Each section of the tutorial will involve hands-on manipulation and analysis of sample datasets, to be provided to attendees in advance. This will include fitting your data to probability distributions, estimating relationships among variables using linear and non-linear models, and a brief introduction to bootstrapping methods. Finally, participants will be introduced to methods for statistical data modeling using some of the advanced functions in Numpy, Scipy and Pandas. Next, we will cover plotting and visualization using Pandas and Matplotlib, focusing on creating effective visual representations of your data, while avoiding common pitfalls. This includes tasks like indexing, alignment, join/merge methods, date/time types, and handling of missing data. Therefore, the first half of the course is comprised of a 2-part overview of basic and intermediate Pandas usage that will show how to effectively manipulate datasets in memory. Much of the work involved in analyzing data resides in importing, cleaning and transforming data in preparation for analysis. This tutorial will introduce the use of Python for statistical data analysis, using data stored as Pandas DataFrame objects. He originally hails from Vancouver, BC and received his Ph.D. He specializes in computational statistics, Bayesian methods, meta-analysis, and applied decision analysis.

This tutorial doesnt aim to be a bayesian statistics tutorial - but rather a programming cookbook for those who understand the fundamental of bayesian.
