UPDATE: Here is the PowerPoint presentation from this workshop for your reference.
The next WGSA Workshop will be help on Wednesday (2/11) at 4:00 in the Dean's Conference Room. Paige Howell will lead us in an introduction to JAGS, a Bayesian software program. Please see a more detailed description below, and we hope you can join us!
Crash course in using JAGS through the R interface. Participants should have R (http://www.r-project.org/) installed on their computer as well as the rjags package and JAGS (http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net/) before coming. The workshop will briefly cover the basics of Bayesian inference using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. Participants will have a chance to work through an exercise building a model with the JAGS language and executing their script in R. Past experience with R, maximum likelihood parameter estimation, and generalized linear models is useful but not required.
