# Bayesian Methods for Hackers Layout \section{ Preamble} \chapter1{ Introduction } \chapter2{More PyMC / Modeling in PyMC} #flexible about what this section is. Basically it's more intro to the syntax of PyMC, with examples + distributions. \chapter3{ Intro to MCMC and Diagnogstics } \chapter4{ The greatest theorem never told } #This is about the law of large numbers and how a bayesian uses it for estimates. \chapter5{ Would you rather lose an arm or a leg? } #Introduction to loss functions and point estimation. >>>>>>>>> Below is subject to change \chapter6{What should my prior look like?} \subsection{Noninformative priors...} \subsection{Noninformative priors do not exist} \subsection{Good choices of priors } \chapter7{ Bayesian Networks } #I do not know too much about this. \chapter8{ Gaussian Processes } # pymc.gp \chapter9{ Large Scale systems } #how can we scale PyMC to larger systems/datasets? \chapter10{More hacking with PyMC} #some examples from PyMC. # Potential class? \section{Appendix} \subsection{A} #Chart of distributions and their support \subsection{B} #Appendix on MCMC \section{C} #Proofs
