Description

I coded this up a while ago, pretty simple model but I think it's an interesting (and commonly referred to) model: https://gist.github.com/twiecki/713cf58f5fa37332d0cda48a7c798016

Probably just needs some more text and explanation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Take the existing code from the gist (https://gist.github.com/twiecki/713cf58f5fa37332d0cda48a7c798016) and integrate it into a Jupyter notebook with step by step explanations. Ensure the notebook runs end to end and includes clear comments and markdown cells explaining the Probabilistic PCA model, its implementation in PyMC, and how to interpret the results.
