Overview
-
Bayesian approach is becoming increasingly popular in all fields of data analysis, including but not limited to epidemiology, ecology, economics, and political sciences. It also plays an increasingly important role in data mining and deep learning.
This program provides a practical introduction to applied Bayesian data analysis, combining theory, philosophy and computational facility with the emphasis on formulating and answering real life questions. The two courses provide a broad overview of the fundamentals of Bayesian inference via clear practical examples and may serve as a stepping stone towards any other, more specialized, topic in Bayesian statistics.
