10. Objectives of the course programme (competences) Целта на овој предет е студентите да се запознаат со концепти од Бајесова статистика и да научат да ги применуваат на реални проблеми и различни податочни множества. Студентот ќе се запознае со методи на симулација и ќе научи да ги толкува резултатите од Бајесовата анализа. Анализата на податоците се прави во R и/или Python
11. Course content Бејесово правило, prior, веродостојност, posterior дистрибуција. Модели за дискретни/непрекинати типови на податоци. Коњугирани фамилии (beta, gamma-Poisson, normal-normal). Предвидување на идни настани. Бејесова регресија. Loss фукција. Теорија на одлучување.
Monte Carlo апроксимации. Апостериории апроксимации со Gibbs семплер. MCMC (Monte Carlo Markov chain). Бајесови алгоритми во Машинско учење и нивна примена на различни податочни множества. Вовед во хиерархиско моделирање.
