FAQPage Schema

How do I build hierarchical models with PyMC and validate convergence?▼

Build hierarchical models in PyMC using non-centered parameterization, then validate convergence with ArviZ diagnostics. This workflow applies NUTS sampling and posterior predictive checks to ensure robust probabilistic inference.

What is the best way to compare Bayesian models using LOO or WAIC?▼

Compare Bayesian models using LOO and WAIC criteria to evaluate predictive accuracy. PyMC modeling workflows integrate these metrics with posterior predictive checks to select the most robust probabilistic representation of your data.

Can I perform variational inference and MCMC sampling in the same PyMC workflow?▼

Yes, PyMC supports both NUTS MCMC sampling and variational inference within the same workflow. You can apply either method to fit probabilistic models and use ArviZ for robust convergence diagnostics.

How do I quantify uncertainty in time-series predictions using Bayesian modeling?▼

Quantify time-series uncertainty by defining a probabilistic PyMC model and running the sampler to obtain posterior distributions. This yields robust probabilistic inferences and enables full predictive checks.

Do I need ArviZ to run diagnostics on my PyMC Bayesian models?▼

Yes, ArviZ is required to perform robust diagnostics for convergence and model fit. It standardizes the evaluation of MCMC sampling outputs and posterior predictive checks in the PyMC workflow.
