If you are struggling to understand the README, I highly recommend the book Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan by Richard McElreath. Although the examples are in R, the same concepts apply to Pyro (and NumPyro)

- nsingh2 2y agoI read through the second edition, and would recommend as well [1] (has numpyro, pyro, pymc code). He also has a great lecture series on youtube [2] [1] https://xcelab.net/rm/ https://xcelab.net/rm/ [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdnMWdICdRs&list=PLDcUM9US4XdPz-KxHM4XHt7uUVGWWVSus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdnMWdICdRs&list=PLDcUM9US4X...

- almostgotcaught 2y agoit's not that complicated that you need to read a whole book just to get a rough idea: it's just a cutesy way to specify a "plate model"[1] and then run inference using that model. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_notation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_notation
