*/"What is the probability you are a Bayesian"/*
with Shaun S. Wulff, University of Wyoming
3:00 - 3:30pm Eastern time, Tuesday, November 18, 2014
/(note the different start time than usual)/
Students need exposure to Bayesian thinking at early stages in their
mathematics and statistics education. While many students in upper level
probability courses can generally recite the differences in the
Frequentist and Bayesian inferential paradigms, these students often
struggle using Bayesian methods when conducting data analysis.
Specifically, students tend to struggle translating subjective belief to
the specification of a prior distribution and the incorporation of
uncertainty in the Bayesian inferential approach. The purpose of this
webinar is to present a hands-on activity involving the Beta-Binomial
model to facilitate an intuitive understanding of the Bayesian approach
through subjective problem formulation which lies at the heart of
Bayesian statistics.
The webinar will be conducted using the GoToWebinar software platform. A
computer with internet access is all you need. GoToWebinar offers audio
participation through your computer microphone. For participants in the
US and Canada, if you prefer the telephone for audio participation, this
feature is also available.
All registered webinar attendees will receive a confirmation email
generated by the GoToWebinar system upon registering. This email
includes a link to enter the webinar. Keep this confirmation email as
you will use this link to enter the webinar – you will also be sent a
reminder with the link two hours before the webinar begins. Once you
leave the webinar, you cannot re-enter. If you have not used GoToWebinar
before, please review the information below. The webinar will be
recorded and the archived version will be available on-line within a few
days following the presentation, if you are unable to attend.
We will make available to registered participants, in advance of the
webinar, the PowerPoint slides to enable you to take notes on the slides
during the presentation.

You will see the live presentation on your computer screen and the sound
of the presentation will come through your computer. If you can listen
to music or hear videos on your computer, your computer has the
capability for you to hear the presentation. For your voice to be heard
by the presenters, if you wish to ask a question, GTW gives viewers the
option of VoIP (voice over the internet) or a telephone option for U.S.
and Canadian participants. VoIP will allow everyone from around the
world to participate without additional cost. The option to change from
VoIP to phone will appear in the screen of options after you enter the
webinar. If you wish to change to phone, follow the instructions and
enter the provided pin number. If you are using VoIP, you will need a
microphone attached to your computer so that your question can be heard
by the presenter/audience.
