Central Indiana Chapter Rocks with Brad Carlin, Baves

摘要

It's certainly no ordinary short course when the "Paul Shaffer of Bayesian statistics" is in the house and calling the tunes. Sure, Brad Carlin is Mayo Professor in Public Health and professor and head of the division of biostatistics at the University of Minnesota, but he is also a musician and band leader who brings a performer's sense of timing to his courses. While the tempo can be fast, Carlin makes sure to hit every note along the way. For members of the Central Indiana Chapter, the feature act was Carlin's short course, "Bayesian Methods for Data Analysis, Meta-Analysis, and Adaptive Trials," part of the ASA's Council of Chapters Traveling Courses. The course was held May 17 at the Lilly Corporate Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.
