Recent Code Update


Did you know that I maintain a suite of principled diagnostic and visualization tools for Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis in both R and Python?

I just updated the visualization tools to include a new nested quantile plot variant.


Consulting and Training


Are you, or is someone you know, struggling to develop, implement, or scale a Bayesian analysis compatible with your domain expertise? If so then I can help.

I can be reached at [email protected] for any questions about potential consulting engagements and training courses.


Probabilistic Modeling Discord


I set up an open Discord server dedicated to discussion about (narratively) generative modeling of all kinds, including networking and job opportunities. For directions on how to join see https://www.patreon.com/posts/generative-88674175. Come join the conversation!


Support Me on Patreon


If my work had benefited your own and you have the resources then consider supporting me on Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/c/betanalpha. Right now covector+ supporters have early (and potentially exclusive) access to a new, massive chapter on discrete choice modeling.


Recent Rants


My rants this month were a bit too long to include directly, but they’re available for free per on Patreon.
