Stan Class | April 22-24, 2020
Learn Bayesian Data Analysis (BDA) and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computation using Stan with Stan developer Jonah Gabry.
This three-day workshop will be taught by Jonah Gabry. Jonah is a Stan developer based at Columbia University and the developer of many R packages for applied Bayesian data analysis (rstan, rstanarm, rstantools, bayesplot, shinystan, loo). Jonah will be joined by fellow Stan developers Ben Bales and Rob Trangucci, special guest Andrew Gelman, and other members of the Stan Development Team will make some guest appearances at various times throughout the course.
Participants will receive a copy of Andrew Gelman’s landmark book Bayesian Data Analysis. Proceeds from the class support further development of Stan and the New York Open Statistical Programming Meetup.
