothing wrong, I just needed a place where I can post in English and Spanish. I'm an Assistant Professor at CSU Stan. I usually post about #Rstats, #Quarto , #Linux, #juliaLang, #python, #psychology, #bayesian, #aging, #dementia, #mentalHealth, and other topics that I find interesting in #science.
As for every astronomer next to a pool, it is impossible for me not to notice the similarity between the light patterns that refraction creates on the bottom of the pool, and the image of the cosmic web produced by cosmological simulations.
The similarity is not by chance, but there are deep connections between the two!
This is a visualisation of this first stage with a simple #Julialang N-body solver of mine.
There is no gravity force in the entire simulation - particle just "cluster" and produce a cosmic web pattern, because of the initial correlation of their displacement and velocity vectors
Is it very straightforward to run Julia code on GPU? Does it need special CUDA rewrites to work?
I do a lot of value function iteration for dynamic programming problems (I need global characterizations, approx around steady state doesn't work). Has anyone done this much in Julia? How's your experience been?

Just watched the talk. My problem with the conclusion is, that Julia has the same problems as Python and is a bit harder to program and learn. Why should anyone bother using #julialang. On the other hand there are huge applications written in #python. So I assume, people don't care, or mix the languages.
Finally, the Makie project has a new website: http://makie.org! It shows Makie's capabilities and helps to attract stable funding so we can concentrate on new features and maintenance. If you are interested in collaborating, consultations, or sponsorship, we're looking forward to hearing from you! #julialang#plotting
Thanks @LazaroAlonso for the great cover picture made with Makie :)
I'm a PhD student in Urban and Regional #Planning at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I'm especially interested in regional revitalization in #Japan, #Korea, and elsewhere in East and Southeast Asia.
Also a big fan of #JuliaLang and its applications for social science. In a parallel life I build #AgentBasedModels
