Squiggle

TagLast edit: 26 Nov 2022 15:14 UTC by brook

Squiggle is a special-purpose coding language for generating probability distributions, estimates of variables over time, and similar tasks. It was developed by the Quantified Uncertainty Research Institute.

Tutorials

The official basics guide[1] is a good written guide if you have experience programming and/​or have a specific project in mind already.

There’s also a few simple worked examples on the forum to demonstrate squiggle’s value[2], and a more complex model based on GiveWell’s cost effectiveness analyses[3].

Note that squiggle is still in development and has several known bugs[4].
