Simple Bayes example - R-SIG-teaching

Tue, Mar 12, 2019 5:47 AM #

Hi Mark,

I do a simple introduction to Bayesian inference in my intro stat/data
science courses with a discrete example -- these courses don't have a
calculus prerequisite so we don't go into the continuous examples.


   - Dice game: Guess which hand I'm holding the good die -- slides that
   walk through the game are at
   https://www2.stat.duke.edu/courses/Fall18/sta112.01/slides/u3_d03-bayes-inf/u3_d03-bayes-inf.html#9
   .
   - Breast cancer screening: In the same lecture I also do a more
   traditional cancer screening example -- slides that walk through that are
   at
   https://www2.stat.duke.edu/courses/Fall18/sta112.01/slides/u3_d03-bayes-inf/u3_d03-bayes-inf.html#38
   .
   - We have a Bayesian Statistics MOOC, and the materials in the first
   week of that course are simple examples as well:
   https://www.coursera.org/learn/bayesian?specialization=statistics. You
   should be able to view the videos for free, though Coursera sometimes makes
   this awfully difficult. I believe you're supposed to click on "Audit the
   course" to view the videos for free. R labs that accompany this course can
   be found at https://github.com/StatsWithR/labs (labs that start with
   4.*). The first lab should be a simple example as well. It features a Shiny
   app that demonstrates the process.

Best,
Mine

Subject: [R-sig-teaching] Simple Bayes example

I am teaching a basic statistics course and I would like to include some
simple examples of the Bayesian approach. Has anybody got any
ideas/examples?

Thanks
