Vivian will cover the following topic using R:
• write short scripts to define a Bayesian model
• use or write functions to summarize a posterior distribution
• use functions to simulate from the posterior distribution
• construct graphs to illustrate the posterior inference
And she will show a few real world applications of Bayesian modeling.
Vivian Zhang, CTO of SupStat Inc which is a data analytic consulting firm.
