What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you plan Bayesian model structure and inference workflows using PyMC so you can reason safely about priors, likelihoods, sampling, and diagnostics before running heavy computations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bayesian model planning: Define model components for behavioral or imaging data, including likelihood choices and hierarchical structures.
- Prior/posterior workflow support: Plan priors, posterior summaries, and posterior predictive checks (as guidance rather than execution).
- Sampling diagnostics orientation: Outline what to inspect for MCMC convergence and reliability (e.g., chains/acceptance behavior, trace/summary expectations).
- Routing within a workflow: Use PyMC in conjunction with related skills (e.g., for EEG/imaging summaries) while keeping this Skill focused on Bayesian planning.
Quick Start
Ask the AI: "Given my dataset and the hypothesis I want to test, propose a PyMC Bayesian model plan with recommended priors, likelihood, hierarchical structure (if needed), and which diagnostics to check before interpreting results."
