Bayesian Regression Modeling with rstanarm
|
Learn how to leverage Bayesian estimation methods to make better inferences about linear regression models.
Course Description
Bayesian estimation offers a flexible alternative to modeling techniques where the inferences depend on p-values. In this course, you’ll learn how to estimate linear regression models using Bayesian methods and the rstanarm package. You’ll be introduced to prior distributions, posterior predictive model checking, and model comparisons within the Bayesian framework. You’ll also learn how to use your estimated model to make predictions for new data.
What You’ll Learn
Introduction to Bayesian Linear Models
A review of frequentist regression using lm(), an introduction to Bayesian regression using stan_glm(), and a comparison of the respective outputs.
Assessing Model Fit
In this chapter, we’ll learn how to determine if our estimated model fits our data and how to compare competing models.
Modifying a Bayesian Model
Learn how to modify your Bayesian model including changing the number and length of chains, changing prior distributions, and adding predictors.
Presenting and Using a Bayesian Regression
In this chapter, we’ll learn how to use the estimated model to create visualizations of your model and make predictions for new data.
