BAyesian Model-Building Interface in Python
Overview
Bambi is a high-level Bayesian model-building interface written in Python. It's built on top of the PyMC probabilistic programming framework, and is designed to make it extremely easy to fit mixed-effects models common in social sciences settings using a Bayesian approach.
Installation
Bambi requires a working Python interpreter (3.10+). We recommend installing Python and key numerical libraries using the Anaconda Distribution, which has one-click installers available on all major platforms.
Assuming a standard Python environment is installed on your machine (including pip), Bambi itself can be installed in one line using pip:
pip install bambi
Alternatively, if you want the bleeding edge version of the package you can install from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/bambinos/bambi.git
Dependencies
Bambi requires working versions of ArviZ, formulae, NumPy, pandas and PyMC. Dependencies are listed in pyproject.toml and should all be installed by the Bambi installer; no further action should be required.
Examples
In the following two examples we assume the following basic setup
python
import arviz as az
import bambi as bmb
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
Linear regression
A simple fixed effects model is shown in the example below.
```python
Read in a dataset from the package content
data = bmb.load_data("sleepstudy")
See first rows
data.head()
Initialize the fixed effects only model
model = bmb.Model('Reaction ~ Days', data)
Get model description
print(model)
Fit the model using 1000 on each chain
results = model.fit(draws=1000)
Key summary and diagnostic info on the model parameters
az.summary(results)
Use ArviZ to plot the results
az.plot_trace(results)
Reaction Days Subject

2 250.8006 2 308
3 321.4398 3 308
4 356.8519 4 308
Formula: Reaction ~ Days
Family: gaussian
Link: mu = identity
Observations: 180

```
First, we create and build a Bambi Model. Then, the method model.fit() tells the sampler to start
running and it returns an InferenceData object, which can be passed to several ArviZ functions
such as az.summary() to get a summary of the parameters distribution and sample diagnostics or
az.plot_trace() to visualize them.
Logistic regression
In this example we will use a simulated dataset created as shown below.
python
data = pd.DataFrame({
"g": np.random.choice(["Yes", "No"], size=50),
"x1": np.random.normal(size=50),
"x2": np.random.normal(size=50)
})
Here we just add the family argument set to "bernoulli" to tell Bambi we are modelling a binary
response. By default, it uses a logit link. We can also use some syntax sugar to specify which event
we want to model. We just say g['Yes'] and Bambi will understand we want to model the probability
of a "Yes" response. But this notation is not mandatory. If we use "g ~ x1 + x2", Bambi will
pick one of the events to model and will inform us which one it picked.
python
model = bmb.Model("g['Yes'] ~ x1 + x2", data, family="bernoulli")
fitted = model.fit()
After this, we can evaluate the model as before.
