The (very) basics of Turing.jl

I found myself thinking about using Turing.jl to develop a simple classifier for scRNA-Seq data, so I thought it probably would be helpful to write up a simple demo highlighting how the package works.¹

using Turing
using StatsPlots
using Random

Random.seed!(42);

Turing.jl is a package for probabilistic modeling and bayesian inference in Julia. If you don’t have a formal background in ML or statistics (like me) this might be a bit intimidating, but if you are already working with data science packages and want to get more into modeling using MCMC, Turing seems like a great place to start.
