Oriol unraveled#
A well known Catalan saying goes: “Xerrar pels descosits”. It means that somebody talks too much. “xerrar” is talking and a “descosit” refers to pieces of fabric that have come undone or been unraveled. I generally do not talk too much, in fact I tend to talk too little unless we are talking about topics such as statistics or programming. I hope this blog can be a place to unravel concepts on statistics, open source and programming, allowing me to “xerrar pels descosits” in blog version.
Get ready for some puns and let’s dive in!
Projects#
Most of my current work is related to two community-driven open source libraries: ArviZ and PyMC. They are both related to Bayesian modelling, but have different and complementary goals.
The ArviZ project provides tools for Exploratory Analysis of Bayesian Models that do not depend on the inference library nor the programming language used.
That includes visualization, sampling diagnostics, model comparison, summary statistics or model checking. The ArviZ project maintains several libraries in Python and Julia.
PyMC is a project for probabilistic programming in Python. PyMC strives to make Bayesian modelling as simple and painless as possible, allowing users to focus on their problem rather than the methods.
The PyMC project maintains the PyMC library, the flagship of the project, as well as extensive documentation and some smaller libraries that complement the PyMC library. Moreover, it also organizes many activities such as PyMCon.
See the Projects page for a complete list of the projects I am involved in.
