Alicia Johnson presents Bayes Rules!

Bayesian statistics can be really intimidating! Alicia and her co-authors set out to demystify Bayesian statistics. On October 18th, 2021, we hosted Alicia for an interactive workshop on Bayesian statistics in R where we learned about the difference between Bayesian and Frequentist statistics and how to work with Bayesian statistics in R with the bayesrules R package.

The Rmd and Slides from the event are available here: https://github.com/ajohns24/r-ladies-philly

The book can be found for free at: https://www.bayesrulesbook.com
