In this tutorial, we explore hierarchical Bayesian regression with NumPyro and walk through the entire workflow in a structured manner. We start by generating synthetic data, then we define a probabilistic model that captures both global patterns and group-level variations. Through each snippet, we set up inference using NUTS, analyze posterior distributions, and perform posterior predictive checks to understand how well our model captures the underlying structure. By approaching the tutorial step by step, we build an intuitive […]

Creating and sharing knowledge are defining traits of humankind, yet copyright law has grown so restrictive that it can require acts of civil disobedience to ensure that students and scholars have the books they need and to preserve swaths of culture from being lost forever. Reputable research generally follows a familiar pattern: Scientific articles are written by scholars based on their research—often with public funding. Those articles are then peer-reviewed by other scholars in their fields and revisions […]
