講題：Practical Bayesian Computation using PROC MCMC

摘要：

This tutorial is the second part of a two-part series on Bayesian analysis and the objectives are to equip students with computational tools through a series of worked-out examples that demonstrate sound practices for a variety of statistical models and Bayesian concepts.

The MCMC procedure is a general purpose Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation tool designed to fit a wide range of Bayesian models, including linear or nonlinear models, multi-level hierarchical models, and models with nonstandard likelihood function or prior distributions. This three-hour tutorial provides a quick introduction to PROC MCMC and demonstrates its use with a series of applications, such as Monte Carlo simulation, various regression models, sensitivity analysis, random-effects models, and predictions. In addition, topics that are commonly encountered are also discussed, including survival analysis, network meta-analysis, power prior, and missing data problems.

This tutorial is intended for students who are interested in Bayesian computation. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Bayesian methods and experience using the SAS language. This tutorial is based on SAS/STAT 13.2.
