This repository holds slides and code for a full Bayesian statistics graduate course. Bayesian statistics is an approach to inferential statistics based on Bayes' theorem, where available knowledge about parameters in a statistical model is updated with the information in observed data. The background knowledge is expressed as a prior distribution and combined with observational data in the form of a likelihood function to determine the posterior distribution. The posterior can also be used...

This package defines linear mixed models (LinearMixedModel) and generalized linear mixed models (GeneralizedLinearMixedModel). Users can use the abstraction for statistical model API to build, fit (fit/fit!), and query the fitted models. A mixed-effects model is a statistical model for a response variable as a function of one or more covariates. For a categorical covariate the coefficients associated with the levels of the covariate are sometimes called effects, as in "the effect of using...

brms is an R package by Paul Bürkner which provides a high-level interface for fitting Bayesian multilevel (i.e. mixed effects) models, generalized linear / non-linear / multivariate models using Stan as the backend. It allows R users to specify complex Bayesian models using formula syntax similar to lme4 but with far more flexibility (distributions, link functions, hierarchical structure, nonlinear terms, etc.). It supports model diagnostics, posterior predictive checking, model comparison,...
