NEW: Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling:
A half-day course at NUI Galway on 1-June-2010
Professor
David Draper
Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
The course will cover a variety of methodological topics and examples in
Bayesian hierarchical and latent-variable (random-effects) modeling. With
the advent of Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for sampling
from posterior distributions, these powerful models have become increasingly
practical, and they are now routinely being used to answer important scientific
questions in many fields, including education, health policy, and medicine.
Registration is free.
