Comment on Probablistic Programming and Bayesian Methods for HackersparentComments−zenburnmyface13yHi, Author here. I don't have any plans to write that blog post, but I'll can provide some resources:1. http://timsalimans.com/observing-dark-worlds/ 2. http://timsalimans.com/winning-the-dont-overfit-competition/You mention: "trained in mathematical Bayesian Inference in an Econometrics class but I never did anything practical with it" . This book tries to bridge that, from theory to practice. The examples I provide tend to be very practical.−gtani13yHere's another (same comp, MCMC models took top 2) http://blog.kaggle.com/2012/12/19/a-bayesian-approach-to-obs...−rogerchucker13yMany thanks for those links.
