Bayesian inference with Python

Silas (Dr. Silas Hsu https://smhsu.github.io/) will introduce the basics of Bayesian statistical inference, including:

• Advantages and disadvantages of Bayesian inference over traditional, frequentist statistics
• A quick review of the theory behind Bayesian inference
• Basic inference by sampling posterior distributions in Python (technical details: Markov Chain Monte Carlo using the NumPyro library)

Basic knowledge of Python and statistics welcome but not necessary!
