PolarBayes¶

PolarBayes is a Python package for converting Bayesian inference output into "tidy data" format dataframes.

It aims to be a spiritual Python port of the tidybayes package for the R and tidyverse ecosystem. It substitutes polars for the tidyverse and xarray DataTree objects created in and used by ArviZ) for posterior::draws_df objects.
