Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Book review: Everything Is Predictable, published by PeterMcCluskey on May 27, 2024 on LessWrong. Book review: Everything Is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World, by Tom Chivers. Many have attempted to persuade the world to embrace a Bayesian worldview, but none have succeeded in reaching a broad audience. E.T. Jaynes' book has been a leading example, but its appeal is limited to those who find calculus enjoyable, making it unsuitable for a wider readership. Other attempts to engage a broader audience often focus on a narrower understanding, such as Bayes' Theorem, rather than the complete worldview. Claude's most fitting recommendation was Rationality: From AI to Zombies, but at 1,813 pages, it's too long and unstructured for me to comfortably recommend to most readers. (GPT-4o's suggestions were less helpful, focusing only on resources for practical problem-solving). Aubrey Clayton's book, Bernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science, only came to my attention because Chivers mentioned it, offering mixed reviews that hint at why it remained unnoticed. Chivers has done his best to mitigate this gap. While his book won't reach as many readers as I'd hoped, I'm comfortable recommending it as the standard introduction to the Bayesian worldview for most readers. Basics Chivers guides readers through the fundamentals of Bayes' Theorem, offering little that's extraordinary in this regard. A fair portion of the book is dedicated to explaining why probability should be understood as a function of our ignorance, contrasting with the frequentist approach that attempts to treat probability as if it existed independently of our minds. The book has many explanations of how frequentists are wrong, yet concedes that the leading frequentists are not stupid. Frequentism's problems often stem from a misguided effort to achieve more objectivity in science than seems possible. The only exception to this mostly fair depiction of frequentists is a section titled "Are Frequentists Racist?". Chivers repeats Clayton's diatribe affirming this, treating the diatribe more seriously than it deserves, before dismissing it. (Frequentists were racist when racism was popular. I haven't seen any clear evidence of whether Bayesians behaved differently). The Replication Crisis Chivers explains frequentism's role in the replication crisis. A fundamental drawback of p-values is that they indicate the likelihood of the data given a hypothesis, which differs from the more important question of how likely the hypothesis is given the data. Here, Chivers (and many frequentists) overlook a point raised by Deborah Mayo: p-values can help determine if an experiment had a sufficiently large sample size. Deciding whether to conduct a larger experiment can be as ew: Everything Is Predictablecrucial as drawing the best inference from existing data. The perversity of common p-value usage is exemplified by Lindley's paradox: a p-value below 0.05 can sometimes provide Bayesian evidence against the tested hypothesis. A p-value of 0.04 indicates that the data are unlikely given the null hypothesis, but we can construct scenarios where the data are even less likely under the hypothesis you wish to support. A key factor in the replication crisis is the reward system for scientists and journals, which favors publishing surprising results. The emphasis on p-values allows journals to accept more surprising results compared to a Bayesian approach, creating a clear disincentive for individual scientists or journals to adopt Bayesian methods before others do. Minds Approximate Bayes The book concludes by describing how human minds employ heuristics that closely approximate the Bayesian approach. This includes a well-written summary of how predictive processing works, demonstrating ...

I will refer you back to his two previous appearances on the show though, because learning from Andrew is always a pleasure. So go ahead and listen to episodes 20 and 27.In this episode, Andrew and I discuss his new book, Active Statistics, which focuses on teaching and learning statistics through active student participation. Like this episode, the book is divided into three parts: 1) The ideas of statistics, regression, and causal inference; 2) The value of storytelling to make statistical concepts more relatable and interesting; 3) The importance of teaching statistics in an active learning environment, where students are engaged in problem-solving and discussion.And Andrew is so active and knowledgeable that we of course touched on a variety of other topics — but for that, you'll have to listen ;)Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

They discuss the use of computer models and data analysis in understanding glacier behavior and predicting sea level rise, and a lot of other fascinating topics.Andy grew up in the Swiss Alps, and studied Earth Sciences, with a focus on atmospheric and climate science and glaciology. After his PhD, Andy moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, and became involved with the Parallel Ice Sheet Model, the first open-source and openly-developed ice sheet model.His first PhD student was no other than… Doug Brinkerhoff! Doug did an MS in computer science at the University of Montana, focusing on numerical methods for ice sheet modeling, and then moved to Fairbanks to complete his PhD. While in Fairbanks, he became an ardent Bayesian after “seeing that uncertainty needs to be embraced rather than ignored”. Doug has since moved back to Montana, becoming faculty in the University of Montana's computer science department.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

