Description:

Join Allen Downey, author of Think Stats: Probability and Statistics for Programmers for an introduction to Bayesian statistics using Python. Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important, but there are not many resources to help beginners get started. People who know Python can use their programming skills to get a head start.

In this webcast, we will discuss:

• Bayes's theorem
• Bayesian estimation
• Bayesian hypothesis testing
