Learning Bayesian Statistics

183 episodes

Are you a researcher or data scientist / analyst / ninja? Do you want to learn Bayesian inference, stay up to date or simply want to understand what Bayesian inference is?

Then this podcast is for you! You'll hear from researchers and practitioners of all fields about how they use Bayesian statistics, and how in turn YOU can apply these methods in your modeling workflow.

When I started learning Bayesian methods, I really wished there were a podcast out there that could introduce me to the methods, the projects and the people who make all that possible.

So I created "Learning Bayesian Statistics", where you'll get to hear how Bayesian statistics are used to detect black matter in outer space, forecast elections or understand how diseases spread and can ultimately be stopped. But this show is not only about successes -- it's also about failures, because that's how we learn best.

So you'll often hear the guests talking about what *didn't* work in their projects, why, and how they overcame these challenges. Because, in the end, we're all lifelong learners!

My name is Alex Andorra by the way. By day, I'm a Senior data scientist. By night, I don't (yet) fight crime, but I'm an open-source enthusiast and core contributor to the python packages PyMC and ArviZ. I also love Nutella, but I don't like talking about it – I prefer eating it.

So, whether you want to learn Bayesian statistics or hear about the latest libraries, books and applications, this podcast is for you -- just subscribe! You can also support the show and unlock exclusive Bayesian swag on Patreon!

Takeaways:

  • Bayesian mindset in psychology: Why priors, model checking, and full uncertainty reporting make findings more honest and useful.
  • Intermittent fasting & cognition: A Bayesian meta-analysis suggests effects are context- and age-dependent – and often small but meaningful.
  • Framing matters: The way we frame dietary advice (focus, flexibility, timing) can shape adherence and perceived cognitive benefits.
  • From cravings to choices: Appetite, craving, stress, and mood interact to influence eating and cognitive performance throughout the day.
  • Define before you measure: Clear definitions (and DAGs to encode assumptions) reduce ambiguity and guide better study design.
  • DAGs for causal thinking: Directed acyclic graphs help separate hypotheses from data pipelines and make causal claims auditable.
  • Small effects, big implications: Well-estimated “small” effects can scale to public-health relevance when decisions repeat daily.
  • Teaching by modeling: Helping students write models (not just run them) builds statistical thinking and scientific literacy.
  • Bridging lab and life: Balancing careful experiments with real-world measurement is key to actionable health-psychology insights.
  • Trust through transparency: Openly communicating assumptions, uncertainty, and limitations strengthens scientific credibility.
