Introduction

This package contains Julia versions of the mcmc models contained in the R package "rethinking" associated with the book Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath. It is part of the StatisticalRethinkingJulia Github organization of packages.

This package implements the models using TuringLang/Turing.jl.

Versions

v1.0.0

  • Set upper bounds in [compat] section of Project.toml
  • Activated CompatHelper (see CompatHelpper.jl)
  • No longer uses Literate.jl. This version simply contains the models.
  • Some of the models are pretty slow.

v0.5

  • Based on capturing the documentation by Literate.
  • Literate.jl used to generate notebook versions

Acknowledgements

Richard Torkar has taken the lead in developing the Turing versions of the models in chapter 8 and subsequent chapters.

The TuringLang team and #turing contributors on Slack have been extremely helpful! The Turing examples by Cameron Pfiffer have been a great help and followed closely in several example scripts.
