Title Winter School: Applied Bayesian Statistics in Medical Research
Description The Bayesian approach to medical research offers a powerful framework allowing for the incorporation of externally available information. Although Bayesian statistics is sometimes perceived and discussed as controversial, this course is not about controversies, but about pragmatic ways of integrating available information in a coherent way in analyses of epidemiological and clinical studies. The course builds on a principled probabilistic approach and applied problems and exercises. It is aimed at epidemiologists, statisticians and others who wish to use Bayesian approaches. Participants should have a good understanding of basic statistical and epidemiological principles and be able to interpret parameters and results from standard data analyses.
