Language at Leeds presents:

Workshop: Introduction to Bayesian linear models with brms for language researchers

Date: Thursday 11 April 2024, 10am-4pm
Location: Esther Simpson cluster 1.09

This workshop will teach you the basics of Bayesian inference using Bayesian linear models fitted with brms in R. The workshop assumes familiarity with R and linear modelling with lme4, but it does not assume previous experience with Bayesian statistics. At the end of the workshop you will be able to fit and interpret basic models for Gaussian/log-normal data and binary data (aka logistic/binomial regression), including how to work with priors.

The workshop will be delivered by Dr Stefano Coretta, Senior Teaching Coordinator for Statistics in the Linguistics and English Language department at the University of Edinburgh.

The workshop will take place in a computer cluster with access to RStudio and the required packages. If you bring your own laptop, please make sure you install the relevant software at least one day before the workshop, following these instructions.

The workshop will be in person only, but recordings of the presentations will be available.

This event is open to researchers who use linear models in R for language-related datasets based at Leeds or elsewhere.
