Full Description
This exam investigates Bayesian methods in the field of public health biostatistics. The focus will be on the application of Bayesian reasoning, prior distributions, and posterior distributions in the analysis of public health data.
Bayesian statistics provide a flexible framework for updating beliefs based on new evidence, which is increasingly relevant in public health decision-making. Understanding these methods enhances the ability to conduct robust health research.
Candidates will be evaluated on their verbal articulation of Bayesian concepts, including the comparison to frequentist approaches, and the ability to interpret Bayesian outcomes.
Additionally, candidates may discuss real-world scenarios where Bayesian methods have been utilized to inform public health initiatives.
