Biography

Tracy Holsclaw is a statistical consultant (emphasis in Bayesian modeling) and data scientist with a Machine Learning background. She has worked to model data in both the private and public sector.  As an applied statistician, she has worked in a number of fields finding optimum solutions to many real world problems.  

Programming

Bayesian residual plot

I am making available some basic functions that I use often.  If you have a recommendation about how I coded something or find a bug, please leave a comment.  I write R packages with a mix of R functions and compiled C++ functions (Rcpp library) for speed/efficiency.  Code is not guarenteed to work, use at your own risk.
