Right between Mittagspause and Tagungsabschluss, just how I like it.
It’s a methods conference for the German Psychological Society in Jena. Here’s my title and abstract:
Applied Bayesian Statistics
Bayesian methods allow the smooth combination of information from multiple sources and are associated with open acknowledgement about uncertainty. We discuss modern applied Bayesian perspectives on various topics, including hypothesis testing and model comparisons, noninformative and informative priors, hierarchical models, model checking, and inference using Stan.
I’m planning to do a few of my favorite examples (birthdays, beauty-and-sex-ratio, and World Cup) and then just yap a bit about the above topics, using the examples as a starting point. Maybe answer some questions if that’s how they do things there.
All will be in English; sorry!
And I’ll do it through a Google hangout. Saves on jet fuel.
P.S. It turned out they wanted my Statistical Crisis in Science talk so I gave a version of that. It went well, there were even a couple places in the talk where I was able to work in some jokes about German politics.
I’m guessing this is for paying customers only? If there’s a way, I’d love to see your slides!
Is it possible to join the google hangout? That would be great!

Isn’t 14 CET something like 4AM in US? That’s hardly anywhere between Mittagspause and Tagesabschluss.
9AM in New York.
Here’s a joke you should have made: Bayesian analsyis is statistics drang nach Osten.
14:00 CEST (Jena) is 8:00 EDT (New York), so it was a post-breakfast rather post-lunch talk ;)
Andrew, next time you should visit Jena for real – lovely place.
Andrew, thanks for stopping by, even if just by video. I really enjoyed the talk, although I had to leave a bit earlier to catch my train. I think the talk was indeed being recorded; maybe you can ask if you could make the recording available in your blog.
