Description

How do you use Probabilistic Programming and PyMC to predict the Six Nations Rugby?

Abstract

This is a quick case study on how to use Bayesian Statistics or Probabilistic Programming in Python. I'll give an introduction to Bayesian Modelling and show a very rapid model for simulating the Six Nations Rugby.

I'll include sources of where you can look at more examples. http://springcoil.github.io/Bayesian_Model.html
