Target audience
****
This two-day workshop will provide attendees with a friendly, gentle introduction
to the theory behind Bayesian hypothesis testing. The possibilities of practical
Bayesian hypothesis testing using JASP will be illustrated with concrete examples.
At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to carry out statistical
analyses in JASP, interpret the output, and report the results. Our examples are general
and the proposed methodology applies across the empirical disciplines (e.g., psychology,
sociology, biology, economics, etc.).
****
Summary
****
In this workshop, plenary lectures provide the theoretical background
of Bayesian statistics and Bayesian hypothesis testing; in addition,
practical exercises demonstrate how the JASP program is applied to
to a wide range of common statistical scenarios. This workshop provides
an appreciation for the theoretical foundations that underlie Bayesian hypothesis
testing, but its main goal is to teach participants the practical skills needed
in order to execute and report Bayesian analyses for the models that form the bread-and-butter
of statistical inference: t-tests, correlations, regression, ANOVA, and contingency tables.
****
Course contents
****
The workshop is taught by Eric-Jan Wagenmakers, Richard Morey, Jonathon
Love, Maarten Marsman, Tahira Jamil, Alexander Ly, Dora Matzke, Michael Lee, Helen
