HTH RS M 750 / Practical Bayesian Design and Analysis in Clinical Studies

3 unit(s)

The intention of the course is both to introduce students to Bayesian ideas and to equip them to design, analyse and interpret clinical studies from a Bayesian perspective. Instruction will consist of both seminars and computer labs using WinBUGS. WinBUGS is not “point-and-click” software, so students will need to write short sections of code. Examples will be provided, and an instructor will be present in the lab sessions to provide advice.
