SUMMER SCHOOL IN BAYESIAN MODELING AND VARIABLE SELECTION USING WINBUGS & R
***************************************************************************
http://stat-athens.aueb.gr/~athens-meeting-stats/winbugs_2015/
Dates: 22-23 June 2015. Duration: 2 days (accommodation for 3 nights is
recommended).
Organized by: Athens University of Economics and Business & National
Technical University of Athens
Location: Athens, Greece.
Venue: Athens University of Economics and Business
Early Registration Fees (before 1st of May 2015): 75 Euros (for
students), 125 Euros (for academics), 300 Euros (for professionals).
Tutors:
Prof. David Draper, University of California, Santa Cruz.
Dr. Dimitris Fouskakis, National Technical University of Athens.
Dr. Ioannis Ntzoufras, Athens University of Economics and Business.
This course is suitable for:
1) MSc. students in Statistics (and related fields),
2) academics, researchers and Ph.D. students in Statistics (and related
fields) or any other scientific areas (such as medicine, biology,
genetics, actuarial science),
3) professionals, data analysts and non-academic quantitative scientists,
who wish to introduce themselves in Applied Bayesian statistics via
WinBUGS software and the basic principles of Bayesian variable selection
(via both WinBUGS and R) for several reasons such as teaching, research,
data analysis of complex data, validation or comparison of their results
etc.
