Abstract
The Bayesian framework offers powerful advantages in modelling complex data structures, uncertainty quantification, and incorporating prior knowledge and expert opinion. However, model development and implementation can be challenging for non-technical practitioners, and implementation of Bayesian models often requires extensive computation. In this talk, I will explore the role of Bayesian statistics in decision-making and addressing societal challenges with examples from COVID -19 and neglected tropical diseases.
Series This talk is part of the MRC Biostatistics Unit Seminars series.
