Dear Colleagues,
The ASA Philadelphia Chapter is pleased to host a virtual traveling course: Introducing Bayesian Statistical Analysis into Your Teaching on Friday, September 29, 2023, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (EST) by Dr. Jingchen (Monika) Hu, an Associate Professor of Statistics at Vassar College, and Dr. Kevin Ross, a Professor of Statistics at Cal Poly.
This workshop, through a series of detailed classroom-ready examples and hands-on activities, including exercises in R, will demonstrate ways to introduce Bayesian statistical analysis as they would be presented to students at the introductory, intermediate, and advanced undergraduate levels, respectively. During the workshop, the course participants will play the role of the student as they complete and discuss activities from the following four modules including basic Bayesian reasoning, inference and prediction, regression analysis, and hierarchical models. No previous experience with Bayesian statistics is necessary. Although the instructors will share their experiences of incorporating Bayesian ideas in their teaching and provide some suggestions for best practices, this workshop will also be relevant to those interested in a (very) short course in Bayesian statistics.
For registration (student/retiree $25, regular $35) and more detailed information about the workshop, please visit the registration page or contact us by email. This course can be counted toward your continuing education for maintaining GStat and PStat accreditation.
Sincerely,
Wei-Ting Hwang, Ph.D.
President, ASA Philadelphia Chapter (2023-2024)
