Announcing an introductory workshop on Bayesian statistics held prior to the 16th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals.

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.
