Michael Betancourt is a freelance statistician developing Bayesian analysis methodologies, computational tools, and pedagogical resources to help bridge statistical theory and applied practice. His ultimate goal is to help scientists draw more precise, and more principled, insights from their data.
In his full-day workshop about generative modeling, Michael will introduce the concept of narrative generative modeling followed by an interactive exercise allowing attendees to implement these modeling techniques in Stan. For this exercise Michael will craft a tailored case study to showcase generative modeling in an epidemiological context.
