Workshop on Bayesian Data Analysis

Workshop on Bayesian Data Analysis with Michael Betancourt

CAMPUS TIMONE

3 days of lectures and hand-on exercisesDeadline for registration: 12/05/2022

Eager to know more on Probabilistic modelling, identifiability and degeneracy, Bayesian workflows and Hierarchical modelling?Register for a 3-day workshop organised by the Institute de Neurosciences des Systemes on "Bayesian Data Analysis" with Michael Betancourt, taking place between May 17th to 19th, 2022 in MarseilleThe course is taking place live at CAMPUS TIMONE - Faculté de Médecine,27, Boulevard Jean Moulin, Bâtiment pédagogique, Hall 204, 13005 Marseille, FranceRegistration fees, covering a 3-day training, amount to €250 per person (including adm. fees).Description: Due to the importance and common use of Bayesian framework for inference and prediction, the advanced techniques in probabilistic programming languages to overcome the inference difficulties with big data complemented with big models have been receiving increasing attention in this context. Stan is a popular platform for facilitating inference, providing an expressive modelling language and implementing state-of-the-art algorithms to draw subsequent Bayesian inferences.We are very happy to announce the INS courses on "Bayesian Data Analysis", with Michael Betancourt, a core developer of Stan and expert on Hamilton Monte Carlo. The courses begin by surveying Bayesian inference, Bayesian computation and a principled introduction to Stan.With a solid foundation, we will move onto to the elements of a robust Bayesian workflow in practice and then continue to the problem of interest to neuroscientist such as source localization in Neuroimaging.The courses are highly interactive, with exercises demonstrating a principled Bayesian workflow and range of modelling techniques run in Python environment. Courses run for 3 days and include material spanning Probabilistic modelling, identifiability and degeneracy, Bayesian workflows and Hierarchical modelling.Prerequisites:The course will assume familiarity with the basics of calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory. For a self-contained introduction to the latter please review my probability theory, conditional probability theory, and common probability densities case studies. The last will be particularly relevant.
