[CogSci] Two Bayes workshops at the University of Amsterdam (10-16 July)

[Frederik Aust]

This summer the University of Amsterdam is organizing two workshops:

1. *Theory and Practice of Bayesian Hypothesis Testing: A Hybrid JASP 
Workshop* held July 15-16, 2023, in Amsterdam or online. For a details, 
please see below or visit the workshop website: 
https://jasp-stats.org/workshop/

2. *Annual JAGS Workshop: Bayesian Modeling for Cognitive Science* held 
August July 10–14, 2023, in Amsterdam. For a details, please see below 
or visit the workshop website: https://jasp-stats.org/jags-workshop/

We would greatly appreciate it if you forwarded this email to research 
groups within your department/institute that may be interested in these 
workshops.

These workshops can be conveniently combined with attendance of the 56th 
Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology and the 21st 
International Conference on Cognitive Modeling, which are held in the 
week after, also at the University of Amsterdam.

Kind regards,
Eric-Jan Wagenmakers

1. "Theory and Practice of Bayesian Hypothesis Testing: A Hybrid JASP
Workshop" held July 15-16, 2023. This workshop can be attended both
on-site in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, or online.

The main purpose of this workshop is to familiarize participants with
key Bayesian concepts in hypothesis testing. Concrete examples
illustrate how to compute, report, and interpret Bayesian hypothesis
tests for popular statistical models such as correlation, regression,
t-test, ANOVA, and contingency tables. To facilitate the learning
process we use JASP, a program whose attractive graphical user interface
allows us to focus on core Bayesian concepts and principles. This
workshop is relevant to psychologists, economists, biologists, and
generally any student or researcher who wishes to draw conclusions from
empirical data. No background in Bayesian statistics is required.

2. "Annual JAGS Workshop: Bayesian Modeling for Cognitive Science" held
July 10–14, 2023, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

In this workshop, plenary lectures provide the theoretical background of
Bayesian inference, and practical computer exercises teach you how to
apply the popular JAGS software to a wide range of different statistical
models. After completing this workshop, you will have gained not only a
new understanding of statistics, but also the technical skills to
implement models that are appropriate for the substantive hypotheses
that you seek to test. This workshop is meant for researchers who want
to learn how to apply Bayesian inference in practice. As the workshop
covers a variety of topics within cognitive science and exercises of
varying difficulty, the course material is appropriate for researchers
with a wide range of prior knowledge and interests. Although some basic
knowledge of Bayesian inference is an advantage, this is not a prerequisite.
