This post is by Eric. This Wednesday, at 12 pm ET, Kristian Brock is stopping by to talk to us about functional uniform priors for dose-response models. You can register here. Abstract Dose-response modeling frequently employs non-linear regression. Functional uniform priors are distributions that can be derived for parameters that convey approximate uniformity over the […]

Nonparametric Bayes webinar
This post is by Eric. A few months ago we started running monthly webinars focusing on Bayes and uncertainty. Next week, we will be hosting Arman Oganisian, a 5th-year biostatistics PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania and Associate Fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute for Health Economics. His research focuses on developing Bayesian nonparametric […]
Stan Webinar, Stan Classes, and StanCon
This post is by Eric. We have a number of Stan related events in the pipeline. On 22 Nov, Ben Goodrich and I will be holding a free webinar called Introduction to Bayesian Computation Using the rstanarm R Package. Here is the abstract: The goal of the rstanarm package is to make it easier to use Bayesian […]
Webinar: Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis and Stan
This post is by Eric. We are starting a series of free webinars about Stan, Bayesian inference, decision theory, and model building. The first webinar will be held on Tuesday, October 25 at 11:00 AM EDT. You can register here. Stan is a free and open-source probabilistic programming language and Bayesian inference engine. In this […]

I (Eric) will be giving a Stan talk at the Seattle useR Group next week. Daniel Lee and Ben Goodrich will be there as well. If you are in the Seattle area on Tuesday, please stop by and say hello. Thanks to Zach Stednick for organizing this meetup.
Stan Talk in NYC: Macroeconomic Forecasting using Analogy Weighting
This post is by Eric. The next Stan meetup is coming up in February. It will be hosted by the New York Bayesian Data Analysis Meetup group and International Securities Exchange. The BDA group was formerly called Stan Users – NYC. We will still be focusing on Stan, but we would also like to open it up […]
