...Fit your model using gradient-based MCMC algorithms like NUTS, using ADVI for fast approximate inference — including minibatch-ADVI for scaling to large datasets, or using Gaussian processes to build Bayesian nonparametric models. PyMC3 includes a comprehensive set of pre-defined statistical distributions that can be used as model building blocks. Sometimes an unknown parameter or variable in a model is not a scalar value or a fixed-length vector, but a function. A Gaussian process (GP) can be used as a prior probability distribution whose support is over the space of continuous functions. ...

...It is a testbed for fast experimentation and research with probabilistic models, ranging from classical hierarchical models on small data sets to complex deep probabilistic models on large data sets. Edward fuses three fields, Bayesian statistics and machine learning, deep learning, and probabilistic programming. Edward is built on TensorFlow. It enables features such as computational graphs, distributed training, CPU/GPU integration, automatic differentiation, and visualization with TensorBoard. Expectation-Maximization, pseudo-marginal and ABC methods, and message passing algorithms.
