PyMC Bayesian Modeling
Overview
PyMC is a Python library for Bayesian statistical modeling and probabilistic programming. It provides an expressive syntax for defining probabilistic models and efficient inference via MCMC (NUTS) and variational methods (ADVI). This skill covers the full Bayesian modeling cycle from model specification through diagnostics, comparison, and prediction.
When to Use
- Estimating parameters with full uncertainty quantification (credible intervals, not just point estimates)
- Fitting hierarchical/multilevel models to grouped or nested data
- Performing prior and posterior predictive checks to validate model assumptions
- Comparing candidate models using information criteria (LOO-CV, WAIC)
- Building regression models (linear, logistic, Poisson) in a Bayesian framework
- Handling missing data or measurement error as latent parameters
- Modeling time series with autoregressive or random walk priors
- Generating posterior predictions for new observations with uncertainty bounds
- Use Stan/PyStan instead for compiled, more scalable Bayesian inference on large models; use statsmodels for frequentist statistical tests
Prerequisites
- Python packages:
pymc >= 5.0,arviz,numpy,matplotlib - Data: NumPy arrays or pandas DataFrames with numeric columns
- Environment: CPU sufficient for most models; GPU via JAX backend for large models
pip install pymc arviz numpy matplotlib
# Optional: JAX backend for GPU acceleration
pip install pymc[jax]
Quick Start
import pymc as pm
import arviz as az
import numpy as np
# Simulate data
np.random.seed(42)
X = np.random.randn(100)
y = 2.5 + 1.3 * X + np.random.randn(100) * 0.5
# Build and fit model
with pm.Model() as model:
alpha = pm.Normal("alpha", mu=0, sigma=5)
beta = pm.Normal("beta", mu=0, sigma=5)
sigma = pm.HalfNormal("sigma", sigma=1)
mu = alpha + beta * X
y_obs = pm.Normal("y_obs", mu=mu, sigma=sigma, observed=y)
idata = pm.sample(1000, tune=1000, chains=4, random_seed=42)
print(az.summary(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"]))
# Expected: alpha ~ 2.5, beta ~ 1.3, sigma ~ 0.5
Workflow
Step 1: Prepare Data
Standardize continuous predictors for better sampling efficiency. Use named coordinates for readable models and ArviZ integration.
import pymc as pm
import arviz as az
import numpy as np
# Load data
X = np.random.randn(200, 3) # 200 obs, 3 predictors
y = X @ np.array([1.0, -0.5, 0.3]) + np.random.randn(200) * 0.8
# Standardize predictors
X_mean, X_std = X.mean(axis=0), X.std(axis=0)
X_scaled = (X - X_mean) / X_std
# Define coordinates for named dimensions
coords = {
"predictors": ["var1", "var2", "var3"],
"obs_id": np.arange(len(y)),
}
print(f"Data shape: X={X_scaled.shape}, y={y.shape}")
Step 2: Define Model and Set Priors
Specify the model structure inside a pm.Model() context. Use weakly informative priors, dims for named dimensions, and HalfNormal or Exponential for scale parameters.
with pm.Model(coords=coords) as model:
# Priors — weakly informative, not flat
alpha = pm.Normal("alpha", mu=0, sigma=1)
beta = pm.Normal("beta", mu=0, sigma=1, dims="predictors")
sigma = pm.HalfNormal("sigma", sigma=1)
# Linear predictor
mu = alpha + pm.math.dot(X_scaled, beta)
# Likelihood
y_obs = pm.Normal("y_obs", mu=mu, sigma=sigma, observed=y, dims="obs_id")
# Inspect model variables
print(model.basic_RVs) # Lists: [alpha, beta, sigma, y_obs]
Step 3: Prior Predictive Check
Validate that priors produce plausible data ranges before fitting. Adjust priors if simulated data is unreasonable.
with model:
prior_pred = pm.sample_prior_predictive(samples=1000, random_seed=42)
# Check prior-implied data range
prior_y = prior_pred.prior_predictive["y_obs"].values.flatten()
print(f"Prior predictive range: [{prior_y.min():.1f}, {prior_y.max():.1f}]")
print(f"Observed data range: [{y.min():.1f}, {y.max():.1f}]")
az.plot_ppc(prior_pred, group="prior", num_pp_samples=100)
Step 4: Sample Posterior (MCMC)
Run NUTS sampling with multiple chains. Include log_likelihood=True if you plan model comparison later.
with model:
idata = pm.sample(
draws=2000,
tune=1000,
chains=4,
target_accept=0.9,
random_seed=42,
idata_kwargs={"log_likelihood": True},
)
print(f"Posterior shape: {idata.posterior['beta'].shape}")
# Expected: (4 chains, 2000 draws, 3 predictors)
Step 5: Diagnose Sampling
Check convergence before interpreting results. All three diagnostics (R-hat, ESS, divergences) must pass.
