        PyMC (formerly PyMC3) is a Python package for Bayesian statistical modeling
        focusing on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI)
        algorithms. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a
        large suite of problems.
        
        Check out the `PyMC overview <https://docs.pymc.io/en/latest/learn/core_notebooks/pymc_overview.html>`__,  or
        one of `the many examples <https://docs.pymc.io/projects/examples/en/latest/>`__!
        For questions on PyMC, head on over to our `PyMC Discourse <https://discourse.pymc.io/>`__ forum.
        
        Features
        ========
        
        -  Intuitive model specification syntax, for example, ``x ~ N(0,1)``
           translates to ``x = Normal('x',0,1)``
        -  **Powerful sampling algorithms**, such as the `No U-Turn
           Sampler <http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v15/hoffman14a.html>`__, allow complex models
           with thousands of parameters with little specialized knowledge of
           fitting algorithms.
        -  **Variational inference**: `ADVI <http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v18/16-107.html>`__
           for fast approximate posterior estimation as well as mini-batch ADVI
           for large data sets.
        -  Relies on `Aesara <https://aesara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ which provides:
            *  Computation optimization and dynamic C or JAX compilation
            *  NumPy broadcasting and advanced indexing
            *  Linear algebra operators
            *  Simple extensibility
        -  Transparent support for missing value imputation
