Turing.jl
Expressive
Turing models are easy to write and communicate — their syntax closely resembles mathematical notation.
General-purpose
Turing supports models with discrete parameters and stochastic control flow.
Composable
Turing is written entirely in Julia, and is interoperable with its powerful ecosystem.
Hello, World in Turing
Some text about how easy it is to get going.
@model function coinflip(; N::Int)
# Prior belief about the probability of heads
p ~ Beta(1, 1)
# Heads or tails of a coin are drawn from `N`
# Bernoulli distributions with success rate `p`
y ~ filldist(Bernoulli(p), N)
end;
Goodbye, World in Turing
Some text about how easy it is to interface with external packages like AbstractGPs. Learn more about modelling Gaussian Processes with Turing.jl.
@model function putting_model(d, n; jitter=1e-4)
v ~ Gamma(2, 1)
l ~ Gamma(4, 1)
f = GP(v * with_lengthscale(SEKernel(), l))
f_latent ~ f(d, jitter)
binomials = Binomial.(n, logistic.(f_latent))
y ~ product_distribution(binomials)
return (fx=f(d, jitter), f_latent=f_latent, y=y)