# Summary with convergence diagnostics
summary = az.summary(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
print(summary[["mean", "sd", "hdi_3%", "hdi_97%", "r_hat", "ess_bulk"]])
# R-hat convergence check
bad_rhat = summary[summary["r_hat"] > 1.01]
if len(bad_rhat) > 0:
print(f"WARNING: {len(bad_rhat)} parameters with R-hat > 1.01")
print(bad_rhat[["r_hat"]])
# Effective sample size check
low_ess = summary[summary["ess_bulk"] < 400]
if len(low_ess) > 0:
print(f"WARNING: {len(low_ess)} parameters with ESS < 400")
# Divergence check
n_div = idata.sample_stats.diverging.sum().item()
total = len(idata.posterior.draw) * len(idata.posterior.chain)
print(f"Divergences: {n_div}/{total} ({n_div / total * 100:.2f}%)")
# Visual diagnostics — trace plots and rank plots
az.plot_trace(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
az.plot_rank(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
Step 6: Posterior Predictive Check
Validate model fit by comparing simulated data from the posterior to observed data.
with model:
pm.sample_posterior_predictive(idata, extend_inferencedata=True, random_seed=42)
az.plot_ppc(idata, num_pp_samples=100)
# Blue = observed data, grey = posterior simulations
# Systematic deviations indicate model misspecification
Step 7: Compare Models
Use LOO-CV or WAIC to compare candidate models. Lower information criterion is better.
# Fit multiple models with log_likelihood=True, then compare
# Example: compare linear vs a second model
idatas = {"linear": idata} # add more fitted models here
comparison = az.compare(idatas, ic="loo")
print(comparison[["rank", "elpd_loo", "p_loo", "d_loo", "weight"]])
# Check LOO reliability via Pareto-k diagnostics
loo_result = az.loo(idata, pointwise=True)
high_k = (loo_result.pareto_k > 0.7).sum().item()
print(f"Observations with Pareto-k > 0.7: {high_k}")
# Interpretation: Dloo < 2 = similar models; Dloo > 10 = strong evidence
az.plot_compare(comparison)
Step 8: Generate Predictions
Produce posterior predictions for new data with full uncertainty propagation.
X_new = np.array([[0.5, -1.0, 0.2]])
X_new_scaled = (X_new - X_mean) / X_std
with model:
pm.set_data({"X_scaled": X_new_scaled})
post_pred = pm.sample_posterior_predictive(
idata.posterior, var_names=["y_obs"], random_seed=42
)
y_pred = post_pred.posterior_predictive["y_obs"]
print(f"Predicted mean: {y_pred.mean().item():.3f}")
print(f"94% HDI: {az.hdi(y_pred, hdi_prob=0.94).values}")

print(az.summary(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"]))
# Expected: alpha ~ 2.5, beta ~ 1.3, sigma ~ 0.5
```
## Workflow
### Step 1: Prepare Data
Standardize continuous predictors for better sampling efficiency. Use named coordinates for readable models and ArviZ integration.
```python
import pymc as pm
import arviz as az
import numpy as np
# Load data
X = np.random.randn(200, 3) # 200 obs, 3 predictors
y = X @ np.array([1.0, -0.5, 0.3]) + np.random.randn(200) * 0.8
# Standardize predictors
X_mean, X_std = X.mean(axis=0), X.std(axis=0)
X_scaled = (X - X_mean) / X_std

coords = {
"predictors": ["var1", "var2", "var3"],
"obs_id": np.arange(len(y)),
}
print(f"Data shape: X={X_scaled.shape}, y={y.shape}")
```
### Step 2: Define Model and Set Priors
Specify the model structure inside a `pm.Model()` context. Use weakly informative priors, `dims` for named dimensions, and `HalfNormal` or `Exponential` for scale parameters.
