If you are interested in the practical practice of Bayesian methods (and you love Python), check out our open-source project/book Bayesian Methods for Hackers:

https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabilistic-Programmin...

We aim to empower the non-mathematician with really cool tools and methods to solve otherwise very difficult problems. Plus it's all opensource, and every plot/diagram is reproducible and extendable.



As an aside, I just want to thank you for making the project/book text available as iPython notebooks. I haven't seen a mathematical writeup as beautiful and interactive as the chapters that you've put out. I've only had time to go through a couple of them, but it really is a treat.

Also, I've learned so much more about how people use python to do analysis and all sorts of other things through ipynb files than reviewing traditional python libraries/code. I wish more people would publish using them.


Wow, this is fantastic! Thank you for one of the sweetest projects I've seen this year.


Your book seems very interesting. I await the other chapters eagerly
