Bayesian Regression
This module contains an implementation of Bayesian Regression, a probabilistic approach to linear regression that provides uncertainty estimates for predictions.
Overview
Bayesian Regression is an extension of traditional linear regression that models the distribution of coefficients, allowing for uncertainty in the model parameters. It's particularly useful when dealing with limited data and provides a full probability distribution over the possible values of the regression coefficients.
Usage
To use Bayesian Regression, follow these steps:
- Import the
BayesianRegression
class. - Create an instance of the class.
- Fit the model to your training data using the
fit
method. - Make predictions using the
predict
method.
Example:
from BayesianRegression import BayesianRegression
blr_model = BayesianRegression()
blr_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
predictions, uncertainties = blr_model.predict(X_test)
Parameters
alpha
: Prior precision for the coefficients.beta
: Precision of the noise in the observations.
