Propose example notebook on Bayesian Power Analysis

Open drbenvincent opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Notebook proposal

Title: Bayesian Power Analysis

Why should this notebook be added to pymc-examples?

As pointed out in #349, we don't have anything currently on hypothesis testing, and nothing (nearly nothing?) on decision making. Filling this gap in the topic coverage would be good.

The notebook could go into a new category of "Hypothesis Testing" or the existing "How to" category.

PS This issue was inspired by the proposal by @cetagostini to bring Bayesian Power Analysis to CasusalPy

Suggested categories:

  • Level: Beginner or intermediate

Related notebooks

I don't believe there would be any overlap or redundancy caused by adding this. However the proposed notebook might be grouped in with one on hypothesis testing (see #349) and with currently WIP PR #477 on decision utility functions.
