Summer 2024: Bayesian Statistics I

Contents

Bayesian thinking differs from frequentist statistics in its interpretation of probability and uncertainty. It complements the existing statistical toolbox with powerful methods for simulation and inference. The lecture Bayesian Statistics I aims to familiarize the students to the Bayesian approach. The course deals with the theoretical fundamentals and the principles of estimating, testing, forecasting and model assessment. In addition, Bayesian regression concepts and computer- intensive simulation methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) are introduced.
