- Abstract:
- The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology will deliver two four-day training courses on "Bayesian methods for ecological and environmental modelling". One course will be in Edinburgh in January 2024, the other one in Wallingford, near Oxford, in April 2024. The training will be free to attend. Candidates must submit an application via an online form. UKCEH would like to make this training as inclusive as possible and welcoming for all. Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, learners will be able to # Understand scientific papers that use Bayesian methods and terminology # Use Bayesian software (JAGS, BayesianTools) # Use R to write code for Bayesian models # Design and apply simple Bayesian statistical models for any data set # Design and apply hierarchical models # Combine disparate data sets in a single analysis # Carry out Bayesian parameter calibration of complex process-based models # Understand stochastic emulators and be able to apply them for low-dimensional inputs and outputs # Compare the relative plausibility of different models by means of Bayes' Factors # Analyse uncertainties associated with model outputs # Communicate uncertainties clearly In addition to the four-day training course, you will be able to 1. Attend an online follow-up workshop 2. Join a peer-to peer learning platform for sharing ideas, questions and solutions. 2 Get up to 30 minutes one-to-one advice from one of our trainers. We are confident, that by the end of the training programme, you will have all the knowledge, skills and the confidence to apply Bayesian methods to your relevant area of research.
