Please be advised that we are running this highly successfully course
for the second time this year, course dates are above,
for further details about the course, costs and accommodation please use
the link below.
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bayescourse/index.shtml
Course aims
* Day 1 - Introduction to the use of Monte Carlo methods, Bayesian
methods, Markov chain Monte Carlo, regression models, and
implementation in WinBUGS
* Day 2 - Generalised linear models, predictions, missing data,
model criticism, model comparison and assessing sensitivity to
prior distributions, introduction to hierarchical models.
Target audience
* Statisticians working in any application area, with familiarity of
classical methods such as generalised linear and random-effects
modelling.
* No experience of Bayesian methods or specialist software will be
assumed - however it will help greatly if you have downloaded
WinBUGS and worked through the Tutorial
