Hi everyone Instats is excited to offer a 5-day seminar, Introduction to Bayesian Statistical Modelling <https://instats.org/seminar/introduction-to-bayesian-statistical-mod-1>, livestreaming over 5 weeks from Sep 8th – Oct 6th and led by Dr. Rosina Savisaar. Designed for both newcomers to regression and seasoned frequentist analysts eager for a fresh perspective, this workshop provides a gentle yet comprehensive gateway into Bayesian reasoning. You will learn how priors, likelihoods, and posteriors work together to deliver intuitive answers to research questions, bypassing the limitations of p-values and enabling the estimation of complex models that classical methods often cannot handle. Through hands-on coding in R with the brms package and weekly real-data assignments, participants will master matching variable types to probability distributions, building and interpreting Bayesian regression models, checking model adequacy, visualising results, and predicting future observations. No extensive background in statistics is required—only a basic grasp of R and descriptive statistics—making the seminar broadly accessible to students and researchers from any field.
Sign up today <https://instats.org/seminar/introduction-to-bayesian-statistical-mod-1> to secure your spot and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
