PRACTICAL BAYESIAN DATA ANALYSIS
11th - 13th July 2005
This course is aimed at statisticians, and other data analysts, who wish to
learn how to analyse their data using WinBUGS.
Although the emphasis is on practical methods of data analysis, concepts of
Bayesian inference are introduced and MCMC methods are explained. The
course provides ample opportunity for hands-on practical work using WinBUGS
and R. No prior knowledge of either is assumed. Starting from simple
models, a Bayesian modelling framework is developed covering hierarchical
models, models for binary response and ordered categorical data, survival
analysis and other applications. The course also covers MCMC diagnostics
and methods of model checking and selection.
