Variational Bayes Tutorials

These pages bring together a set of tutorials and interactive exercises on Analytic and Stochastic Variational Bayes for timeseries model fitting.

The code samples provided complement the tutorial documents and are best run in conjunction with reading the relevant parts of the documents. They are provided in two forms: standalone Python code and Jupyter notebooks.

All code requires Numpy to be installed, the Stochastic VB code also requires TensorFlow v1 or v2.
