In this course we present the basic principles of Bayesian statistics (an alternative to "orthodox" statistics). We start by learning how to estimate parameters for standard models (normal, binomial, Poisson) and then get acquainted with computational methods (MCMC) and software (WinBUGS) that can solve complicated problems that arise in real applications.-In this course we present the basic principles of Bayesian　statistics (an alternative to "orthodox" statistics).
