Dear colleagues,

Transmitting Science is offering the course "Introduction to Bayesian 
Inference in Practice".

Course webpage: 
https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/statistics-and-bioinformatics/introduction-bayesian-inference-practice/

Instructors: Dr. Daniele Silvestro [1] (ETH Z?rich, Switzerland) and Dr. 
Tobias Andermann [2] (University of Uppsala, Sweden)

Course overview:

On this course, we will outline the relevant concepts and basic theory 
of Bayesian methods, but the focus of the course will be to learn how to 
perform Bayesian inference in practice. We will demonstrate how to 
implement the most common algorithms to estimate parameters based on 
posterior probabilities, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo samplers, and 
how to build hierarchical models. We will also touch upon hypothesis 
testing using Bayes factors and Bayesian variable selection.

The course will take a learn-by-doing approach, in which participants 
will implement their own MCMCs using R or Python (templates for both 
languages will be provided).

After completion of the course, the participants will have gained a 
better understanding of how the main Bayesian methods implemented in 
many programs used in biological research work. Participants will also 
learn how to model at least basic problems using Bayesian statistics and 
how to implement the necessary algorithms to solve them. The aim is 
that, by the end of the course, each participant will have written their 
own MCMC - from scratch!
