1/ Bayesian inference is a powerful statistical framework that allows us to estimate the probability distribution of parameters based on data and prior knowledge. And R has a variety of packages for implementing Bayesian analysis! #rstats #datascience #Bayesian

2/ First up, there's 'rstan', which provides R interfaces to the popular Stan modeling language. It includes a suite of powerful algorithms for Bayesian inference, including Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling and Variational Bayes (VB). #rstats #stan

3/ Another popular R package for Bayesian analysis is 'JAGS', which stands for Just Another Gibbs Sampler. It's an alternative to Stan that uses a different MCMC algorithm, and can be easier to use for some types of models. #rstats #JAGS
