As a bonus, I will occasionally post Notebooks where you can interactively play around with some Bayesian analyses. I will use a new type of notebook system called Pluto in the Julia programming language. The advantage of Pluto is that it is reactive: changing one variable in the notebook immediately updates the parts of the notebook that depend on the variable.
Here is what you need to do to access this bonus feature:
- Download Julia and install it.
- Start up Julia to get the
julia>prompt where you can type commands. - Install and start Pluto by typing in the following commands at the
julia>promptusing Pkg # initializes the package manager
Pkg.add("Pluto") # installs the Pluto package.