One of the bottlenecks is learning the appropriate kernel. What if you could learn the structure of GP kernels automatically? Sounds really cool, but also a bit futuristic, doesn't it?Well, think again, because in this episode, Feras Saad will teach us how to do just that! Feras is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his PhD in Computer Science from MIT, and, most importantly for our conversation, he's the creator of AutoGP.jl, a Julia package for automatic Gaussian process modeling.Feras discusses the implementation of AutoGP, how it scales, what you can do with it, and how you can integrate its outputs in your models.Finally, Feras provides an overview of Sequential Monte Carlo and its usefulness in AutoGP, highlighting the ability of SMC to incorporate new data in a streaming fashion and explore multiple modes efficiently.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Dmitry explains the concept of reactive message passing and its applications in real-time signal processing and autonomous systems. He discusses the challenges and benefits of using RxInfer.jl, including its scalability and efficiency in large probabilistic models. Dmitry also shares insights into the trade-offs involved in Bayesian inference architecture and the role of variational inference in RxInfer.jl. Additionally, he discusses his startup Lazy Dynamics and its goal of commercializing research in Bayesian inference. Finally, we also discuss the user-friendliness and trade-offs of different inference methods, the future developments of RxInfer, and the future of automated Bayesian inference. Coming from a very small town in Russia called Nizhnekamsk, Dmitry currently lives in the Netherlands, where he did his PhD. Before that, he graduated from the Computational Science and Modeling department of Moscow State University.

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch!My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses1:1 Mentorship with meYou know I'm a big fan of everything physics. So when I heard that Bayesian stats was especially useful in quantum physics, I had to make an episode about it!You'll hear from Chris Ferrie, an Associate Professor at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information of the University of Technology Sydney. Chris also has a foot in industry, as a co-founder of Eigensystems, an Australian start-up with a mission to democratize access to quantum computing. Of course, we talked about why Bayesian stats are helpful in quantum physics research, and about the burning challenges in this line of research.But Chris is also a renowned author — in addition to writing Bayesian Probability for Babies, he is the author of Quantum Physics for Babies and Quantum Bullsh*t: How to Ruin Your Life With Advice from Quantum Physics. So we ended up talking about science communication, science education, and a shocking revelation about Ant Man…A big thank you to one of my best Patrons, Stefan Lorenz, for recommending me an episode with Chris!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Allen is a renowned author in the fields of programming and data science, with books such as "Think Python" and "Think Bayes" to his credit. He also authors the blog "Probably Overthinking It" and has a new book by the same name, which he just released in December 2023.In this conversation, we tried to help you differentiate between right and wrong ways of looking at statistical data, discussed the Overton paradox and the role of Bayesian thinking in it, and detailed a mysterious Bayesian killer app!But that's not all: we even addressed the claim that Bayesian and frequentist methods often yield the same results — and why it's a false claim.

Book a call, or get in touch!My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses1:1 Mentorship with meWelcome to another installment of our LBS physics deep dive! After exploring the world of experimental physics at CERN in our first video documentary in episode 93, we'll stay in Geneva for this one, but this time we'll dive into theoretical physics.We'll explore mysterious components of the universe, like dark matter and dark energy. We'll also see how the study of gravity intersects with the study of particle physics, especially when considering black holes and the early universe. Even crazier, we'll see that there are actual experiments and observational projects going on to answer these fundamental questions!Our guide for this episode is Valerie Domcke, permanent research staff member at CERN, who did her PhD in Hamburg, Germany, and postdocs in Trieste and Paris.When she's not trying to decipher the mysteries of the universe, Valerie can be found on boats, as she's a big sailing fan.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

He also studies Bayesian statistics, as applied in psychometrics, broadly. So, naturally, we discuss the significance of psychometrics in psychological sciences, and how Bayesian methods are helpful in this field.We also talk about challenges in choosing appropriate prior distributions, best practices for model comparison, and how you can use the Multivariate Normal distribution to infer the correlations between the predictors of your linear regressions.This is a deep-reaching conversation that concludes with the future of Bayesian statistics in psychological, educational, and social sciences — hope you'll enjoy it!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Not only because it allows me to model interesting phenomena and learn about the world I live in. But because it's part of a broader epistemological framework that confronts me with deep questions — how do you make decisions under uncertainty? How do you communicate risk and uncertainty? What does being rational even mean?Thankfully, Gerd Gigerenzer is there to help us navigate these fascinating topics. Gerd is the Director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy of the University of Potsdam, Germany.Also Director emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, he is a former Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of Law of the University of Virginia. Gerd has written numerous awarded articles and books, including Risk Savvy, Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart, Rationality for Mortals, and How to Stay Smart in a Smart World.As you'll hear, Gerd has trained U.S. federal judges, German physicians, and top managers to make better decisions under uncertainty.But Gerd is also a banjo player, has won a medal in Judo, and loves scuba diving, skiing, and, above all, reading.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

