Bayesian spatial statistics and modeling represent a robust inferential framework where uncertainty in spatial processes is explicitly quantified through probability distributions. This approach ...

This course covers the ideas underlying statistical modelling in science through the lens of causal thinking. We cover the implementation of these ideas through Bayesian computational methods and ...

The FDA has released draft guidance on how sponsors can use Bayesian models for clinical trials.

Here’s our estimate of public support for vouchers, broken down by religion/ethnicity, income, and state: (Click on image to see larger version.) We’re mapping estimates from a hierarchical Bayes ...

It turns out that the old adage about statistics and damned lies wasn’t a joke. Sticks and stones may be bonebreakers, and words inflict no (physical) pain, but numbers can kill. In 2004, for instance ...

We consider the usual proportional hazards model in the case where the baseline hazard, the covariate link, and the covariate coefficients are all unknown. Both the baseline hazard and the covariate ...

Everyone who spends time with children knows how incredibly much they learn. But how can babies and young children possibly learn so much so quickly? In a recent article in Science, I describe a ...
