As a pedagogical exercise, here we generate our own Python library and script translations of the R in the second edition of 'Statistical Rethinking' by Richard McElreath (see here.

I'll try to avoid using too many unfamiliar (to me) libraries such as PyMC, to ensure I understand what they're doing. Focus will be on clean and well-documented code without too much magic. The original R code can be found here.

The project structure is inspired by cookiecutter-ds and https://github.com/cthoyt/cookiecutter-snekpack, and faintly by DS from scratch by Joel Grus.

Side note: this book is superbly written.

Other side note: once I've finished all the exercises and notebooks I'll look at the official PyMC port which will demonstrate how the pros do it.
