Introduction to Bayesian Statistical Modelling using brms

We are super pleased to invite you to our workshop "Introduction to Bayesian Statistical Modelling using brms". In this two-day workshop, we will learn some basics about Bayesian statistics, with a focus on using a Bayesian approach to statistical modelling. We will use brms package by Paul Bürkner, which uses Stan.

On the first day, we will have an intro to Bayesian statistics and statistical modelling. We will be introduced to brms using simple variants of the general linear model, and multi-level models, with a normal response distribution.

On the second day, we will take a look at the binomial and Poisson distribution for count data, and learn when we should used them and how to do so using brms.

The workshop will have small lectures and some practical exercises so the participants can fit their own models with brms.

This workshop will be facilitated by Marie Beisemann. She's about to start her Phd in Statistics at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany, right after finishing he Master's degree in psychology at the University of Münster. She's (really) passionate about sharing her knowledge about brms and Bayes with us, and we're super excited to have her here!

P. S., if you will attend this workshop, we really need you to install brms beforehand.
