Upcoming Courses
Still time to register for my upcoming charity course on regression modeling and help raising funds for World Central Kitchen and United Farm Workers. To attend live, or download the recordings and course material, all you have to do is make a donation of 50 USD to either organization and then send me a screen shot of the confirmation. Details about the course and registration process can be found on my website, https://betanalpha.github.io/courses/.
Upcoming Office Hours
On Wednesday, December 3 at 1:30 PM EST I'll be hosting another round of statistics office hours, https://www.patreon.com/posts/hot-and-humid-8-134225391. In these office hours I address as many questions as possible on topics spanning modeling, inference, visualization, probabilistic programming, and more. The livestream and VOD will be public; you just need a free Patreon account to add your question to the queue or a Google account to ask questions live during the livestream.
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 inquiries@symplectomorphic.com for any questions about potential consulting engagements and training courses.
Probabilistic Modeling Discord
I set up a Discord server dedicated to discussion about (narratively) generative modeling of all kinds. For directions on how to join see https://www.patreon.com/posts/generative-88674175. Come join the conversation! Lately we’ve been discussing everything from tacos and ranking models to concussions.
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. Recently I’ve shared some short notes on joint mixture models and the exploded logit model.
