Bayesian Learning and Bayesian Computation
This is a graduate course for students and researchers who want to learn Bayesian modeling and data analysis using Bayesian techniques. Also the advanced Bayesian computation methods, for example, Monte Carlo methods, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods will be discussed in detail.
