## Speaker

Maxim Kochurov

## Time

9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm UTC / 6pm Berlin

## Duration

60 minutes

## Event Description

State of Bayes is a series of webinars about advances in practical methods and modeling intuition. The major focus of the webinar series will be on understanding concepts of advanced statistical models and introducing prior knowledge into the loop. This free course will be interesting for Bayesian practitioners who want to deepen their understanding about Bayesian modeling.

Session 1 (Introduction): The first event is a teaser before the main course where we will get the most intuition and overview of what type of questions you can solve using Bayesian methods.

UPCOMING Sessions (generally bi-weekly)
The full course will include:

• 1: Introduction
• 2: Bayesian Thinking
• 3: Hierarchical modelling
• 4: Interpretable Linear Regressions
• 5: Bayesian AB testing
• 6: Gaussian Processes
• 7: Gaussian Processes for Time Series
