(B)AIES

Francesco and Andrea have asked me to join them in doing a short course before the conference of the Italian Health Economics Association (AIES). The course is about Bayesian statistics and health economics and will be in Rome on November 14th.

I think we have quite a lot to cover and whether we’ll actually manage to do everything depends on how people are familiar with Bayesian statistics. But potentially we can talk about quite a few interesting things, including how to do Bayesian statistics in health economics. I think I’ll show at least some of the problems from the book, but there’s no lab, which is a shame.

On second thoughts, however, if they had their computer to do the exercises, then we’d definitely not going to make it on time, so probably it’s just as well…
