Teaching Bayesian data analysis to psychology students
(2015) Bayes@Lund 2015- Abstract
- Bayesian methods of data analysis are increasingly being adopted in psy-
chology and across the social sciences. Yet, attempts to teach Bayesian data
analysis to the psychology students in Lund has met with many challenges.
In this talk, I shall lay out the current progression of statistics teaching from
first year undergraduate to master level. Recent attempts to introduce Bayesian
methods of data analysis include a day lab, increased emphasis on the soft-
ware program R, and proposed changes to the course literature. The aim is to
provide the fundamental tools for the students to progress, and open discus-
sion about the feasibility of teaching Bayesian data analysis to the students.
