A repository for collating all the resources such as articles, blogs, papers, and books related to Bayesian Statistics.

Awesome Bayesian Statistics

This is a repository that I created while learning Bayesian Statistics. It contains links to resources such as books, articles, magazines, research papers, and influential people in the domain of Bayesian Statistics. It will be helpful for beginners who want a one-stop access to all the resources at one place.

It is a collaborative work, so feel free to pull and add content to this. This way, we will be able to make it more community-driven.
