BAyesian Model Building Interface in Python

Bambi

BAyesian Model-Building Interface in Python

Overview

Bambi is a high-level Bayesian model-building interface written in Python. It's built on top of the PyMC3 probabilistic programming framework, and is designed to make it extremely easy to fit mixed-effects models common in social sciences settings using a Bayesian approach.

Installation

Bambi requires a working Python interpreter (3.7+). We recommend installing Python and key numerical libraries using the Anaconda Distribution, which has one-click installers available on all major platforms.

Assuming a standard Python environment is installed on your machine (including pip), Bambi itself can be installed in one line using pip:

pip install bambi

Alternatively, if you want the bleeding edge version of the package you can install from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/bambinos/bambi.git

Dependencies

Bambi requires working versions of numpy, pandas, matplotlib, patsy, pymc3, and theano. Dependencies are listed in requirements.txt, and should all be installed by the Bambi installer; no further action should be required.
