Bayesian estimation, particularly using Markov chain Monte
|
||
|
|
Carlo (MCMC), is an increasingly relevant approach to
|
||
|
|
statistical estimation. However, few statistical software
|
||
|
|
packages implement MCMC samplers, and they are non-trivial
|
||
|
|
to code by hand. pymc is a python package that implements
|
||
|
|
the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a python class, and is
|
||
|
|
extremely flexible and applicable to a large suite of problems.
|
||
|
|
pymc includes methods for summarizing output, plotting,
|
||
|
|
goodness-of-fit and convergence diagnostics.
