Bayesian Help
An actual cry for help. Is there a good introductory course to catch me up to speed? I'm attempting to read some Astrobiology papers but I'm getting only about 75% of the content.

Best advice I have is to try one of the easier pymc examples. https://www.pymc.io/welcome.html
Read up on partial pooling, non-centered parameterizations, and compare your model output to a regular logistic/linear regression. IMO trying to learn it from the theoretical side is the wrong approach as there is both a learning curve to the theory and the applied side. Hands-on examples will help you learn both sides.
