    About the Course

    This course describes Bayesian statistics, in which one's inferences about parameters or hypotheses are updated as evidence accumulates. You
    will learn to use Bayes’ rule to transform prior probabilities into posterior probabilities, and be introduced to the underlying theory and
    perspective of the Bayesian paradigm. The course will apply Bayesian methods to several practical problems, to show end-to-end Bayesian
    analyses that move from framing the question to building models to eliciting prior probabilities to implementing in R (free statistical software)
    the final posterior distribution. Additionally, the course will introduce credible regions, Bayesian comparisons of means and pr...

    Great course. Difficult to apprehend sometimes as the Frequentist paradigm is learned first but once you get it, it is really amazing to see the believe update in action with data.

    I like this course a lot. Explanations are clear and much of the (unnecessarily heavyweight) maths is glossed over. I particularly liked the sections on Bayesian model selection.

    Excellent coverage. Needed to read up before watching the video in order to be able to follow the concepts. Topic was covered extensively and I was able to learn a whole new way of looking at statistics in general.

    For sure the most challenging course so far.

    I'm amazed by how our statistical intuition fits with Bayesian approach and how we can get better results.

    I'm eager to use this concepts in new models at my job!

    Es un curso muy difícil de seguir si no tienes amplios conocimientos de estadística y probabilidad. Nada que ver con los anteriores de esta especialización.

    Very nice introduction to bayesian statistics, the materials have some level of depth, and the tests and assignments are highly available for beginners.

    The course is compact that I've learnt a lot of new concepts in a week of coursework. A good sampler of topics related to Bayesian Statistics.

    This course is very good for bayesian statistic theory. What is more, it also teaches a lot of coding skills with R which is really useful.

    Great course. Quite difficult though. I wished it was split to two course or maybe an entire specialization dedicated for this.
