Do you know of any learning resources for understanding model checking or Posterior Predictive checks?

Hi !
I’m looking for videos, notebooks or anything else that will help me understand this part of pymc3. I’m not looking for something dense, if it’s intuitive it’s good enough.

Thankyou

See examples_notebooks — PyMC3 3.10.0 documentation for a lot of good examples. Most relevant to your question is this one: Prior and Posterior Predictive Checks — PyMC3 3.10.0 documentation

I also wrote a blog post focused on loo_pit (which is a specific algorithm for posterior predictive checking) that shows with simple examples the most common issues that can be detected with posterior predictive checks. All examples have both loo_pit and ppc plots (as you can see in the teaser image below)
