Advanced Bayesian Modelling with BUGS
MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge, UK, 18-19 May 2016
This course is designed for statisticians who want to improve their
command of the BUGS modelling software, in any of its forms. We will
assume a previous knowledge of BUGS to the level of our companion course
"Introduction to Bayesian statistics using BUGS". Through a mixture of
lectures and practical exercises, participants will learn how the BUGS
language can be used to build models that represent the complexities of
real data.
Topics to be covered include hierarchical modelling, missing data,
measurement error, censoring and truncation, meta-analysis and general
evidence synthesis. Throughout we emphasise thoughtful choices of prior
distribution, and checking and comparing fitted models. The WinBUGS,
OpenBUGS and JAGS software and their R interfaces will all be supported.
Instructors: Dr Christopher Jackson, Dr Robert Goudie & Dr Anne Presanis
