New course

Explore Bayesian Statistics online. Learn probability, inference, modeling, and more. Ideal for foundational studies in Statistics.

Course Description

Discover the foundations of Bayesian Statistics with this extensive online course. Dive into the core concepts and principles, starting with the basics of probability and Bayes' rule. Understand Bayesian inference, exploring both discrete and continuous priors and learning to update these priors effectively.

Engage in comprehensive labs and exercises designed to reinforce learning and practical application. The course covers various crucial topics such as Bayesian inference for proportions and means, exploring continuous priors and the Gamma-Poisson conjugacy. Experience hands-on learning with Monte Carlo approximations and delve into advanced concepts like the Gibbs sampler, MCMC diagnostics, and Bayesian hierarchical modeling.

The course also introduces MCMC simulations using JAGS, providing practical insights into statistical modeling and analysis. Gain proficiency in Bayesian linear regression, including multiple linear regression, and learn how to implement Bayesian methods in real-world case studies. Extend your knowledge with video introductions on Bayesian methods as applied in diverse fields, from ecological research to economic analysis and sports statistics.

Benefit from a series of intros and poster presentations that showcase various applications and recent advancements in Bayesian methodology. Enhance your understanding further with guest lectures and a project-driven approach to learning.

This course is part of the Basic Studies category under Statistics, ideal for those looking to build a solid foundation in Bayesian Statistics.