And I also love football — I've been a PSG fan since I'm 5 years old, so I've lived it all with this club.. And yet, I've never done a European-centered football analytics episode because, well, the US are much more advanced when it comes to sports analytics.But today, I'm happy to say this day has come: a sports analytics episode where we can actually talk about European football. And that is thanks to Maximilan Göbel.Max is a post-doctoral researcher in Economics and Finance at Bocconi University in Milan. Before that, he did his PhD in Economics at the Lisbon School of Economics and Management. Max is a very passionate football fan and played himself for almost 25 years in his local football club. Unfortunately, he had to give it up when starting his PhD — don't worry, he still goes to the gym, or goes running and sometimes cycling.Max is also a great cook, inspired by all kinds of Italian food, and an avid podcast listener — from financial news, to health and fitness content, and even a mysterious and entertaining Bayesian podcast…Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

When should we use VI instead of MCMC?These are some of the captivating (and practical) questions we'll tackle in this episode. I had the chance to interview Charles Margossian, a research fellow in computational mathematics at the Flatiron Institute, and a core developer of the Stan software.Charles was born and raised in Paris, and then moved to the US to pursue a bachelor's degree in physics at Yale university. After graduating, he worked for two years in biotech, and went on to do a PhD in statistics at Columbia University with someone named… Andrew Gelman — you may have heard of him.Charles is also specialized in pharmacometrics and epidemiology, so we also talked about some practical applications of Bayesian methods and algorithms in these fascinating fields.Oh, and Charles' life doesn't only revolve around computers: he practices ballroom dancing and pickup soccer, and used to do improvised musical comedy!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

But it's precisely its complexity that makes the science of exercise and nutrition fascinating.This is the longest LBS episode so far, and you'll understand why pretty quickly: we covered a very wide range of topics, starting with the concept of metabolic adaptation and how our physiology and brain react to caloric deficits or caloric surpluses.We also talked about the connection between metabolic adaptation and exercise energy compensation, shedding light on the interactions between the two, and how they make weight management more complex.Statistics are of utmost importance in these endeavors, so of course we touched on how Bayesian stats can help mitigate the challenges of low sample sizes and over-focus on average treatment effect.My guest for this marathon episode, is no other than Eric Trexler. Currently at the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology of Duke University, Eric conducts research on metabolism and cardiometabolic health. He has a PhD in Human Movement Science from UNC Chapel Hill, and has published dozens of peer-reviewed research papers related to exercise, nutrition, and metabolism.In addition, Eric is a former professional bodybuilder and has been coaching clients with goals related to health, fitness, and athletics since 2009.In other words, get comfy for a broad and nerdy conversation about the mysteries related to energy expenditure regulation, weight management, and evolutionary mechanisms underpinning current health challenges.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Philipp studied in Heidelberg, also in Germany, and at Imperial College, London. Philipp received his PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, under the supervision of David MacKay, before moving to Tübingen in 2011. Since his PhD, he has been interested in the connection between computation and inference. With international colleagues, he helped establish the idea of probabilistic numerics, which describes computation as Bayesian inference. His book, Probabilistic Numerics — Computation as Machine Learning, co-authored with Mike Osborne and Hans Kersting, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2022 and is also openly available online. So get comfy to explore the principles that underpin these algorithms, how they differ from traditional numerical methods, and how to incorporate uncertainty into the decision-making process of these algorithms.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Not only because Ben Vincent is a friend, fellow PyMC Labs developer, and outstanding Bayesian modeler. But because he works on so many fascinating topics — so I'm all the happier to finally have him on the show!In this episode, we're gonna focus on causal inference, how it naturally extends Bayesian modeling, and how you can use the CausalPy open-source package to supercharge your Bayesian causal inference. We'll also touch on marketing models and the pymc-marketing package, because, well, Ben does a lot of stuff ;)Ben got his PhD in neuroscience at Sussex University, in the UK. After a postdoc at the University of Bristol, working on robots and active vision, as well as 15 years as a lecturer at the Scottish University of Dundee, he switched to the private sector, working with us full time at PyMC Labs — and that is a treat!When he's not working, Ben loves running 5k's, cycling in the forest, lifting weights, and… learning about modern monetary theory.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Book a call, or get in touch!Listen on PoduramaMy Intuitive Bayes Online Courses1:1 Mentorship with meThis episode is unlike anything I've covered so far on the show. Let me ask you: Do you know what a research synchronous language is? What about hybrid systems? Last try: have you heard of Zelus, or ProbZelus?If you answered “no” to one of the above, then you're just like me! And that's why I invited Guillaume Baudart for this episode — to teach us about all these fascinating topics!Guillaume is a researcher in programming languages who works on ProbZelus, a probabilistic extension to Zelus, itself a research synchronous language to implement hybrid systems. To simplify, Zelus is a modeling framework to simulate the dynamics of systems both smooth and subject to discrete dynamics — if you've ever worked with ODEs, you may be familiar with these terms.If you're not — great, Guillaume will explain everything in the episode! And I know it might sound niche, but this kind of approach actually has very important applications — such as proving that there are no bugs in a program.Guillaume did his PhD at École Normale Supérieure, in Paris, working on reactive programming languages and quasi-periodic systems. He then worked in the AI programming team of IBM Research, before coming back to the École Normale Supérieure, working mostly on reactive and probabilistic programming.In his free time, Guillaume loves spending time with his family, playing the violin with friends, and… cooking!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

