This notebook includes two examples showing how to use BART in PyMC and also some intuition about how BART works. I tried to keep it light on the technical details related to BART and focus more on its practical features. But I am opne to add further details explaining BART itself or maybe regression trees or whatever you think is necessary to improve the notebook.

Some references are still missing (I will add them soon as part of this PR), at least the seminal bart paper should be linked and also our upcoming CRC press has a chapter about BART (although with the old implementation).

Also I am working with others on an ArxiV preprint that will work as "extended documentation" of BART with more technical details of our particular implementation of bart and it sampler and also more examples to show strength and limitations of BART and the PyMC implementation. Also in future PRs I will like to add one or two more BART notebooks showing other uses and examples.

Given that we have a new release this should be ready to merge.

It needs to be executed with the new release though. Otherwise the watermark will say beta1 and this notebook won't run on beta1, only >=beta2
