The Approach

Sports is our dataset.
The skills are universal.

We use sports analytics as the engaging lens — because nothing teaches statistics, machine learning, and AI faster than a domain people care about. The same Bayesian models that evaluate athletes also price options, target customers, and diagnose patients. The same LLM workflows that scout prospects also power production AI everywhere data lives.

The skills transfer. The engagement is the unfair advantage.

Inside the Platform

Live instruction. Real work. Every week.

A 15-second look at what membership feels like.

Bayesian Fitness-Fatigue Modeling in Stan with Scott Spencer
This Week's Free Lesson

Bayesian modeling with Dr. Scott Spencer.

Bayesian Fitness-Fatigue Modeling in Stan. Live-code the Banister impulse-response model on real cycling power data — difference equations, informative priors from exercise science literature, Student-t likelihoods, posterior predictive checks. Taught by Scott Spencer (Columbia / Nottingham Forest F.C.). No signup. No email gate. Just the work.

What's Inside

Four pillars. One membership.

Everything you need to go from curious to production-ready.

1,000+
Async Lessons
R, Python, ML, Bayesian, App Development, Performance Science, and more. Each built by a practitioner who ships production code.
120+
Live Sessions / Year
Monthly masterclasses from pro front offices, R1 universities, and top consulting firms. Available on replay for 30 days after each session.
365
Days of Posit Workbench
Full year of enterprise cloud compute, Positron IDE, AI assistant, and Data Explorer. Same platform Fortune 500 data teams use.
20%
Off Every Workshop
Multi-day intensives and cohort programs with real data alongside expert instructors. Replays included with every workshop you attend.
Why a Membership

This field moves monthly.
Your training should too.

A Python ML course bought two years ago uses outdated pipelines. A Bayesian tutorial recorded last summer missed the latest PyMC release. Static purchases go stale. Membership keeps you current.

i.

Continuous content updates

New modules, techniques, and case studies shipped as the field evolves. LLM tooling, new PyMC releases, latest Shiny capabilities, Posit platform updates. Members see them the day they launch.

ii.

10+ live, moderated sessions monthly

Every session is two-way and staffed with a moderator. Ask questions in real-time Q&A, chat with peers and instructors, watch the work happen as it's coded. Members learn what's actually working in pro front offices right now — not what was working when a course was recorded.

iii.

Compound with your team

An analyst attends a masterclass, shares insights in Slack, and the whole team levels up. Individual course purchases don't create that flywheel. Membership does.

iv.

Always-current infrastructure

Enterprise Posit Workbench stays current with the platform. No local setup drift. No "works on my machine" debates. Everyone codes in the same managed environment.

Concrete Capabilities

What you'll actually be able to do.

Six months in, here's what members can build, ship, and defend in production.

i.

Ship production Shiny apps

Reactive dashboards, mobile-first interfaces, custom JavaScript bindings, Docker deployment. From prototype to production.

ii.

Write hierarchical Bayesian models

Partial pooling for player evaluation, posterior predictive checks, Stan and PyMC with diagnostics and uncertainty quantification.

iii.

Deploy ML pipelines with validation

Feature engineering, temporal train-test splits, calibration, monitoring. The same workflows running in pro front offices today.

iv.

Integrate LLMs into R and Python

Tool-calling with ellmer, RAG with ragnar, structured output extraction, production deployment. Modern AI infrastructure.

v.

Build analytics APIs and pipelines

Webscraping, SportsDataverse integration, production ETL, versioning, scheduled refresh. Clean data flowing into clean models.

vi.

Create publication-quality reports

Quarto, gt() tables, ggplot2, publication-ready visualizations. Stakeholder-ready deliverables that actually get read.

For Analytics Teams

Built for teams that take training seriously.

One membership for the whole team. Full catalog, year-round live programming, enterprise tools, unified learning paths. The data training stack that compounds quarter over quarter.

Year-round live programming

120+ masterclasses per year means your team stays current without you having to build a training program. Point them at the schedule and they level up.

Unified technical language

Everyone learns from the same practitioners using the same workflows. No more analyst silos with different conventions.

Mixed seat configurations

Senior analysts on Team Pro with Posit Workbench. Junior staff on Team without. Pay for what each seat needs.

Enterprise infrastructure

Posit Workbench (Pro tier) means your team codes in managed cloud environments. No IT tickets, no local config drift.
