SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

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."

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a Bayesian model structure in PyMC for psychology or neuroscience data?

To plan a Bayesian model structure in PyMC, you define model components for behavioral or imaging data by specifying appropriate likelihood choices and hierarchical structures before running any heavy computations.

What should I check for MCMC convergence diagnostics when doing hierarchical modeling in PyMC?

For MCMC convergence diagnostics in PyMC, you should inspect chain and acceptance behavior, along with trace and summary expectations, to ensure sampling reliability before interpreting the posterior results.

How do I choose priors and plan posterior predictive checks for a Bayesian workflow?

Choosing priors and planning posterior predictive checks involves outlining prior specifications and posterior summarization strategies as guidance, ensuring safe inference planning before executing actual sampling.

Does this PyMC guidance support running heavy sampling automatically for behavioral data?

No, this PyMC guidance does not run heavy sampling automatically; it avoids executing long or computationally heavy sampling without explicit user confirmation to ensure safe inference workflows.

Can I use PyMC Bayesian planning together with EEG or imaging summary workflows?

Yes, you can use PyMC Bayesian planning in conjunction with related skills for EEG or imaging summaries, keeping the focus specifically on Bayesian model planning and routing within the broader workflow.
