Science Training Session: Bayesian Inference Without Tears: This webinar will showcase the theoretical advantages and practical feasibility of a Bayesian approach to data analysis. A general introduction to Bayesian inference and parameter estimation is followed by a more detailed treatment of Bayes factor hypothesis testing. Throughout the webinar, concrete demonstrations with the JASP program (jasp-stats.org) highlight the ease with which data analysts may answer important questions that cannot be addressed within the traditional frequentist paradigm. Potential pitfalls and solutions are discussed. No prior knowledge of Bayesian inference is required.
