.. warning::
   This is the legacy version of PyMC3, now renamed to PyMC.
   If you are looking for the latest version of PyMC, please visit
   `PyMC's documentation <https://www.pymc.io/welcome.html>`__
   

PyMC3 is a Python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and Probabilistic Machine Learning
focusing on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI)
algorithms. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a
large suite of problems.

Check out the `getting started guide <http://docs.pymc.io/notebooks/getting_started>`__,  or
`interact with live examples <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/pymc-devs/pymc3/master?filepath=%2Fdocs%2Fsource%2Fnotebooks>`__
using Binder!
For questions on PyMC3, head on over to our `PyMC Discourse <https://discourse.pymc.io/>`__ forum.

The future of PyMC3 & Theano
============================

There have been many questions and uncertainty around the future of PyMC3 since Theano
stopped getting developed by the original authors, and we started experiments with a PyMC version based on tensorflow probability.

Since then many things changed and we are happy to announce that PyMC3 will continue to rely on Theano,
or rather its successors Theano-PyMC (`pymc3 <4)` and Aesara (`pymc3 >=4`).
Check out <https://github.com/aesara-devs/aesara>`__) and specifically the latest developments on the `PyMC3 `main` branch <https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/>`.

Features
========

-  Intuitive model specification syntax, for example, ``x ~ N(0,1)``
   translates to ``x = Normal('x',0,1)``
-  **Powerful sampling algorithms**, such as the `No U-Turn
   Sampler <http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v15/hoffman14a.html>`__, allow complex models
   with thousands of parameters with little specialized knowledge of
   fitting algorithms.
-  **Variational inference**: `ADVI <http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v18/16-107.html>`__
   for fast approximate posterior estimation as well as mini-batch ADVI
   for large data sets.
-  Relies on `Theano-PyMC <https://theano-pymc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ which provides:
    *  Computation optimization and dynamic C or JAX compilation
    *  Numpy broadcasting and advanced indexing
    *  Linear algebra operators
    *  Simple extensibility
-  Transparent support for missing value imputation