I am of course talking about Jim Albert.Jim grew up in the Philadelphia area and studied statistics at Purdue University. He then spent his entire 41-year academic career at Bowling Green State University, which gave him a wide diversity of classes to teach – from intro statistics through doctoral level.As you'll hear, he's always had a passion for Bayesian education, Bayesian modeling and learning about statistics through sports. I find that passion fascinating about Jim, and I suspect that's one of the main reasons for his prolific career — really, the list of his writings and teachings is impressive; just go take a look at the show notes.Now an Emeritus Professor of Bowling Green, Jim is retired, but still an active tennis player and writer on sports analytics — his blog, “Exploring Baseball with R”, is nearing 400 posts!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Along the way, I keep learning, and I meet fascinating people, like Tarmo Jüristo.Tarmo is hard to describe. These days, he's heading an NGO called Salk, in the Baltic state called Estonia. Among other things, they are studying and forecasting elections, which is how we met and ended up collaborating with PyMC Labs, our Bayesian consultancy.But Tarmo is much more than that. Born in 1971 in what was still the Soviet Union, he graduated in finance from Tartu University. He worked in finance and investment banking until the 2009 crisis, when he quit and started a doctorate in… cultural studies. He then went on to write for theater and TV, teaching literature, anthropology and philosophy. An avid world traveler, he also teaches kendo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.As you'll hear in the episode, after lots of adventures, he established Salk, and they just used a Bayesian hierarchical model with post-stratification to forecast the results of the 2023 Estonian parliamentary elections and target the campaign efforts to specific demographics.Oh, and let thing: Tarmo is a fan of the show — I told you he was a great guy ;)Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch!Did you know that the way your brain perceives speed depends on your priors? And it's not the same at night? And it's not the same for everybody?This is another of these episodes I love where we dive into neuroscience, how the brain works, and how it relates to Bayesian stats. It's actually a follow-up to episode 77, where Pascal Wallisch told us how the famous black and blue dress tells a lot about our priors about how we perceive the world. So I strongly recommend listening to episode 77 first, and then come back here, to have your mind blown away again, this time by Alan Stocker.Alan was born and raised in Switzerland. After a PhD in physics at ETH Zurich, he somehow found himself doing neuroscience, during a postdoc at NYU. And then he never stopped — still leading the Computational Perception and Cognition Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania.But Alan is also a man of music (playing the piano when he can), a man of coffee (he'll never refuse an olympia cremina or a kafatek) and a man of the outdoors (he loves trashing through deep powder with his snowboard).Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Maybe you've even used one — but you're not proud of it, because you didn't know what you were doing. Thankfully, in this episode, we'll go to the roots of regression trees — oh yeah, that's what BART stands for. What were you thinking about?Our tree expert will be no one else than Sameer Deshpande. Sameer is an assistant professor of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to that, he completed a postdoc at MIT and earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from UPenn.On the methodological front, he is interested in Bayesian hierarchical modeling, regression trees, model selection, and causal inference. Much of his applied work is motivated by an interest in understanding the long-term health consequences of playing American-style tackle football. He also enjoys modeling sports data and was a finalist in the 2019 NFL Big Data Bowl.Outside of Statistics, he enjoys cooking, making cocktails, and photography — sometimes doing all of those at the same time…Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

In "Bernoulli's Fallacy" stellt Aubrey Clayton dar, dass die allgemein üblich verwendeten Methoden der Statistik einen grundlegenden Fehler in den zugrunde liegenden Annahmen haben und wie sich diese durchsetzen konnten, heute aber zu Problemen führen. Er schlägt vor, stärker den Ansatz von bedingten Wahrscheinlichkeiten, als Norm in der Statistik zu verwenden und generell anzuerkennen, dass die Erwartungen der Auswertenden immer einen Einfluss auf die Interpretationen von Statistiken haben werden.

