Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[D] Programming language for developing computational statistics algorithms
I wouldn't overlook also how many goodies these existing PPLs are coming with. Starting from scratch means that one would have code up all the utilities to assess convergence, chain properties, etc. etc. on their own. And more advanced tricks like auto-differentiations that by themselves are huge perks are also unavailable (goodbye easy ADVI). For example PyMC, now uses Numba and JAX (via Aesara/PyTensor depending on your version), so theoretically (and practically) you can include arbitary PyTensor/JAX code in your model. I use PyMC as an example here, but this extends to most other PPLs too depending on their backends.

Show HN: Designing Bridges with PyTorch
Mostly I use pytorch for statistical modeling https://pyro.ai . Under the hood that package uses a lot of Monte Carlo integration and variational methods (i.e. integration by optimization). It does support neural nets, but probably >80% of pyro users stick to simpler hierarchical Bayesian models.

[P] torchegranate: a PyTorch rewrite of the pomegranate library for probabilistic modeling
Can you compare this to Pyro, which is also built on top of PyTorch?
- [Q] Updated book or review paper on MCMC methods
- Is anyone here working in uncertainty estimation in neural networks?
-
[D] Do you train and deploy models using just one framework or multiple frameworks at work?
Using pyod, statmodels, scikit-learn, Tensorflow and pyro.ai (that is using PyTorch as backend). I always use the same framework for training and for production.
What are some alternatives?
