Rapid and targeted management actions are a prerequisite to efficiently mitigate disease outbreaks. Targeted actions, however, require accurate spatial information on disease occurrence and spread.

The main focus of this short course will be the Bayesian aspect of it. That means this is a slightly more advanced course requiring some knowledge of basic probability, regression methods, and the R ...

New FDA guidance on the use of Bayesian statistics signals a broader shift in accommodating more flexible clinical trial ...

The "replication crisis" refers to a problem in the sciences where findings from previous experiments don't hold up when studies are repeated. It is a particular issue for those in the behavioral ...

Statistical analyses can be conceptually elaborate and procedurally complex, and therefore it is easy to skip steps in the execution of the analysis and to leave out important information in reporting ...

The FDA’s new draft guidance on Bayesian methods in clinical trials has been hailed by some as a breakthrough that could speed drug development. But statisticians and researchers are divided on ...

Bayesian trials formally integrate prior evidence with accruing data to yield posterior probabilities, supporting interim learning, adaptive modifications, and direct predictive futility/efficacy ...
