Bayesian Ideas in Pictures: thinking and arithmetic for understanding risks during a pandemic
Ever wondered what Bayesian thinking is? And how it relates to Bayesian statistical modelling? Or Bayesian networks? Or Empirical Bayes estimates? Bayes theorem lies at the heart of all of these methodologies, in different ways. This talk explains the core ideas of Bayes' theorem, simply. The approach is based on the cookie analogy used by a quantum physicist to explain (and illustrate) Bayesian ideas to toddlers (and their parents).

Expanding your Statistical Universe from Hypothesis Testing to Modelling
In this workshop we walk you through the appropriate use, and practical ramifications, of using different statistical paradigms to approach a simple problem, involving inference about a probability. We use an interactive exercise designed to engage multiple senses, to help through the rather abstract notions involved.This session will be interactive and will involve discussion in small groups.

Doing Logistic Regression: Effects and Significance
Presuming that you understand the purpose and The Meaning of Logistic regression (3 episodes: model, explainability, predictions), this series of 4 episodes walks you through the process of doing logistic regression. In the context of logistic regression, we show the benefits of thinking about what you are doing, and conversely, the dangers of not thinking whilst doing.
