General information on the workshop topic

Bayesian Statistics provide an intuitive approach to interpreting what we can learn from data, and how we can update prior knowledge. With growing access to easy-to-use software for Bayesian methods, this approach has become well established within the scientific community. This workshop provides a forum for an interdisciplinary exchange of Bayesian applications and ideas.

 

Program and course of the workshop

The workshop is a two-day workshop consisting of two parts, with the first day being a “gentle” introduction to Bayesian concepts for anyone who is interested in but not yet quite familiar with Bayesian Statistics. The second day consists of a keynote and sessions with presentations on applied Bayesian research.

 

Day 1: David Kaplan will give an introduction to Bayesian Statistics on day 1 of the workshop. He is Patricia Busk Professor of Quantitative Methods in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and has published extensively on Bayesian methods.

Day 2: If you are interested in actively contributing, we cordially invite you to submit your presentation proposal on applied Bayesian research to workshop.stat-oek(at)uni-bamberg.deby 15 March 2023.
