statistical_rethinking

This is a repository for code + notes for the course on _Statistical Rethinking_ by Richard McElreath based on his book by the same name. The lectures for 2019 can be found here: https://youtu.be/4WVelCswXo4 The original code in the book and lectures is in R, but here we have ported it to Python + PyMC3. The virtual environment used was created using the `environment.yml` file created by the folks who ported the code to PYMC3 + Python (check out: https://github.com/pymc-devs/resources/blob/master/Rethinking). In Anaconda, the command to create the virtual environment is: ``` conda env create -f environment.yml ``` This is work in progress as I follow the lectures and work through the book.
