Talk Abstract
Have you ever written a model in PyMC3 and aren’t sure if it’s any good? In this talk I will show you the many ways you can evaluate how will your model fits your data using PyMC3. Not all these techniques may be applicable for your particular problem but you will definitely walk away with a few new tricks for being confident in the models you fit

Rob Zinkov is a PhD student at University of Oxford. My research covers how to more efficiently specify and train deep generative models as well as how to more effectively discover a good statistical model for your data. Previously I was a research scientist at Indiana University where I was the lead developer of the Hakaru probabilistic programming language.
This is a PyMCon 2020 talk

PyMCon is an asynchronous-first virtual conference for the Bayesian community.
We have posted all the talks here in Discourse on October 24th, one week before the live PyMCon session for everyone to see and discuss at their own pace.
If you are available on October 31st you can register for the live session here!, but if you are not don’t worry, all the talks are already available here on Discourse (keynotes will be posted after the conference) and you can network here on Discourse and on our Zulip.
We value the participation of each member of the PyMC community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the conference and at all conference events. Everyone taking part in PyMCon activities must abide by the PyMCon Code of Conduct. You can report any incident through this from.
If you want to support PyMCon and the PyMC community but you can’t attend the live session, consider donating to PyMC
