The April run of our course Practical Bayesian Data Analysis was fully subscribed, and we are planning an additional course: 25 - 27 July 2006. Course Outline: This course is aimed at statisticians, and other data analysts, who wish to learn how to analyse their data from a Bayesian perspective 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 with WinBUGS and R. No prior knowledge of either is assumed. Starting from simple ideas, a Bayesian modelling framework is developed covering hierarchical models and a variety of applications. The course also covers MCMC diagnostics and methods of model checking and selection.
