Interviewing, to quantify expert knowledge, with uncertainty

This workshop provides a very practical approach to eliciting information from experts. We start with an exercise that then provides material for dissecting the experience, and understanding that the bulk of the work in conducting elicitation is in the preparation.

Formulating priors of effects, in regression and Using priors in Bayesian regression

This session introduces you to Bayesian inference, which focuses on how the data has changed estimates of model parameters (including effect sizes). This contrasts with a more traditional statistical focus on "significance" (how likely the data are when there is no effect) or on accepting/rejecting a null hypothesis (that an effect size is exactly zero).

Bayesian for Babies

Bayesian for Babies

This workshop has two parts, leading you through a core idea of Bayesian statistics, relying heavily on pictures. These pictures are used to illustrate core concepts of probability -- conditional probability, priors, and posteriors.

Mixed Methods 3 - Visualising the Logic of Studies (Quant or Qual)

This workshop explores different ways of visualising the strategy for a Mixed Methods study, which lies at the heart of all quant(itative) studies, and some types of qual(itative) analysis. This includes the conceptual framework, which summarises the logic of a study, and helps define research questions and important concepts that provide a rationale for the data collected.
