DMC 340 - Bayesian Statistics (4 Cr.)

Bayesian Statistics is both a set of statistical tools as well as a particular interpretation of statistical information. In Bayesian statistics, parameters or hypotheses are updated as evidence is introduced. This course will introduce Bayesian comparisons of means and proportions, Bayesian regression and inference using multiple models, and discussion of Bayesian prediction. Students will be using computer simulation methods found in R. Prerequisites: C- or above in CS 116 and DMC 106. Spring odd years.
