Course Description
Bayesian data analysis is an approach to statistical modeling and machine learning that is becoming more and more popular. It provides a uniform framework to build problem specific models that can be used for both statistical inference and for prediction. This course will introduce you to Bayesian data analysis: What it is, how it works, and why it is a useful tool to have in your data science toolbox.
Chapter 1: What is Bayesian Data Analysis? (Free)
This chapter will introduce you to Bayesian data analysis and give you a feel for how it works.
