Bambi is a high-level Bayesian model-building interface written in Python. It works with the PyMC probabilistic programming framework. Bambi provides an interface to build and solve Bayesian generalized (non-)linear multivariate multilevel models.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Library features
edit- Model specification using a Wilkison-like formula style
- Bayesian inference using MCMC and Variational Inference methods
- Interface with ArviZ, as Bambi returns an InferenceData object
- Model interpretation via conditional adjusted comparisons, predictions, and slopes
- A wide array of response families
- Default priors that the users can modify if needed
