Bayesian Workshop in Lisbon

The purpose of this workshop is to promote the application of Bayesian methods among the early career researchers (i.e., master students, PhD students and postdoctorals) and to establish a good practice of open science within this group. Hence, this workshop will provide introduction on Bayesian concepts and hands-on materials using R and brms package.

Prior knowledge of Bayesian analysis is not required for this workshop. Nonetheless, a basic understanding of frequentist methods would be helpful in grasping the Bayesian theoretical concepts and understanding the difference between them. Concerning the hands-on exercises, familiarity with R is not a prerequisite, yet having some experience or knowledge in this area would be advantageous.

In this workshop, participants will have a talk on modelling individual variability by João Veríssimo, Ph.D. from CLUL - Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. The Bayesian workshop will be delivered by Mark Andrews, Ph.D. from The School of Social Sciences at University of Nottingham, United Kingdom.
