Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data A Bayesian Approach
This first edition focuses on probability and the Bayesian viewpoint. Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data, A Bayesian Approach gives basic material on probability and then introduces inference by means of Bayes rule. The focus is on statistical thinkinghow one learns from data. The objective is to present students to the basic tenets of statistical inference: the distinction between samples and populations, the representation of populations by means of a probability model, and the learning about the population from data. The goal is not to present statistical methods but to present the basic concepts of statistical inference.
Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data, A Bayesian Approach is distinctive with respect to two aspects: its emphasis on active learning and its use of the Bayesian viewpoint to introduce the basic notions of statistical inference. The rationale for this approach is that it provides a more accessible introduction to inference at this introductory level.
