New families in Bambi
In this third post about my work during this Google Summer of Code I describe two families of models recently added. The first one, is the Student T family, used to make linear regressions more robust. The second, is the Beta family which can be used to model ratings and proportions.
I’m very happy I could contribute with many exciting changes to Bambi. Some changes, such as the reorganization of the default priors and built-in families, are not visible to the user but make the codebase more modular and easier to read. Other changes, such as the ones I’m going to describe here, have a direct impact on what you can do with Bambi.
