feature requests related to the PyMC3 library itself.

Finally, if you need to get in touch for non-technical information about the project, send us an e-mail. Getting started ===============

If you already know about Bayesian statistics:

• API quickstart guide
• The PyMC3 tutorial
• PyMC3 examples and the API reference

Learn Bayesian statistics with a book together with PyMC3:

• Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Fantastic book with many applied code examples.
• PyMC3 port of the book "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis" by John Kruschke as well as the second edition: Principled introduction to Bayesian data analysis.
• PyMC3 port of the book "Statistical Rethinking A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan" by Richard McElreath
• PyMC3 port of the book "Bayesian Cognitive Modeling" by Michael Lee and EJ Wagenmakers: Focused on using Bayesian statistics in cognitive modeling.
• Bayesian Analysis with Python (second edition) by Osvaldo Martin: Great introductory book. (code and errata).

PyMC3 talks

There are also several talks on PyMC3 which are gathered in this YouTube playlist and as part of PyMCon 2020