Nevertheless, to me, dresses are one of the most elegant pieces of clothing ever invented.And I like them even more when they change colors. Well, they don't really change colors — it's the way we perceive the colors that can change. You remember that dress that looked black and blue to some people, and white and gold to others? Well that's exactly what we'll dive into and explain in this episode.Why do we literally see the world differently? Why does that even happen beyond our consciousness, most of the time? And cherry on the cake: how on Earth could this be related to… priors?? Yes, as in Bayesian priors!Pascal Wallisch will shed light on all these topics in this episode. Pascal is a professor of Psychology and Data Science at New York University, where he studies a diverse range of topics including perception, cognitive diversity, the roots of disagreement and psychopathy.Originally from Germany, Pascal did his undergraduate studies at the Free University of Berlin. He then received his PhD from the University of Chicago, where he studied visual perception.In addition to scientific articles on psychology and neuroscience, he wrote multiple books on scientific computing and data science. As you'll hear, Pascal is a wonderful science communicator, so it's only normal that he also writes for a general audience at Slate or the Creativity Post, and has given public talks at TedX and Think and Drink.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

So, obviously, when I watched Top Gun 2, I became fascinated by the aerodynamics of fighters jets. And it so happens that one of my friends used to be a fighter pilot for the Canadian army… Immediately, I thought this would make for a cool episode — and here we are!Actually, Jason Berndt wanted to be a pilot from the age of 3. When he was 6, he went to an air show, and then specifically wanted to become a fighter pilot. In his teens, he learned how to fly saliplanes, small single engine aircrafts. At age 22, he got a bachelor's in aero engineering from the royal military college, and then — well, he'll tell you the rest in the episode.Now in his thirties, he owns real estate and created his own company, My Two Brows, selling temporary eyebrow tattoos — which, weirdly enough, is actually related to his time in the army…In his free time, Jason plays the guitar, travels around the world (that's actually how we met), and loves chasing adrenaline however he can (paragliding, scuba diving, you name it!).Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

It turns out he's courageous too: although he's not a fan of public speaking, he accepted my invitation on this show — and I'm really glad he did!Adrian studied math and bioinformatics in Germany and now lives in the US, where he enjoys doing maths, baking bread and hiking.We talked about the why and how of his new project, Nutpie, a more efficient implementation of the NUTS sampler in Rust. We also dived deep into the new ZeroSumNormal distribution he created and that's available from PyMC 4.2 onwards — what is it? Why would you use it? And when?Adrian will also tell us about his favorite type of models, as well as what he currently sees as the biggest hurdles in the Bayesian workflow.Each time I talk with Adrian, I learn a lot and am filled with enthusiasm — and now I hope you will too!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Her research has explored how to best align data-driven interfaces and representations of uncertainty with human reasoning capabilities, which is what we'll mainly talk about in this episode.Jessica also tries to understand the role of interactive analysis across different stages of a statistical workflow, and how to evaluate data visualization interfaces.Her work has been awarded with multiple best paper and honorable mention awards, and she frequently speaks and blogs on topics related to visualization and reasoning about uncertainty — as usual, you'll find the links in the show notes.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Back in 2016, when I started dedicating my evenings and weekends to learning how to code and do serious stats, I was a bit lost… Where do I start? Which language do I pick? Why are all those languages just named with one single letter?? Then I found some stats classes by Justin Bois — and it was a tremendous help to get out of that wood (and yes, this was a pun). I really loved Justin's teaching because he was making the assumptions explicit, and also explained them — which was so much more satisfying to my nerdy brain, which always wonders why we're making this assumption and not that one. So of course, I'm thrilled to be hosting Justin on the show today! Justin is a Teaching Professor in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering at Caltech, California, where he also did his PhD. Before that, he was a postdoc in biochemistry at UCLA, as well as the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, Germany. Most importantly for the football fans, he's a goalkeeper — actually, the day before recording, he saved two penalty kicks… and even scored a goal!

