Bambi is a high-level Bayesian model-building interface written in Python. It works with the PyMC probabilistic programming framework. Bambi provides an interface to build and solve Bayesian generalized (non-)linear multivariate multilevel models.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Bambi is an open source project, developed by the community and is an affiliated project of NumFOCUS.
Etymology
[edit]Bambi is an acronym for BAyesian Model-Building Interface.
Library features
[edit]- Model specification using a Wilkison-like formula style
- Bayesian inference using MCMC and Variational Inference methods
- Interface with ArviZ, as Bambi returns an InferenceData object
- Model interpretation via conditional adjusted comparisons, predictions, and slopes
- A wide array of response families
- Default priors that the users can modify if needed
