Conjugate Bayesian linear regression and distribution models in Python..

Project description

Conjugate Bayesian Models

Last update: June 2019.


Lightweight Python library implementing a few conjugate Bayesian models. For details on the derivations see [1].

pip3 install conjugate-bayes

We support the following:

To fit distribution models

  • Beta-Bernoulli
  • Gamma-Poisson
  • Normal-Inverse-Gamma

To fit regression models

  • Linear regression with Normal Inverse-Gamma prior
  • Linear regression with Zellner's g-prior

Future work

  • Dirichlet-Multinomial
  • Normal-Inverse-Wishart

Usage

Below we show an example fitting a simple Bayesian linear regression with unknown beta and unknown variance.

model = NIGLinearRegression(mu=np.zeros(2), v=100*np.eye(2), a=0.5, b=0.5)
model.fit(x_tr, y_tr)

sigma2 = model.get_marginal_sigma2()
beta = model.get_conditional_beta(sigma2=sigma2.mean())

The above example results in the following prediction intervals.