A great franchise comes with a great rivalry: Marvel has Iron Man and Captain America; physics has General Relativity and Quantum Physics; and Bayesian stats has Posterior Estimation and… Bayes Factors! A few months ago, I had the pleasure of hosting EJ Wagenmakers, to talk about these topics. This time, I'm talking with Jorge Tendeiro, who has a different perspective on Null Hypothesis Testing in the Bayesian framework, and its relationship with generative models and posterior estimation. But this is not your classic, click-baity podcast, and I'm not interested in pitching people against each other. Instead, you'll hear Jorge talk about the other perspective fairly, before even giving his take on the topic. Jorge will also tell us about the difficulty of arguing through papers, and all the nuances you lose compared to casual discussions. But who is Jorge Tendeiro? He is a professor at Hiroshima University in Japan, and he was recommended to me by Pablo Bernabeu, a listener of this very podcast. Before moving to Japan, Jorge studied math and applied stats at the University of Porto, and did his PhD in the Netherlands. He focuses on item response theory (specifically person fit analysis), and, of course, Bayesian statistics, mostly Bayes factors. He's also passionate about privacy issues in the 21st century, an avid Linux user since 2006, and is trying to get the hang of the Japanese language.

Hosting someone like Kevin Murphy on your podcast is… complicated. Not because Kevin himself is complicated (he's delightful, don't make me say what I didn't say!), but because all the questions I had for him amounted to a 12-hour show. Sooooo, brace yourselves folks! No, I'm kidding. Of course I didn't do that folks, Kevin has a life! This life started in Ireland, where he was born. He grew up in England and got his BA from the University of Cambridge. After his PhD at UC Berkeley, he did a postdoc at MIT, and was an associate professor of computer science and statistics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, from 2004 to 2012. After getting tenure, he went to Google in California in 2011 on his sabbatical and then ended up staying. He currently runs a team of about 8 researchers inside of Google Brain working on generative models, optimization, and other, as Kevin puts it, “basic” research topics in AI/ML. He has published over 125 papers in refereed conferences and journals, as well 3 textbooks on machine learning published in 2012, 2022 and the last one coming in 2023. You may be familiar with his 2012 book, as it was awarded the DeGroot Prize for best book in the field of statistical science. Outside of work, Kevin enjoys traveling, outdoor sports (especially tennis, snowboarding and scuba diving), as well as reading, cooking, and spending time with his family.

Is there life in the Universe? It doesn't get deeper than this, does it? And yet, why do we care about that? In the very small chance that there is other life in the Universe, we have even less chance to discover it, talk to it and meet it. So, why do we care? Well, it may surprise you but Bayesian statistics helps us think about these astronomical and — dare I say? — philosophical topics, as my guest, David Kipping, will brilliantly explain in this episode. David is an Associate Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University, where he leads the Cool Worlds Lab — I know, the name is awesome. His team's research spans exoplanet discovery and characterization, the search for life in the Universe and developing novel approaches to our exploration of the cosmos. David also teaches astrostatistics, and his contributions to Bayesian statistics span astrobiology to exoplanet detection. He also hosts the Cool Worlds YouTube channel, with over half a million subscribers, that discusses his team's work and broader topics within the field. Cool worlds, cool guest, cool episode.

I have to confess something: I love challenges. And when you're a podcaster, what's a better challenge than dedicating an episode to… visualization? Impossible you say? Well, challenge accepted! Thankfully, I got the help of a visualization Avenger for this episode — namely, Matthew Kay. Matt is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in Computer Science and Communications Studies at Northwestern University, where he co-directs the Midwest Uncertainty Collective — I know, it's a pretty cool name for a lab. He works in human-computer interaction and information visualization, and especially in uncertainty visualization. He also builds tools to support uncertainty visualization in R. In particular, he's the author of the tidybayes and ggdist R packages, and wrote the random variable interface in the posterior package. I promise, you won't be uncertain about the importance of uncertainty visualization after that… Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Greg says our guest's book, “Bernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science” is “a bombshell in a sense,” making some very, very bold claims. Aubrey Clayton is an applied mathematical researcher, lecturer, and writer. He currently teaches graduate courses in the philosophy of probability at the Harvard Extension School, and has written for publications like the New York Times, Boston Globe, and Nautilus. Additionally, Aubrey says he technically “worked on Wall Street” but only in the same sense that a hot dog vendor does. Greg and Aubrey dive deep into the radical ideas behind Aubrey's book, the merits of the scientific method as a process, Bayesian Statistics, and the replication crisis in this conversation.Episode Quotes:Probability and informationWe have to come up with a form of probability that has all the mathematical properties that we want it to have. But that also is usable in the sense of, you know, applies to all these different settings where you need to assign probabilities to things. And I think that the answer probably has to do with information.The essence of Bernoulli's FallacyIt gets back to a desire to make probabilities observable and measurable in the form of frequency.Bernoulli's FallacyBernoulli's Fallacy is the idea that you can make good decisions about hypotheses, scientific hypotheses or statistical hypotheses, or just research theories in general, using the language of probabilities. But focusing entirely on probabilities that are oriented in the direction of: “if a hypothesis is true, then what is the probability of some observation or some data.”Show Links:Resources: Statistical Rethinking | Richard McElreathDaryl Bem Ronald Fisher Thomas Bayes Edwin Thompson JaynesP-valueGuest Profile:Professional Profile on Moody's AnalyticsAubrey Clayton WebsiteAubrey Clayton on LinkedInAubrey Clayton on TwitterAubrey Clayton on YoutubeHis Work:Aubrey Clayton's ArticlesBernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science

