The companion code repository for 'Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics Made Simple' by Allen B. Downey, a book published by O'Reilly Media. It contains Python examples and exercises that teach Bayesian statistics through hands-on computation.

Use cases

  • learn bayesian statistics with python
  • find worked examples of bayes theorem in code
  • supplement reading the Think Bayes book
  • teach an intro bayesian statistics course
  • practice probability modeling with python

When to choose

  • you are reading or teaching from the Think Bayes book
  • you want code-first, computational introductions to Bayesian methods
  • you prefer learning statistics through runnable Python examples

When to avoid

  • you need a production Bayesian inference library like PyMC or Stan
  • you want actively maintained statistical software
  • you need a license-clear codebase for redistribution
