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.