```python
with pm.Model(coords=coords) as model:
# Priors — weakly informative, not flat
alpha = pm.Normal("alpha", mu=0, sigma=1)
beta = pm.Normal("beta", mu=0, sigma=1, dims="predictors")
sigma = pm.HalfNormal("sigma", sigma=1)
# Linear predictor
mu = alpha + pm.math.dot(X_scaled, beta)
# Likelihood
y_obs = pm.Normal("y_obs", mu=mu, sigma=sigma, observed=y, dims="obs_id")
# Inspect model variables
print(model.basic_RVs) # Lists: [alpha, beta, sigma, y_obs]
```
### Step 3: Prior Predictive Check
Validate that priors produce plausible data ranges before fitting. Adjust priors if simulated data is unreasonable.
```python
with model:
prior_pred = pm.sample_prior_predictive(samples=1000, random_seed=42)
# Check prior-implied data range
prior_y = prior_pred.prior_predictive["y_obs"].values.flatten()
print(f"Prior predictive range: [{prior_y.min():.1f}, {prior_y.max():.1f}]")
print(f"Observed data range: [{y.min():.1f}, {y.max():.1f}]")
az.plot_ppc(prior_pred, group="prior", num_pp_samples=100)
```
### Step 4: Sample Posterior (MCMC)
Run NUTS sampling with multiple chains. Include `log_likelihood=True` if you plan model comparison later.
```python
with model:
idata = pm.sample(
draws=2000,
tune=1000,
chains=4,
target_accept=0.9,
random_seed=42,
idata_kwargs={"log_likelihood": True},
)
print(f"Posterior shape: {idata.posterior['beta'].shape}")
# Expected: (4 chains, 2000 draws, 3 predictors)
```
### Step 5: Diagnose Sampling
Check convergence before interpreting results. All three diagnostics (R-hat, ESS, divergences) must pass.
```python
# Summary with convergence diagnostics
summary = az.summary(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
print(summary[["mean", "sd", "hdi_3%", "hdi_97%", "r_hat", "ess_bulk"]])
# R-hat convergence check
bad_rhat = summary[summary["r_hat"] > 1.01]
if len(bad_rhat) > 0:
print(f"WARNING: {len(bad_rhat)} parameters with R-hat > 1.01")
print(bad_rhat[["r_hat"]])
# Effective sample size check
low_ess = summary[summary["ess_bulk"] < 400]
if len(low_ess) > 0:
print(f"WARNING: {len(low_ess)} parameters with ESS < 400")
# Divergence check
n_div = idata.sample_stats.diverging.sum().item()
total = len(idata.posterior.draw) * len(idata.posterior.chain)
print(f"Divergences: {n_div}/{total} ({n_div / total * 100:.2f}%)")
# Visual diagnostics — trace plots and rank plots
az.plot_trace(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
az.plot_rank(idata, var_names=["alpha", "beta", "sigma"])
```
### Step 6: Posterior Predictive Check
Validate model fit by comparing simulated data from the posterior to observed data.
```python
with model:
pm.sample_posterior_predictive(idata, extend_inferencedata=True, random_seed=42)
az.plot_ppc(idata, num_pp_samples=100)
# Blue = observed data, grey = posterior simulations
# Systematic deviations indicate model misspecification
```

Use LOO-CV or WAIC to compare candidate models. Lower information criterion is better.
```python
# Fit multiple models with log_likelihood=True, then compare
# Example: compare linear vs a second model
idatas = {"linear": idata} # add more fitted models here
comparison = az.compare(idatas, ic="loo")
print(comparison[["rank", "elpd_loo", "p_loo", "d_loo", "weight"]])
# Check LOO reliability via Pareto-k diagnostics
loo_result = az.loo(idata, pointwise=True)
high_k = (loo_result.pareto_k > 0.7).sum().item()
print(f"Observations with Pareto-k > 0.7: {high_k}")
# Interpretation: Dloo < 2 = similar models; Dloo > 10 = strong evidence
az.plot_compare(comparison)
```
### Step 8: Generate Predictions
Produce posterior predictions for new data with full uncertainty propagation.
```python
X_new = np.array([[0.5, -1.0, 0.2]])
X_new_scaled = (X_new - X_mean) / X_std
with model:
pm.set_data({"X_scaled": X_new_scaled})
post_pred = pm.sample_posterior_predictive(
idata.posterior, var_names=["y_obs"], random_seed=42
)
y_pred = post_pred.posterior_predictive["y_obs"]
print(f"Predicted mean: {y_pred.mean().item():.3f}")
print(f"94% HDI: {az.hdi(y_pred, hdi_prob=0.94).values}")
```
