Learning Bayesian Statistics

ICYMI, I'll be in London next week, for a live episode of the Learning Bayesian Statistics podcast 🍾 Come say hi on June 24 at Imperial College London ! We'll be talking about uncertainty quantification — not just in theory, but in the messy, practical reality of building models that are supposed to work in the real world. 🎟️ Get your tickets ! Some of the questions we’ll unpack : 🔍 Why is it so...

Today’s clip is from episode 134 of the podcast, with David Kohns. Alex and David discuss the future of probabilistic programming, focusing on advancements in time series modeling, model selection, and the integration of AI in prior elicitation. The discussion highlights the importance of setting appropriate priors, the challenges of computational workflows, and the potential of normalizing flows...
