Introduction to Bayesian Modeling in Biology

The Bayesian Paradigm allows for a conceptual integration of prior information and new data. In addition, it allows for the outputting of probability about states of nature, updated based on observed data, which are often highly useful in decision making.

This class introduces students to Bayesian modeling applications in Natural Resources. Students will learn how to elicit, fit, check and compare models under the Bayesian Paradigm in the context of common problems in natural resources using the Stan programming language.  No prior knowledge of Stan programming is required.
