<p>So, after having held workshops introducing Bayes for a couple of years now, I finally pulled myself together and completed my DataCamp course: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.datacamp.com/courses/fundamentals-of-bayesian-data-analysis-in-r?tap_a=5644-dce66f&tap_s=10907-287229" target="_blank">Fundamentals of Bayesian Data Analysis in R</a>! <img alt="😁" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/72x72/1f601.png" class="wp-smiley"></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.datacamp.com/courses/fundamentals-of-bayesian-data-analysis-in-r?tap_a=5644-dce66f&tap_s=10907-287229" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.sumsar.net/images/posts/2018-12-12-my-introductory-course-on-bayesian-statistics/bayes-course-shield-small.png?w=456" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>While it’s called a course, it’s more like a 4 hour workshop and — without requiring anything but basic R skills and a vague notion of probability — it introduces Bayesian data analysis from scratch. The whole course is done <em>online</em>, coding and all, using DataCamp’s interactive course interface (like Rstudio, but in the browser) and, while you need a DataCamp subscription to do the full course, you can <em>do the first part for free</em> by just signing into DataCamp! If you feel that’s too much of a commitment you have the first two videos in the course right here: </p>

<p>Please try it out and let me know what you think! </p>
<h3>Where to go after the course?</h3>
<p>As always I recomend either of the following two excelent introductions to Bayesia data analysis:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1482253445/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=sumsarnet-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1482253445&linkId=72b763f899422ed939d39d8c5d08a57d" target="_blank"><em>Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan</em> by Richard McElreath </a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0124058884/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0124058884&linkCode=as2&tag=sumsarnet-20&linkId=a0241b5529f6736dd6ac5d4e5b5708be" target="_blank"><em>Doing Bayesian Data Analysis</em> by John Kruschke</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>My DataCamp course roughly covers chapters 1-3 in <em>Statistical Rethinking</em> so you’ll already have a headstart on that one.</p>
