Prior specification is one of the hardest tasks in Bayesian modeling.
In our new paper, we (Florence Bockting, @stefanradev.bsky.social and me) develop a method for expert prior elicitation using generative neural networks and simulation-based learning. …

Just coming back from an interdisciplinary retreat, and it's kind of crazy how many different ways there are to write down the same linear regression problem.

It feels that the longer I do statistics, the harder it becomes. I never get an analysis just "right". There is always one more assumption to change or one more term to add to my model.

I am not usually a fan boy of anything, but I must say the new Linkin Park album makes me feel weirdly excited! A lot of good teenage memories come to mind.

brms book update: I have added a new chapter on generalized linear multilevel models (GLMMs). See https://paulbuerkner.com/software/brms-book/ for the latest draft of the book. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Our Python library BayesFlow implements methods for amortized Bayesian inference. You first train a neural network on simulated data. Then you obtain posterior inference on any real data almost instantly. Check out the dev branch for our new backend and…

The more senior I become in the academic system, the less time I have to actually do research. Which is kind of sad. I wonder how people deal with this increasing distance from the actually exciting stuff?
