Bayesian methods are increasingly used to analyze data in ecology and related disciplines and have some advantages over classical (frequentist) methods many scientists are familiar with. The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to Bayesian statistics, with the expectation that participants will become better-equipped consumers and producers of scientific inference based on Bayesian methods of data analysis. The workshop will focus on applied tutorials built around simple and familiar statistical models. Discussions of the underlying philosophy, computational methods, and mathematical theory will be brief. Participants will use Bayesian methods to calculate basic summary statistics (mean, proportion), then advance to fitting Bayes regression models (linear regression, generalized linear models [GLM], and mixed models [GLMM]. Hands-on exercises will be run in Program R using its interface to JAGS. We expect that participants will leave with an increased fluency to evaluate research based on Bayesian statistics and with an increased capacity to learn and apply Bayesian methods in their own research.
