Summary

  • Adds Quarto RevealJS slide deck for the PyMC Labs internal talk (docs/dev/pymc_labs_talk.qmd)
  • Custom styling via talk_style.scss
  • .gitignore entries for Quarto render output (_files/, .html)

Talk structure

The talk walks through a single end-to-end example (training → skill → performance) demonstrating:

  1. DSL spec and model construction
  2. DAG visualisation and PyMC model introspection
  3. Equations and priors
  4. MCMC fitting
  5. Effects summary and path-specific effects
  6. ATE via the do-operator (g-computation)
  7. Interventional probability queries
  8. Sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding
  9. Identification checks and implied independence tests

Followed by a summary of additional capabilities (families, panel data, transforms, latent variables, simulation), a comparison table, and roadmap.

Rendering

conda activate pathmc
quarto render docs/dev/pymc_labs_talk.qmd

Test plan

  • Render slides locally and verify all executable cells produce output
  • Check slide flow and timing
  • Review comparison table for accuracy against current feature set

Made with Cursor

Revealjs slide deck (.qmd), custom theme (.scss), proposal, brainstorm
notes, and rendered figures for the upcoming PyMC Labs talk on pathmc.

Made-with: Cursor
- Replace 3 slides (likelihood families, panel/MMM, causal graph) with
  a single "And there's more" slide that teases breadth and links to docs
- Update "Where it's going" to remove already-shipped features
  (DAG comparison, latent variable support)
- Remove Quarto render output (figures, libs) from tracking; already
  covered by .gitignore
- Remove scaffolding files (presentation_brainstorm.md, talk_proposal.md)
