Location: The Hub @ Zalando

Zalando would love to welcome Ben Goodrich (https://sipa.columbia.edu/faculty/ben-goodrich), whose primary research area at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) is quantitative analysis with a focus on developing algorithms to understand social and political problems.

Presentation: An Introduction to the Stan Software for Bayesian Analysis

The Stan project implements a probabilistic programming language, a library of mathematical and statistical functions, and a variety of algorithms to estimate statistical models in order to make Bayesian inferences from data. This talk will provide a brief introduction to modern Bayesian inference using Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) as implemented in Stan.
