Lecture 16

For today you should:

1) Finish cleaning up your journal.

Today:

1) Bayesian statistics part 1

2) Quiz.

For next time you should:

1) Have a good break.

My dilemma:

1) No reading while you work on journals.

2) No new topics that are urgent for the projects.

3) What's the most valuable thing we could do in 2 sessions of 30-40 minutes?

Bayesian statistics

1) Run

git clone https://github.com/AllenDowney/BayesMadeSimple.git

cd BayesMadeSimple

python install_test.py

If you like IPython, launch it.  Otherwise you can do the exercises in the Python IDE of your choice.

2) Follow along with the slides:
