Course Description

Bayesian estimation offers a flexible alternative to modeling techniques where the inferences depend on p-values. In this course, you’ll learn how to estimate linear regression models using Bayesian methods and the rstanarm package. You’ll be introduced to prior distributions, posterior predictive model checking, and model comparisons within the Bayesian framework. You’ll also learn how to use your estimated model to make predictions for new data.

    The course was great, easy to follow, but it seems to focus only on linear models. The basics can be carried to potentially other models. It will be great if data camp can cover more topics on bayesian analysis.

    I learned a lot from this course and benefitted from another example of Bayesian stats and how you can improve statistical inference using bayes
