DESCRIPTION:Use of Bayesian methods is becoming increasingly widespread w
 ithin quantitative social and health sciences\, particularly for analysi
 ng data with complex structure\, such as hierarchical or multilevel data
 . However\, very few applied researchers have any formal training in Bay
 esian methods. This two-day course aims to introduce quantitative resear
 chers to the basic principles of Bayesian inference and simulation-based
  methods for estimating Bayesian models\, and to highlight some of the p
 otential benefits that a Bayesian approach can offer. There is a large p
 ractical component to this course with time for hands-on data analysis u
 sing examples drawn mainly from the social and health sciences.
