SUMMARY:Introduction to Bayesian Statistics for Social Scientists
DESCRIPTION:This course will familiarise students with the basic concepts of Bayesian theory. It is designed to provide an introduction to the principles\, methods\, and applications of Bayesian statistics. Bayesian statistics offers a powerful framework for data analysis and inference\, allowing for the incorporation of prior knowledge and uncertainty in a coherent and systematic manner. \n\nThe course covers: \n\nThe Basics of Probability\nBayes’ Theorem and Bayesian inference\nProbability Functions\nBayesian Conjugates\nMarkov Chain Monte Carlo\nApplications\n\n  \nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to understand the basics of Bayesian analysis\nPerform simple Bayesian analyses\nApply simple models to their own work\n\n  \nThe course will be split across two days. On both days\, participants will work through a two-hour pre-recorded lecture in the morning and attend a two-hour live session at 2pm where they will have the opportunity to apply their learning to practical examples.

SUMMARY:Unlock the Power of Corpus-Based Techniques for systematic literature reviews
DESCRIPTION:Advances in computer technology made it possible to create and use large language databases often referred to as corpora in language studies. A recent development in the field is to apply corpus-based approaches to a wide range of areas beyond linguistic analysis (Pérez-Paredes\, 2021; Seale & Charteris-Black\, 2010). This interactive webinar will showcase how both quantitative and qualitative corpus analysis techniques—such as keyword analysis\, analysis of collocation (frequently co-occurring words)\, keywords in context\, and multi-word items—can be effectively utilized to identify and examine key themes for systematic literature reviews. Mastering corpus-based techniques is useful for researchers and PhD students as it allows for a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of existing literature. These skills enable participants to uncover patterns and themes that might be missed through traditional methods\, thereby enhancing the depth and rigour of research. \nThis session will be presented by Dr Reka Jablonkai\, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the Department of Education and Research Group Convenor for the Language in and for Education Research Group at The University of Bath. \nReserve a space on our Ticket Tailor page: https://buytickets.at/swdtp/1620092
