Think Bayes 2 is a free book by Allen Downey introducing Bayesian statistics through computational methods, with text and supporting Python code. Each chapter has a Jupyter notebook with examples and exercises, runnable locally or on Colab.
Use cases
- learn bayesian statistics with python
- free book on bayes theorem and probability
- jupyter notebooks for bayesian data analysis
- computational approach to statistics exercises
- learn pymc through worked examples
- self-study statistics textbook with code
When to choose
- you want to learn Bayesian statistics hands-on with runnable Python code
- you prefer computational over mathematical derivations
- you need a free, openly licensed textbook with exercise solutions
When to avoid
- you need a production Bayesian inference library rather than teaching material
- you want a purely theoretical or proof-heavy treatment
- you need commercial redistribution, since the book is CC BY-NC-SA
