I wanted to learn how MCMC methods work. Does LAFP have something in that area?

Unfortenatly, no. Although LA is a kind of prerequisite for anything related to ML and vectorized computations, MCMC is out of scope of LAFP.

Joined the Patreon nevertheless...

Prerequisite is good enough reason for me to show my 2 cents of support for the awesome libraries and content 🙂

On the bright side, i do plan a Bayesian data analysis book. It just has to wait for the completion of the first edition of DLFP and LAFP.

Do you recommend any resources in the meanwhile?

blueberry22:09:54

Yes! Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, 2nd Ed. Statistical Rethinking is also a good choice. Both in R unfortunately, but the prose is superb.

I was studying Bayadera's source, but kinda cryptic mostly because I don't understand the relevant maths yet.
