[Forum SIS] Short course "Bayesian Methods in Health Economics", University of Bergamo, March 2015

[Michela Cameletti]

Short course "Bayesian Methods in Health Economics"
30/03 - 01/04/2015
University of Bergamo (Italy)

*Instructor*: Dr Gianluca Baio - University College London (
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/statistics/people/gianlucabaio)

*Description*: The course aims at providing an introduction to Bayesian
analysis and MCMC methods using R and MCMC sampling software (such as
OpenBUGS and JAGS), as applied to cost-effectiveness analysis and typical
models used in health economic evaluations. As such, it is intended
for health economists, statisticians, and decision modellers interested in
the practice of Bayesian modelling and will be based on a mixture of
lectures and computer practicals. The emphasis will be on examples of
applied analysis: software and code to carry out the analyses will be
provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops for the
practicals.
The target audience is anyone with a basic knowledge of probability
distributions, regression analysis and Markov models. However, statistical
concepts are reviewed in the context of applied health economic evaluations
in the lectures. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops
(not provided by the organizers) for the practicals.

Lectures and practicals are based on Bayesian Methods in Health Economics
<http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/BMHE> (BMHE) and The BUGS Book
<http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/thebugsbook/> (BB).

*Course fee*: 85 Euro. The fee includes course material, coffee breaks and
lunches.
