Why do women outlive men by 12 years in some countries but only 2 in others? @AllenDowney breaks it down with Bayesian counterfactual modeling, live at @_odsc East, April 30.
#ODSC2026#PyMC#BayesianStats
The Bayesian model estimates each team's true strength three inputs:
- Run differential
- Modeled win probability (xWins)
- Actual win/loss result
2025 season data sets the baseline (ie prior), then 2026 results update it. I simulate all remaining games 50,000 times drawing each team's strength from the posterior distribution.
Currently the model is still mostly informed by 2025 data.

Thank you for sharing!
Indeed! The FDA`s long-awaited guidance on "Use of Bayesian Methodology in Clinical Trials of Drug and Biological Products" will be a game-changer for biostatistics and drug development! It should and will open doors to smarter, more efficient trials.
The success of adopting Bayesian methodology will depend on educational measures during graduate and postgraduate studies to build foundational expertise, along with other key factors such as regulatory clarity and acceptance, accessible software and computational tools, overcoming traditional frequentist biases, and strong collaboration among statisticians, clinicians, and regulators.
Can't wait to dive deeper and see how it accelerates innovation. What are your thoughts, @f2harrell?

🚀 The 3rd edition of Bayesian Data Analysis in R is underway!
A great chance to learn Bayes from Prof. @meanwhileina (Uni Tübingen) through hands-on exercises and real-world applications—building confidence in Bayesian regression models. 🔥📊 #BayesianStats#RStats
Ifá divination isn’t just spirituality—it’s Bayesian inference meets Markov chains. 🔮 Each cast updates beliefs (Bayes), and the next step depends only on the present state (Markov). Sounds like AI reasoning? Yoruba wisdom was ahead all along. 🤯

Frequentists treat the null hypothesis like Schrödinger’s cat—alive or dead. Bayesians know it’s just a probability distribution.
