ABS06 - 2006 Applied Bayesian Statistics School
HIERARCHICAL MODELLING APPROACHES FOR SPATIAL DATA IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES
Bertinoro (FC), Italy 17 - 21 July, 2006
The Applied Bayesian Statistics School web-page is HERE.
The overall program timetable can be found HERE.
The links below provide notes and computer programs for modelling spatial data. The web sites for the two softwares we will use:
WinBUGS or OpenBUGS
You can download the new registration key for WinBUGS from HERE. NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT REQUIRE ANY REGISTRATION KEY FOR OPENBUGS.
