The stats-in-action mini-symposia on methods involving statistics are designed to showcase the variety of ways in which Griffith researchers and friends have put statistics to good use, in practice, to support an evidence-based approach to research.
This is the first of two mini-symposia (the other is on 28 Jan) to consider all facets of Bayesian stats-in-action. The common theme is how a Bayesian approach has made a difference in helping to address a research problem. From a wide range of statistical backgrounds, all researchers are willing to talk about their experiences, good or bad.
The Bayesian statistical models and computation discussed here are not necessarily novel, focussing on actual analysis, reporting or publishing experiences, and future plans. This first Bayesian mini-symposium comprises 2 sessions (starting at 10 and 12:45). The first session, looks at interesting aspects of Bayesian linear regression. The afternoon session, looks at different kinds of Bayesian hierarchical models.
