Dr. Arnab Hazra
Course Description
In this course, the students will be introduced to the Bayesian approach to statistics. We will start with some preliminary concepts about probability theory, and then we will gradually move towards data analysis. Students will learn the main philosophical difference between the commonly-taught Frequentist approach and the Bayesian paradigm. They will see some benefits of using a Bayesian approach, in terms of better uncertainty quantification and obtaining results that are more intuitive and more interpretable.
