Learn Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Medical Research
Learn Bayes is an event series at Karolinska Institutet, bringing together anyone interested in Bayesian methods with international experts. Join us for an exciting educational program aimed at expanding your statistical toolbox with Bayesian methods.
About Learn Bayes
For whom? The events are open to all interested, within or outside of KI.
The events are free of charge.
The program is tailored towards users of statistics (but you don’t need to be a statistician), that are new to Bayesian methods. The focus is on introducing the foundations of Bayesian methods and their unique advantages in the context of medical research. No prior experience in using Bayesian methods is required.
You can pick and choose among the events to join and there is no requirement to attend all the event in the series. However, later events will often build upon what has already been discussed. More information under each event below.
Details about each event: The events are published in the KI calendar and contain detailed information. Follow the links below or search for Learn Bayes in the KI calendar.
Register to the mailing list: For continuous information and updates about the events, please register to the Biostat email list (open to anyone, both inside and outside of KI) by emailing Marie Jansson at marie.jansson@ki.se.
The Resource Hub: You can find lecture slides, exercise materials, and further reading on our resource hub Learn Bayes.
