No previous knowledge of Bayesian methods is assumed, but some
background in likelihood methods would be beneficial. The course will
cover the basic ideas of Bayesian inference, and also a brief
introduction to some of the computational methods that are
implemented in WINbugs.
Practical sessions on Thursday will take you through some very
simple examples to gain confidence in defining priors and
carrying out computations.On Friday you will work more independently
on one of a selection of problems, with feedback session from other
participants at the end.
The course will be held at lab 134 at the Craiglockhart Campus, 10
Colinton Road, Edinburgh.
