So, for those who are interested in following along. Like many things these days, I’ve been derailed a bit by COVID. Specifically I have a lot of friends and family who want to know what the latest info is on the COVID epidemic, and I was making some PDFs by hand and putting them on my blog each week or so, but I figured, hey, why not give them julia notebooks they can interact with… And I managed to get that into binder etc, It’s been educational, but it’s a work in progress and not very tutorial-like really. In particular I don’t have a discussion document for the COVID stuff because it’s still a work in progress.
I’d like to do a tutorial in which I use Turing to build a Bayesian model of something interesting. Here’s your chance to influence that. What would you like to see modeled? Requirements are:
- Publicly available dataset, prefer something not too enormous. Must be an easily readable format (CSV for example). It could involve integrating data from two public sources.
- Model shouldn’t require tons of moving parts (so for example the COVID epidemic while very interesting, is a very challenging field, so it’s out). Also shouldn’t be trivially simple (something you could do fine with GLM and a linear or logistic regression with a point estimate).
- Should be a topic I have some familiarity with: Economics, Biology, Healthcare, Mechanics/Physics, Civil and Environmental Engineering would be good candidates.
Thoughts?
