This week we will focus on Bayesian statistics.
Goal. To look at Bayesian statistics for sample proportions and introduce the beta distribution.
Step 1. Try this workshop: Bayesian statistics - part 2
Step 2. Here is a video with my solutions and comments on the workshop: YouTube
Step 3. I've posted the first few problems from Homework 6.
Step 4. I'll be available this week for Zoom office hours at 1:30pm MWF. E-mail me if you want a link.
Goal. To use Bayesian statistics to make inferences about a population proportion, and compare the Bayesian techniques with the classical techniques for hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.
Step 1. Try this workshop: Bayesian vs. Classical Statistics
Step 2. Here are my solutions and some additional explanation: YouTube
Goal. To introduce the Gamma distribution and see how it is used in Bayesian statistics.
Step 1. Try this workshop: The Gamma Distribution
Step 2. Here's a video with my solutions and comments: YouTube
Step 3. I've also posted some new homework problems using the Gamma distribution.
