Take a deep dive into Bayesian modeling.

Bayesian statistics is a theory based on Bayesian probability, an idea that has revolutionized many industries by dealing with probability distributions in a different way. The Bayesian interpretation of probability expresses probability as a degree of belief in an event. In this 2-day deep dive into Bayesian statistics, you’ll discover how to solve multi-armed bandits using techniques such as Markov chain Monte Carlo and Variational Inference, and much more.

This training is for you if…

You already understand basic statistics.
You are interested in learning about Bayesian statistics and how it differs from the frequentist approach.
You want to solve real-world problems by translating them into probabilistic models.

This training is not for you if…

You are missing the fundamentals of statistics.
You are NOT interested in improving the way you work with statistics.
You have never used Python before.

What you'll learn

Bayes' Theorem

The Bayesian interpretation of probability: what it is and how it differs from classical interpretations
Prior, likelihood, and posterior distributions
Application of Bayes’ Theorem to solve probabilistic problems

Probability Distribution

Different distributions
The difference between probability mass and density functions

Bayes' Theorem in Practice

Translate a real-world problem into a probabilistic model
Finding the posterior distribution in practice
When to use Markov chain Monte Carlo and when to use Variational Inference
The Random Walk Metropolis Hastings algorithm and how it works

The schedule

Day 1: Theory and Hands-On Labs

Fundamentals: Bayes’ Theory
From Bayes’ Theorem to Bayesian Data Analysis
The Bayesian’ Paradigm
Markov chain Monte Carlo with PyMC3
Variational Inference: Big Data Bayesian Data Analysis

Day 2: Hackathon: Multi-Armed Bandits with the Bayesian approach

Multi-armed bandit problems (like for example A/B testing) can be solved by using Bayesian modeling. Participants will be presented with the simulation environment for Multi-armed bandits and encouraged to code a Bayesian decision-making algorithm. A perfect opportunity to creatively brainstorm and learn more about practical applications of Bayesian theory and effectively balancing the exploration-exploitation tradeoff

After the training you will be able to:

Understand the theory of Bayesian Statistics and how it differs from the classical approach.
Apply Bayes’ Theorem to real-world problems.
Use PyMC to put Bayesian statistics into practice.

It was a hands-on and tangible course. We could apply what we learned in a matter of minutes. The trainer did a great job of answering ad-hoc questions that complemented the material. We appreciated the fact that we could apply what we were taught directly to our company.

Technical Leader & Software Architect

I liked every aspect of this training and would like to thank the trainers. They did an excellent job of explaining how to use Spark for data science. This is the fourth GoDataDriven training I’ve followed. All were great, but this was the best one so far.

Climbing a steep Python and Machine Learning curve in three days. This would have taken me months on my own.
