The Women in Machine Learning & Data Science (WiMLDS) Meetup aims to inspire, educate, regardless of gender, and support women and gender minorities in the field.
We are back for our 19th edition and our 1st coding workshop!
All genders may attend our meetups.
————————
Learn how to implement Bayesian workflows using CmdStanPy (a Python interface for Stan). In this hands-on workshop, we will be working with a very fun (surprise!) dataset and make predictions using Bayesian methods.
CmdStanPy allows pythonistas to add the power of Bayesian inference to their toolkit via a small set of functions and objects designed to use minimal memory and parallelize computation. Given a dataset and a statistical model written as a Stan program, CmdStanPy compiles the model, runs Stan’s MCMC sampler (via CmdStan) to obtain a sample from the posterior, and assembles this sample as a numpy nd-array or pandas.dataframe for downstream visualization and analysis.
Seats are limited. Only subscribe if you know you will attend the workshop.
As usual, the workshop will be led in English.

SPEAKER BIO
————————
Mitzi Morris is a member of the Stan development team and the developer of CmdStanPy ( https://mc-stan.org/about/team/ ).
She has worked as a software engineer in both academia and industry. She started out writing tools for Natural Language Processing in C and Java, then moved to genomics and biomedical informatics where she built pipelines for high-throughput sequencing electronic medical records data, all of which led to an increased interest in doing more and better statistics. She has been a Stan contributor since 2014 and joined the Stan team at Columbia in 2017.
