Course Details
• Introduction to Bayesian Modeling: Basic concepts, principles, and benefits of Bayesian modeling in data science. Understanding the Bayes theorem and its application in statistical modeling.
• Probability Distributions: Overview of common probability distributions, including normal, binomial, multinomial, Poisson, and exponential distributions. Understanding the properties and applications of these distributions in Bayesian modeling.
• Graphical Models: Introduction to directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), plate notation, and conditional probability distributions. Understanding the use of graphical models to represent complex relationships in Bayesian modeling.
• Conjugate Priors: Overview of conjugate priors and their importance in Bayesian modeling. Understanding the concept of prior-posterior convergence and the use of conjugate priors to simplify computations.
• MCMC Methods: Overview of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, including Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs sampling, and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC). Understanding the theory and implementation of MCMC methods in Bayesian modeling.
• Bayesian Inference: Inference in Bayesian modeling, including credible intervals, posterior predictive distributions, and model comparison. Understanding the use of Bayesian inference to make predictions and draw conclusions from data.
• Python for Bayesian Modeling: Overview of Python libraries for Bayesian modeling, including NumPy, SciPy, and PyMC3. Understanding the use of these libraries to implement Bayesian models in practice.
• Case Studies in Bayesian Modeling: Real-world applications of Bayesian modeling in data science, including examples from finance, healthcare, and social sciences. Understanding the use of Bayesian modeling to solve complex problems in practice.
