### Description | ||
|
||
Bayesian methods produce clear and easily interpretable results, allow us to incorporate all the available information through the use of priors, and offer a flexible template for setting up complex models. In this workshop, we will explore some practical aspects of Bayesian modelling using two popular probabilistic programming languages: JAGS and Stan. | ||
|
||
The session will begin with a quick overview of how to set up models in JAGS and Stan. We will then explore the process of coding custom densities for the likelihood in both languages. | ||
|
||
We will also explore a general framework for setting up different types of joint models, including the traditional joint longitudinal and time-to-event models. | ||
|
||
We will also discuss quirks of working with the two different languages, and other practical tips for Bayesian modelling. |
