welcome to stk 4021, autumn 2017

Welcome to the course! The course book is "Bayesian Data Analysis" (Gelman, Carlin, Stern, Dunson, Vehtari, Rubin, 3rd edition, 2014), which even has its own webpage:

www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/book/

You should get hold of a copy, before teaching starts; try Akademika, or eBay, or Amazon, or verdensveven.  Only some of the chapters of the book will be in the main curriculum, and there will also be supplementary notes and exercises; check earlier versions of the course on this website.

Teaching will take place in VB, Auditorium 2, Wednesdays 12:15 to 15:00 (typically in the format of two hours of lecture and then one hour of exercises), and we start off Wednesday August 23.
