Bayesian Statistics
Introduction to the Bayesian approach for statistical inference. Explore prior, posterior, and predictive distributions: conjugate priors; informative and non-informative priors; models for normal, categorical, and count data; Bayesian computation, including MCMC and the Gibbs sampler; hierarchical models; and Bayesian model checking and model selection. The equivalent of three lecture hours a week for one semester.
