This course will provide a conceptual introduction to Bayesian analysis and introduce Stata's suite of commands for fitting models, performing MCMC diagnostics, and conducting model evaluation in the Bayesian framework.
Learn how to perform Bayesian analysis in Stata using the bayes prefix and the bayesmh command. The bayes prefix provides Bayesian support for over 50 estimation commands using either default or user-supplied priors. Fit an even wider variety of models in the Bayesian framework using the bayesmh command by providing the model formulation, likelihood function, and prior distributions for each model parameter.

Enrollment is limited. This course is offered in both classroom and web-based settings.
Classroom training courses are two-day courses that run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. These courses take place at a training center where computers with Stata installed are provided. A continental breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack will also be provided; the breakfast is available before the course begins.
Web-based training courses are four-day courses that run for three to four hours daily with hourly breaks. You will be provided with a temporary Stata license to install on your computer, a printed copy of the course notes, and all the course datasets so that you can easily follow along.
