Does the author have any blog post or plan to write one about this part: "After some recent success of Bayesian methods in machine-learning competitions"? It will then be easier to translate Bayesian Inference to real world problem for noobs like me. I was trained in mathematical Bayesian Inference in an Econometrics class but I never did anything practical with it.
- zenburnmyface 13y agoHi, Author here. I don't have any plans to write that blog post, but I'll can provide some resources: 1. http://timsalimans.com/observing-dark-worlds/ http://timsalimans.com/observing-dark-worlds/ 2. http://timsalimans.com/winning-the-dont-overfit-competition/ http://timsalimans.com/winning-the-dont-overfit-competition/ You mention: "trained in mathematical Bayesian Inference in an Econometrics class but I never did anything practical with it" . This book tries to bridge that, from theory to practice. The examples I provide tend to be very practical.
