Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students basics of bayesian analysis and its applications, mainly from the field of economics and finance. At the end of the course students should be able to: understand main ideas of bayesian probability and explain methods of their applications. They will be able to create a suitable model for a concrete problem and interpret predictions of such a model.
Syllabus
  • Basic notions of bayesian probability
  • Aplications in medical diagnostics
  • Discrete parametric models
