In this second, of the two part Introduction to Bayesian Analysis workshop series, we expand on part I to provide practical examples of Bayesian analysis. Topics Include:

  1. Multiple regression with uninformative versus informative priors
  2. Mediation analysis with uninformative versus informative priors
  3. Path analysis with uninformative versus informative priors

During this five-hour workshop, examples will be demonstrated using the Mplus software. However, our focus will be more on the conceptual understanding rather than the software. Materials, syntax (for both Mplus and R), and Mplus output will be provided for all examples, so it is not necessary to have the Mplus software to participate.

We offer discounted pricing for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows as well as discounts for multiple registrations. Registration and payment can be made directly online. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Cheques and Email Transfers.

F.A.Q.

This workshop is for anyone interested in gaining increasing their understanding of Bayesian analysis.

Participants are encouraged to have a working knowledge of multiple regression, path analysis and mediation analysis. No prior knowledge of Mplus or R is required.

During this five-hour workshop, examples will be demonstrated using the Mplus software. However, our focus will be more on the conceptual understanding rather than the software.

Materials, syntax (for both Mplus and R), and Mplus output will be provided for all examples to allow for participation without the use of any software.

While software is not required for this workshop, you will find the Mplus software here, the R software here, and the R-Studio software here.

Registration will continue until the workshop begins. If you need to cancel your registration, please contact us at info@enablytics.com.
