[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] Statistical rethinking course

[Antonella Soro]

Thank you Hassan.

Dear all,

the Statistical Rethinking course of Richard McElreath is a very good one.

As he says in the description below, his is not not only and not mainly a course on data analysis, but on how to critically and scientifically think about it. I highly recommend it.

Best wishes,

Antonella

We will prioritize conceptual, causal models and precise questions about those models. We will use Bayesian data analysis to connect scientific models to evidence. And we will learn powerful computational tools for coping with high-dimension, imperfect data of the kind that biologists and social scientists face.
