Bayesian thinking differs from frequentist statistics in its interpretation of probability and uncertainty. It complements the existing statistical toolbox with powerful methods for simulation and inference. The lectures Bayesian Statistics I and II aim to familiarize the students to the Bayesian approach. The first part deals with the theoretical fundamentals and the principles of estimating, testing, forecasting and model assessment. In addition, Bayesian regression concepts and computer-intensive simulation methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) are introduced. The second part complements and deepens these topics, for example by Bayesian nonparametric density estimation, Bayesian model choice and Approximate Bayesian Computing (ABC).