Folks, there are some new cool kids on the block. They are called PyMC, Aeppl, and Aesara, and it's high time we give us a proper welcome! To do that, who better than one of the architects of the new PyMC 4.0 — Ricardo Vieira! In this episode, he'll walk us through the inner workings of the newly released version of PyMC, telling us why the Aesara backend and the brand new RandomVariable operators constitute such strong foundations for your beloved PyMC models. He will also tell us about a self-contained PPL project called Aeppl, dedicated to converting model graphs to probability functions — pretty cool, right? Oh, in case you didn't guess yet, Ricardo is a PyMC developer and data scientist at PyMC Labs. He spent several years teaching himself Statistics and Computer Science at the expense of his official degrees in Psychology and Neuroscience. So, get ready for efficient random generator functions, better probability evaluation functions, and a fully-fledged modern Bayesian workflow!

I'm sure you've already heard of gravitational waves, because my listeners are the coolest and smartest ever ;) But did you know about gravity waves? That's right, waves in the sky due to gravity — sounds awesome, right? Well, I'm pretty sure that Laura Mansfield will confirm your prior. Currently a postdoc at Stanford University, Laura studies — guess what? — gravity waves and how they are represented in climate models. In particular, she uses Bayesian methods to estimate the uncertainty on the gravity wave components of the models. Holding a PhD from the University of Reading in the UK, her background is in atmospheric physics, but she's interested in climate change and environmental issues.

Inviting someone like Luciano Paz on a stats podcast is both a pleasure and a challenge — he does so many things brilliantly that you have too many questions to ask him… In this episode, I've chosen — not without difficulty — to focus on the applications of Bayesian stats in the marketing industry, especially Media Mix Models. Ok, I also asked Luciano about other topics — but you know me, I like to talk… Originally, Luciano studied physics. He then did a PhD and postdoc in neuroscience, before transitioning into industry. During his time in academia, he used stats, machine learning and data science concepts here and there, but not in a very organized way. But at the end of his postdoc, he got into PyMC — and that's when everything changed… He loved the community and decided to hop on board to exit academia into a better life. After leaving academia, he worked at a company that wanted to do data science but that, for privacy reasons, didn't have a lot of data. And now, Luciano is one of the folks working full time at the PyMC Labs consultancy. But Luciano is not only one of the cool nerds building this crazy Bayesian adventures.

We talk a lot about generative modeling on this podcast — at least since episode 6, with Michael Betancourt! And an area where this way of modeling is particularly useful is healthcare, as Maria Skoularidou will tell us in this episode. Maria is a final year PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Her thesis is focused on probabilistic machine learning and, more precisely, towards using generative modeling in… you guessed it: healthcare! But her fields of interest are diverse: from theory and methodology of machine intelligence to Bayesian inference; from theoretical computer science to information theory — Maria is knowledgeable in a lot of topics! That's why I also had to ask her about mixture models, a category of models that she uses frequently. Prior to her PhD, Maria studied Computer Science and Statistical Science at Athens University of Economics and Business. She's also invested in several efforts to bring more diversity and accessibility in the data science world. When she's not working on all this, you'll find her playing the ney, trekking or rawing.

