课程概述

This course introduces the Bayesian approach to statistics, starting with the concept of probability and moving to the analysis of data. We will learn about the philosophy of the Bayesian approach as well as how to implement it for common types of data. We will compare the Bayesian approach to the more commonly-taught Frequentist approach, and see some of the benefits of the Bayesian approach. In particular, the Bayesian approach allows for better accounting of uncertainty, results that have more intuitive and interpretable meaning, and more explicit statements of assumptions. This course combines lecture videos, computer demonstrations, readings, exercises, and discussion boards to create an active learning experience. For computing, you have the choice of using Microsoft Excel or the open-source, freely available statistical package R, with equivalent content for both options. The lectures provide some of the basic mathematical development as well as explanations of philosophy and interpretation. Completion of this course will give you an understanding of the concepts of the Bayesian approach, understanding the key differences between Bayesian and Frequentist approaches, and the ability to do basic data analyses....

An excellent course with some good hands on exercises in both R and excel. Not for the faint of heart mathematically speaking, assumes a competent understanding of statistics and probability going in

Great course. The content moves at a nice pace and the videos are really good to follow. The Quizzes are also set at a good level. You can't pass this course unless you have understood the material.

Very informative as an introduction to concepts, but nowhere near the deep dive I'm now interested in taking.

Good course!!... Additional examples of real life explained and done in R or excel will make it great

A lot of formulas and not that much interpretation. It is a good start in Bayesian concepts.

Too much theoretical than practical applications. No need to give both R and Excel videos.

Would have liked more problem solving and real-world application examples.

The workload is manageable however the homework is somewhat challenging.

Not well organized.

No sufficient materials, references, etc.

Very short.

Overall, it's Ok. but the explanation is too short and incomplete.

For some derivations, the explanations are too sparse.

I expected better teaching quality. The instructor is undoubtedly one of the bests in his area, but I personally did not like his teaching in this course. I felt he knows a lot of interesting concepts but intentionally does not teach them. The whole course was like somebody was reading from a textbook without adding any comments for students to actually grasp the concepts. In general I liked the course but I expected to learn much more from it.

It's alright because it gives you an overview of what is covered in a Bayesian Stats class, but the material is presented quite poorly and I had to do a lot of second hand reading to answer the questions. It is not particularly enlightening even and the formulas are presented without proper grounding, context, and intuition. I can recommend this only for dedicated self-studiers who already have some sort of grounding in Bayesian reasoning.

Bayesian Statistics is an essential course for anyone working with data. THis course will provide some introductory concepts and proofs. However as the course progresses to week 4 explanations are rushed or nonexistant.

Compared to other courses like from deeplearning.ai this course is not well maintained with poor quality of instruction and exercises. It feels like a wasted opportunity.

Week 4 explanations are just theoretical where professor is literally not giving any intuition and rushing through the concepts with equations which did not make any sense to me. Till week 3 I could kind follow. I did this course with the intend of giving a based for Machine Learning study and I am an thoroughly disappointed the way it ended up.

The topic is very important, but the lectures are sometimes like reading wikipedia and rewriting it on the blackboard. It lacks intuitive examples and analogies. It might be OK if somebody already have really strong statistician background and intuition. Otherwise it would be really tough to catch up.

Good content. However, way of presentation is not very engaging. Presenter's voice very monotonous and free of any engagement. In my opinion, scribbling formulas to the board does not make a helpful learning experience.

Unsuficient explanation.

Lecturer just writes formulas without trying to explain background concepts. It is like reading a book of statistics. No way that most of the students will understand it.

Some matters were just given formulas and there was a lack of practice. The course should cover less materials or be longer to be effective in teaching.

Disappointing. Hard to follow, as concepts are not fully explained or linked. Steps in equations are often skipped without notice.

it was an okay course, I liked that they used R occasionally in the course, but I did not like how the concepts were discussed

Not very much in depth and does not offer complete lecture notes, which are necessary for answering the quizzes...
