Take your first steps in the Bayesian world. In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to the basic concepts of probability and statistical distributions, as well as to the famous Bayes' Theorem, the cornerstone of Bayesian methods. Finally, you’ll build your first Bayesian model to draw conclusions from randomized coin tosses.

The Bayesian way

It’s time to look under the Bayesian hood. You’ll learn how to apply Bayes' Theorem to drug-effectiveness data to estimate the parameters of probability distributions using the grid approximation technique, and update these estimates as new data become available. Next, you’ll learn how to incorporate prior knowledge into the model before finally practicing the important skill of reporting results to a non-technical audience.

Apply your newly acquired Bayesian data analysis skills to solve real-world business challenges. You’ll work with online sales marketing data to conduct A/B tests, decision analysis, and forecasting with linear regression models.

Bayesian inference

In this final chapter, you’ll take advantage of the powerful PyMC3 package to easily fit Bayesian regression models, conduct sanity checks on a model's convergence, select between competing models, and generate predictions for new data. To wrap up, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to find the optimal price for avocados in a Bayesian data analysis case study. Good luck!

Analisis data Bayesian adalah metode inferensi statistika yang semakin populer, digunakan untuk menentukan probabilitas bersyarat tanpa bergantung pada konstanta tetap seperti tingkat kepercayaan atau p-value. Dalam kursus ini, Anda akan mempelajari cara kerja analisis data Bayesian, perbedaannya dari pendekatan klasik, dan mengapa metode ini menjadi bagian penting dari perlengkapan data science Anda. Anda akan mempraktikkan A/B testing, analisis keputusan, dan pemodelan regresi linear menggunakan pendekatan Bayesian saat menganalisis data periklanan, penjualan, dan penyewaan sepeda dunia nyata. Terakhir, Anda akan langsung menggunakan pustaka PyMC3, yang memudahkan Anda merancang, menyesuaikan, dan menafsirkan model Bayesian.