The big problems with classic hypothesis testing are well-known. And yet, a huge majority of statistical analyses are still conducted this way. Why is it? Why are things so hard to change? Can you even do (and should you do) hypothesis testing in the Bayesian framework? I guess if you wanted to name this episode in a very Marvelian way, it would be “Bayes factors against the p-values of madness” — but we won't do that, it wouldn't be appropriate, would it? Anyways, in this episode, I'll talk about all these very light and consensual topics with Eric-Jan Wagenmakers, a professor at the Psychological Methods Unit of the University of Amsterdam. For almost two decades, EJ has staunchly advocated the use of Bayesian inference in psychology. In order to lower the bar for the adoption of Bayesian methods, he is coordinating the development of JASP, an open-source software program that allows practitioners to conduct state-of-the-art Bayesian analyses with their mouse — the one from the computer, not the one from Disney. EJ has also written a children's book on Bayesian inference with the title “Bayesian thinking for toddlers”. Rumor has it that he is also working on a multi-volume series for adults — but shhh, that's a secret! EJ's lab publishes regularly on a host of Bayesian topics, so check out his website, particularly when you are interested in Bayesian hypothesis testing. The same goes for his blog by the way, “BayesianSpectacles”. Wait, what's that? EJ is telling me that he plays chess, squash, and that, most importantly, he enjoys watching arm wrestling videos on YouTube — yet another proof that, yes, you can find everything on YouTube.

Guest: Dr. Peter Breggin. His latest book: “COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey” Dr. Breggin's other books THE THESIS: The injections have utterly failed . . . unless they were designed for something lese. But, the drive for “vaccine” passports continues and so called Republicans are on board with them. The fact is, there is a global push to lock people into a totalitarian system. Healthcare is the hook they are using for that and Covid has been force-multiplier. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. THE NEWS & COMMENT: On Friday, the CDC revised its covid risk formula. With this single change, the pandemic abruptly eased going from 90% of the United States in High-Risk Red to less than 30%. mRNA shots raise the risk of Covid infection in children under 12 VAERS - the federal side effects reporting system - has received more than 500 reports of life-threatening events, permanent disability,or deaths following mRNA shots in kids and adolescents. In the light of today's report that the jabs actually increase the risk of Covid infection in kids under 12 - and do little or nothing to reduce hospitalizations - I figured you might want to see what those reports actually look like. The New York Times hits a new Covid low on vaccines for kids, thanks to one Aubrey Clayton, PhD See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. This fault is not a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines. In an increasingly statistics-reliant society, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. The foundation of the problem is a misunderstanding of probability and its role in making inferences from observations. Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Clayton recounts the feuds among rival schools of statistics, exploring the surprisingly human problems that gave rise to the discipline and the all-too-human shortcomings that derailed it. He highlights how influential nineteenth- and twentieth-century figures developed a statistical methodology they claimed was purely objective in order to silence critics of their political agendas, including eugenics. Clayton provides a clear account of the mathematics and logic of probability, conveying complex concepts accessibly for readers interested in the statistical methods that frame our understanding of the world. He contends that we need to take a Bayesian approach--that is, to incorporate prior knowledge when reasoning with incomplete information--in order to resolve the crisis. Ranging across math, philosophy, and culture, Bernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science (Columbia UP, 2021) explains why something has gone wrong with how we use data--and how to fix it.

Let's be honest: evolution is awesome! I started reading Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution, by Jonathan Losos, and I'm utterly fascinated. So I'm thrilled to welcome Florian Hartig on the show. Florian is a professor of Theoretical Ecology at the University of Regensburg, Germany. His research concentrates on theory, computer simulations, statistical methods and machine learning in ecology & evolution. He is also interested in open science and open software development, and maintains, among other projects, the R packages DHARMa and BayesianTools. Among other things, we talked about approximate Bayesian computation, best practices when building models and the big pain points that remain in the Bayesian pipeline. Most importantly, Florian's main hobbies are whitewater kayaking, snowboarding, badminton and playing the guitar. Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

You know I love epistemology — the study of how we know what we know. It was high time I dedicated a whole episode to this topic. And what better guest than Aubrey Clayton, the author of the book Bernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science. I'm in the middle of reading it, and it's a really great read! Aubrey is a mathematician in Boston who teaches the philosophy of probability and statistics at the Harvard Extension School. He holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, and his writing has appeared in Pacific Standard, Nautilus, and the Boston Globe. We talked about what he deems “a catastrophic error in the logic of the standard statistical methods in almost all the sciences” and why this error manifests even outside of science, like in medicine, law, public policy, etc. But don't worry, we're not doomed — we'll also see where we go from there. As a big fan of E.T Jaynes, Aubrey will also tell us how this US scientist influenced his own thinking as well as the field of Bayesian inference in general. Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran). Check out his awesome work at https://bababrinkman.com/ (https://bababrinkman.com/) !
