Bayesian Population Analysis Workshop @ Sempach, Dec 2025

[Marc Kery]

Dear all,

the Population Biology Research Group at Vogelwarte Sempach will be teaching a "Bayesian Population Analysis with NIMBLE and JAGS" workshop in December 2025. Topics will include:

 

• GLMs and generalized linear mixed models
• Site-occupancy models
• Cormack-Jolly-Seber models
• Multistate capture-recapture models
• N-mixture models
• Spatial models for areal and geostatistical data (e.g. CAR and Gaussian processes)
• Advanced use of NIMBLE (e.g. use of nimble functions, MCMC configuration)
• The joy of data simulation
• General integrated and Integrated population models (IPMs)
• 
  
• Please see attached for more information about the course and for how to apply.

Best regards  --- Marc

Hi Marc,

Also no online version for this course?

Thanks

Best,

Julia

Dear Julia,

sorry, but no. We are just not fans of online/hybrid courses. Admittedly, an online option would carry benefits for people who cannot physically attend. However, for us and for the people who do physically attend, it would entail substantial costs: having to cater for an online audience completely changes the whole character of a course as a lively event with direct interactions between humans. We do like this human side of a course very much, as it allows for far richer forms of communication and exchange.

Best regards  --- Marc

PS: "mirrored over" to the HMecology list as well
