"Is it possible to make statistical inference broadly accessible to
non-statisticians without sacrificing mathematical rigor or inference
quality?
BayesDB is a probabilistic programming platform that enables users to
query the probable implications of their data as directly as SQL
databases enable them to query the data itself.
The default
modeling assumptions that BayesDB makes are suitable for a broad class
of problems, but statisticians can customize these assumptions when
necessary. BayesDB also enables domain experts that lack statistical
expertise to perform qualitative model checking and encode simple forms
of qualitative prior knowledge.
The Bayesian Query Lanuage (BQL) allows analysts and domain experts to
interact perform Bayesian data analysis without requiring a detailed
understanding of model implementation. That means queries can
be articulated before models have been build, and models can be
improved and optimized without invalidating existing queries.
The Meta-modeling Language (MML) enables machine
assisted modeling for populations based on samples and domain
insight. By specifying population schemas and also by using the MML,
domain experts can encode qualitative prior knowledge and control the
behavior of BayesDB's built-in model building engine."
