Welcome to Bayesian Statistical Concepts and Methods. In this course, you will use Bayesian methods in data analysis and modeling; work with posterior distributions, distributions without closed form, directed acyclic graphs, Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms; and employ R and the Stan platform for statistical modeling. You will also be introduced to Bayesian hierarchical models, which are useful for the interpretation of multi-level data (sub-group versus group).

This Specialization covers the use of statistical methods in today's business, industrial, and social environments, including several new methods and applications. H.G. Wells foresaw an era when the understanding of basic statistics would be as important for citizenship as the ability to read and write. Modern Statistics for Data-Driven Decision-Making teaches the basics of working with and interpreting data, skills necessary to succeed in Wells’s “new great complex world” that we now inhabit. In this course, learners will be able to use Bayesian methods in data analysis and modeling, to work with posterior distributions, distributions without closed form, directed acyclic graphs, and Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms, and to use R and the Stan platform for statistical modeling. Learn more about the instructors who developed this course. Read the instructor bios and review the learning outcomes for the course.

In Module 2, we will draw a Bayesian model as a graph and distinguish posterior distribution, posterior predictive distribution, and expected loss or cost. We will also calculate distributions without closed form, recognizing that we can use computational methods to draw from the distribution even when there's no straight-forward equation to define them. Be sure to review the learning objectives before beginning work in this module.

In Module 3, we will employ R and the Stan platform for statistical modeling. You will explore Bayesian methods in data analysis and modeling; work with posterior distributions, distributions without closed form, directed acyclic graphs, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms. You will also be introduced to Bayesian hierarchical models, which estimate subgroup parameters relative to the parameters of a larger parent group. Be sure to view the course introduction video and review the learning objectives before beginning work in this module.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
