[Marmam] workshop on Bayesian methods

Announcing an introductory workshop on Bayesian statistics held prior to the 16th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals. The use of Bayesian statistical methods is increasing in marine mammal studies, as well as in other areas of science. How do these methods differ from traditional statistics? Does a Bayesian analysis produce a “better” answer? If you’ve heard or read of Bayesian statistics but aren’t sure what it’s all about, come to this workshop for an introduction to the basic ideas.
